Hi, I’ve also got a Scotgem interview next week. Scotgem only uses gamsat scores to shortlist for interview invites so they don’t take them into account past that stage. Offers are made based on interviews only.

Thank you so much for your reply. Which date is your interview if you are happy to share. I am totally stressed at this point. I hope everything goes well.

I also have a ScotGEM interview next week and so nervous for it! I confirmed with admissions that GAMSAT doesn’t have a bearing after interview 🙂

Mine’s on Thursday, what about you? Anyone done a medicine interview before and know what to expect? This is my first one and I feel like I don’t know how to prepare

That’s good to hear, Thank you! Was the usual prep worth it for traditional questions as I saw in the invitation email it says there’s just 5 ‘scenarios’?
