Nottingham Medical Interview during A-levels

Orginally, I applied to notts for medicine and was rejected (probably because of my low UCAT score) and signed up for them to contact me if they had any places spare for an interview. So a couple days ago, I got an interview invite but its next week during my A-levels.

There are available slots before and after the time of my exams but I just wanted to know if anyone else was in the same position and wanted to ask for any advice in balancing the interview prep as well as my A-levels. I've been rejected from everywhere so would really like to do well in this interview and be offered a place, but also I don't want anything to affect my perfomance in my A-level exams. Just a bit of dilemma I'm in, so any advice would be really appreciated 🙌

Im in the exact same scenario! Notts is my last chance, but it really don't want to risk jeopardising my levels for the interview. I got the invite yesterday and have a week to prep, but I've got an exam 2 hours before my interview. I can't even do interview prep with my friends who are also doing med as they're (understandably) revising for exams rn, so I'm absolutely lost.

Omg literally same! I emailed them and asked if I could do it later bc I have 4 exams next week and I am already going to be so stressed and then the interview on top of it all is actually gonna be so hard. Hopefully they say I can do it later but really doubting it because I thought loads of other people would be in the same position as ppl doing med also have exams next week???
