Good luck! Mine is next Monday :smile: I am finishing a BSc in Genetics with Immunology.
Hello! I got invited for the interview too! It's on Monday! I am just going through my personal statement and revising my 'immunology background'. Finishing BSc in Biological Sciences. Best of luck, you guys! :smile:

Yep, I’m doing that too :smile: I’ve heard that they only ask you immunology questions for 30minutes, so I don’t know how much should I revise 😪

Congratulations on being invited for the interview! :smile: Out of curiosity, when did you submit your application? I submitted mine just before the January deadline and I'm waiting to hear back

how did the interview go

It’s really hard to say, I didn’t answer all their questions so it’s really 50:50 ://
They said they’re interviewing until the 14th, and we should get an answer until the week after that but possibly earlier.
Honestly I’m more stressed now than before the interview, how do they expect us to wait 3 weeks??

Well done on completing the interview!! Oh, the waiting period is longer than I expected EEEEK I’m so nervous. Were the questions challenging? Were they specific?

Thanks! They asked approx. 10 questions from basic immuno like t cell subsets and antibody types, some questions abt my research project HIV and autoimmunity cuz that's what i wrote art in personal statement. They also asked why i chose my current uni, which i wasn't really prepared for. Also if i read abt some immunological breakthroughs recently and the classic where do u wanna be in the next 10 years.

Are you applying too btw?

Definitely, they know we’re all v nervous. It probably went better than you thought. I guess we’ll have to wait another 2 weeks to see :///
