Anywhere between 2 weeks to a month. I sent my application off last month as I applied for med. I’ve only just got an interview offer for Nottingham.

make sure to learn your organic chemistry and maths, I had mine today and completely failed the maths section


What sort of things did they ask you to do in the maths section?

hey, I am in the same position, I applied med but pharmacy at Nottingham as my 5th. Do you think it will be hard to talk about passion for pharmacy in the interview- and I feel like my personal statement might be bore med bad :smile:

I don’t know if it’s the same for you, but I genuinely really enjoy chemistry. I was going to talk about how pharmacy combines chemistry with my desire to help people. That’s why I’m passionate about it. When is your interview?

Ok, that's good!
I feel like I definitely find chemistry interesting , but I'm not sure I am confident in my academic ability (I heard they ask some chemistry/ maths questions).
My interview is next Wednesday (11/12/24), when is yours?

It’s nothing to worry about, You’ll be fine! Just make sure you cover the key ethical principles and revise some basic organic chemistry. Don’t be terrified 😃
I had my interview about 2 weeks ago, I got accepted and I butchered most of the maths section and did ok in the chem but. But I did really well in the general talking bits. What I’m saying is I messed it up and still got in don’t stress about it

11th November :smile: I’m a bit worried though, I can’t attend the one day they’re offering interviews for as I have an interview elsewhere, do you know how long it takes for them to add new dates?
