for peeps who have done their interview, how long should our replies be? 1 minute average?

It really depends on the question, always answer in depth where appropriate but don't waffle; stay concise

It was okay! I thought they asked some pretty standard questions and the ethical scenarios were okay too!

oh okay, thats good to hear. Were there a lot of personal statement based questions? Cus im slyly stressing on that... ://

Was this your first interview?

Hi! Yeah it was my first interview so pretty scary! They haven't read your personal statement so dont worry. You can mention things you put on there to impress them cause they won't know a thing about it! Hope this helps. Where did you apply?

Ah great! Did they deal with the ethical scenario stuff you read beforehand first?

Yep. So you have to choose from 3 ethical scenarios and you have half an hour beforehand to make notes on it. You then tell them which one you chose and they ask some general questions then questions on the scenario. Hope that helped. Good luck! Where have you applied?

Hey, guys that have done their interviews or have experience, anyone got any tips how to control interview nerves? :frown:

Honestly I was SO nervous before mine. But they'll give you an hour beforehand to just chill so utilise that time to talk to people around you! Everyone there s probably just as nervous and you're all in the same boat. Talking to people really helped me calm down. Just relax and be yourself - if medicine is truly what you want to do then you'll be fine in the interview. Just let your passion come through! Good luck :smile:
