Do not mumble, I do the same- it makes you seem as if you dont know what your talking about. I try to talk more louder, to stop mumbling.

Listen to the question. Pause. Engage brain. Look at them. Speak.

Don't do that; go into Borders - lovely hot choco and read them.

i did read it :confused:

maybe because i right clicked save to desktop, thanks it was helpful, btw a friend said that they were unlikely to ask you about the uni, is that true because there is a section on your list

well the sgul interviewers did ask me what i would contribute to st georges etc

also in the "why people fail" section it says not a proper experiec (D of E not enough) so my question is what is. Is it talking about things like work experience or wat?

AFAIK with SGUL interviews, they haven't read your PS. That's what happened at my interview as well as other members on TSR.

yeah they mean work experience in a medical/caring environment

aminalia89, did your school provide that info? Very helpful!

They haven't read your PS, they know nothing about you. Just have a rough idea in your head of answers to the basic questions (why med etc) and recent news topics. Good luck, even if you feel nervous now you'll relax into the interview once you're in there (it is 25 mins long after all!)

(Could I please urge people who've had interviews at SGUL not to give away the questions they were asked - they ask qs from a set list, so you're actively giving other people an unfair advantage by telling them! General interview advice is fine though :smile:

No not at all, that's fine! Although it might be a bit antisocial - why not talk to the other interviewees instead?

yes- you do have to wait but its ok because theres lots of people you can wait with and talk to. you can take a bag and anything you want but i wouldnt advise listening to your ipod while you are there because your with a group of people. ermmm i guess my advice would be to be confident but not arrogant- find that balance. i wasnt very confident in the interview, im guessing thats what did it as they dont read your personal statement so they go by your interview score.
good luck! :biggrin:
