Hi everyone, I got an interview for Bristol a couple weeks ago. i wanted to ask if anyone has any tips because my interview is 30th Jan, I know I've got some time but I am stressing lol. I am good with issues in medicine and have a list of things I want to include in common traditional questions. I guess I just wanted to ask how everyone else is preparing for they're interviews. Also sorry if someone has already responded to a question similar to mine and i didn't see it.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Biggest piece of advice is remember you need to be better than most of the applicants interviewed, not all of them.

A clearly structured, simple, easy to understand answer will beat a complex, convoluted, and waffled answer any day. So go for something you know is good enough and easy not to mess up.

670 here

Is there anyone who didnt bring the work exp form with them, I got an email saying I'm welcome to send mine in at later date, however it's mandatory in order for them to complete their assessments and they cannot guarantee that it would still be considered alongside my application. So has this just massivley hindered my chance of getting an offer ?!?

Probably not, but they just need to have the w/exp forms so they can check your w/exp if they need to.

That’s 643, do you think they will even get to me? Cause that’s way below 675 and the dates are all used up aren’t they?

So sorry to hear that! That’s a bit worrying cause it’s not far off mine 😫 I’m sure she’ll get in somewhere though, really all you need is one offer, though two would be nice so you have a choice!

Thanks for the support!
With 11 academic GCSEs : 1x9 - 3xA*- 5xA- 1xB (further maths) - 1x 5 ( bad day😉 )
Predicted A level : AAA* (chem-Bio-Eng Lit )
Ukcat : 2520 ( which is still top 46% of those taking Ukcat ) ......
Work experience in hospital, care center for people with disabilities, and care home .....

What do they want exactly if their entry requirements are not good enough to get an interview?.....so misleading.....
Too many kids with so much potential are put aside before they can show what they are made of !
