Buckingham Medical School January 2019 Entry

Original post by makahon

Hey! I’m 18 and I’ve got an offer :smile:

I’m pretty sure there’s other school leavers there’s a nice mix of post grads and school leavers but dw there’s definitely people your age😊 do you already have an offer or have you just applied?

Ahh okay that sounds great - thanks for letting me know!😊
And I applied last week after visiting their open day - I didn’t get AAA on results day so didn’t get into my firm or insurance. I have an interview in September for Buckingham so really hoping this last chance goes well🙌🏼

I do but I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed to say. Honestly it didn't differ much from the standard MMI questions.

Idk anyone else’s thoughts on it but I found Medic Mind a helpful resource you can buy the course it’s relatively not expensive but there’s also a bunch of free vids on YouTube. Also Medic portal no doubt

Thanks.

Thanks.

they use 10 stations i think and i personally used the MMI practice book and medic portal to test myself. Its the same attributes as any other med school eg confidence, empathy etc

Make sure you watch a couple of example videos so you’ve seen real life examples of verbal and non verbal communication eg on how to break bad news

Hi everyone 😊Just wondering If anyone here apply with a degree? I have got an interview on the 4th October. Completed a Bsc (Hons) Medical Science in May with a 2:1. I’m not sure whether I am extremely nervous about the fact that I’m a ‘mature student’ or the fact that I don’t know what to expect on the day. I am also yet to receive the time and information regarding the interview. Could Anyone here kindly advise whether they’ve received much information about what to expect on the day? Been looking at medic portal and watching you tube videos on how to approach ethics questions and MMI interviews. And also if they were mixture of students, like students between 25-28 😑🙈at the interview 😊 or mostly school leavers? Any information will be humbly appreciated.

Hello, I was in a similar situation(mature student and applied with a degree) prior to my interview. To help answer some of your questions; during our tour around the medical school and interacting with some of the students, there are quite a good number of students who joined with a degree. age shouldn’t really be your main worry. There were some mature students during my selection day as well so there is a mixture!
As for the MMI, I received an email from the school two weeks before my interview day informing me about the time and location and what to expect during selection day. Be yourself and let your passion for medicine shine through. Personally,Medic portal and YouTube videos prepared me best for the ethical questions.
Good luck with your interview!!

Hi Smily3y,
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply me! Your message has really helped. And it’s really comforting to know there are a mixture of students. I will definitely stick with medic portal for interview preparation. Thank you so much! Are you starting in January, or have you already started?
