hey, have you had your interview yet?


Yes I had my interview. The general science questions really threw me.

Yes, some questions threw me off as well and I waffled a bunch of gibberish haha, I’m sure if you covered the basics in other questions it won’t matter too much I think the “vibe” someone gives off is also a huge factor. Do you have a background in Histopathology? NHS etc?

Aw thank you, that's kind. Fingers crossed I guess! I worked for a year as an MLA in histo, what about you?

Same! I could never have prepared for what they asked me. Unfortunately I asked did rubbish on the specific questions too though... Maybe next year 🤞

I suspect so, the NSHCS website says most of the specialities have finished interviews

Monday as I applied to different national healthcare school programs and they said that’s the deadline for that ( the ETP )

I’m guessing no one still has any idea when offers are going to be released?

I would say not for at least week or two after the end of interviews. so maybe around the 4th-11th July, based of what they have said and last years timings.

Hello, congratulations on getting so far in the application process last year. May I ask, did you apply to histopathology again this year?

Thank you! I did but unfortunately I didn’t get longlisted this year.
