hey, I have applied for it but I haven't gotten an interview yet. Apparently most uni's will give them out around February or march so we still have time!

It was kind of in two sections, the first few questions were why medicine?, what makes a good doctor?, why is work experience important and tell us about work experience you’ve had (can’t remember the rest)

The second part was more questions about university life and how well you’d handle the work load/responsibility.

It was pretty chill and from what I’ve heard it was similar to the panel interviews that Glasgow do for their medicine course :smile:
