Has anyone got interviews yet?


Hi there!

We've just published a blog on Medical School Interview Invitations 2017-18.

On this blog you can see when med schools hold their interviews, when the send their offers out - as well as which schools other students have received invitations from in a poll at the end!

For interview preparation, we have plenty of resources - we've just launched our new series on NHS Hot Topics (you can see the most recent ones on the Ageing Population and Organ Donation here) and we have a breakdown of a few key medical news stories of this year on our NHS Hot Topics 2017 page - including Brexit, Charlie Gard and mental health services.

We also have over 100 free questions and answer guides in our Medical School Interview Question Bank.

Hope this helps! :smile:

It’s on Monday :smile: I had one at Birmingham today though and it was okay I think? Honestly with an MMI setup I think it’s hard to know!

Of course no problem!
I’ve put all my stats here just in case it’s useful, not just the ones for Nottingham

GCSEs - 8A* 2A 1B
UKCAT - 763 average SJT band 1
BMAT - 6.4, 4.7, 4A
AS Levels - AAAD
A2 Predicted - A*A*A

Nottingham (interview invite 30/11) - 53/56 on academic scoring
Birmingham (interview invite 10/11) - 10/10 offer calculator score
Leeds (nothing yet and it’s killing me whoop) - 35/35 on A-Level score, probably 3-4/5 for BMAT so like 38/40 or so
Cardiff (interview invite 13/11) - have to say I’ve no idea how they score stuff but I know they’re quite GCSE-heavy

It was, I think, only sent to people meant to be attending interviews on the 11th (yesterday) as it was along with lots of stuff about what to do in case of travel disruption and also a correction of an error on the instructions we received.
