How do people think they got on at Interview

It's a lottery

My first was pretty good. My second one was so incredibly, unbelievably, fascinatingly disastrous that I was just numb on the train ride back to London. I know people often say that when you think an interview went badly, it could likely mean it was actually good, but since I spoke about 30 words throughout the whole thing, I'm sure it was abominable. My test was also very bad since I was all flustered by then

And I flew all the way to the UK for this. Oh well...

Everyone was ridiculously happy about their interview so I guess none of us can really tell.

Also, the test was bad and I feel I missed out on some perfect opportunities to say something interesting. I was thinking it but didn't say it.

For english lit on Tuesday? Don't worry. I'm not "ridiculously happy" about mine. I didn't agree with their points about my set texts and I struggled with the test.

Yea, wow that was a good guess! Or did I mention that somewhere else here...

Well, coming out of the interview room, everyone had a brilliant smile on their faces. The interviews were so fun that we all fell in love with it. Gonna be a lot of upset people in January

Not agreeing with their points is good surely? I'm assuming you argued for the other side.

Yea, I suppose...I loved the whole situation we were in, the little study and squidgey chairs etc, and I did argue the other side, but I feel I didn't offer as much evidence as they did...I suppose we'll have to wait and see though. It didn't help that I was first, scary stuff!

Hi Guys

As most people have been interviewed now, I thought it would be interesting to poll whether people think they're going to get in or not after their interviews.

Personally, I would be surprised If I got an offer as my first interview was dire.

What do you think?

What college did you apply to?

Downing, You?

Sidney Sussex.

Good luck anyway. Your BMAT results might mean you'll still get in even if the interview wasn't fantastic.

We'll just have to wait and see anyway

Thanks. I think my GCSEs preclude me form any automatic pooling though. What did you apply for at sidney sussex?

There is no automatic pooling for medicine candidates. At least as far as I am aware.

Medicine also.

Try not to think about it or let it ruin your Christmas

One thing as a cambridge student i can guarantee you all on is that how well you thought your interview went bears no relationship at all to how well it actually went. A very informal poll of my year was pretty evenly divided between people who felt it went pretty badly, pretty well, "ok" and who didn't really know

Mine was rather splendid,I have applied to read Maths [Moderator edit: please do not post interview details.]
