Keele undergraduate medicine A100 offer holders - 2024 entry

Hey! Thought I’d make a chat for Keele medicine offer holders. It would be lovely to have a chat and get to know some of you!

Hi, are you already there or…?

Hi - you know for the interview - is it ALL based around the stimulus they give you before hand, or do they ask other questions out of the stimulus . please could someone let me know. im a bit unsure about the structure

Hey! No I’ve got an offer to start in September. I noticed there wasn’t an offer holders’ chat and I thought it’d be nice to get to know prospective students

Hey how did your interview go? I had mine today and I’m over analysing everything!! Wish I’d said more etc etc how long until you got your offer from interview to offer?

Heyyy! Congratulations on getting an Interview! That’s completely normal, do not panic. I was overanalysing everything after my interview as well. I wasn’t overly-confident with how my interview went because it didn’t plan out how I wanted it to in my head but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you haven’t given well, thought-out answers. There are things that I wish I would’ve said but when you’re under pressure with limited time, it’s impossible for the interviewers to see the whole of you and the interviewers understand that. I had my interview on the 4th March and got my offer on the 19th March so 15 days. I wish you the best of luck, I’m sure you’ve smashed it!

Thanks for sounding so reassuring they were really lovely interviewers and yes as you said there wasn’t enough time to say absolutely everything that I wanted to. And some of that comes with experience as well and as this was my only interview experience I’ve a lot riding on it! Do you have any other offers?

100% unfortunately I didn’t get any other interview offers so that made my interview all the more nerve-wracking! How about you?

Same this is my only option!

Where did you apply to? I applied to HYMS, Keele, Exeter, and Leeds

Hey! Firstly congrats on your offer. This is so hear warming to have this chat! I've got an interview on the 15th and I was wondering if you got any tips for me?

do they have an offer holder day

HYMS Leeds Lincoln and Keele 👍🏼

If none of the questions come up that you have practiced do not panic! I believe it’s nearly impossible to predict what they can ask you, just remember to breathe. Remember, they’re testing your resilience - they don’t want planned out, robotic answers, they want you to be able to think on the spot using critical thinking skills and metacognition. In your 2 hour gap between interviews, try and distract yourself as you don’t want to get too hung up on the first part. Remember, the second part of your interview doesn’t affect the first and vice versa. Good luck!!

Ahhh no way!!
