Why?? What was hard about it? If you don't mind me asking.

I went there expecting like 2 questions to be asked each station but it was multiple depending on how fast you talk and how much you have to say. I got asked like 6 questions on my first station. I personally struggled with the sjt one of them was written down and I didn’t understand the case study and the interviewer had to help me so minus points for me and the other sjt the interviewer kept asking me to add more to my answer lol and kept reminding me that I’m in a community pharmacy. I think it’s the fact there’s a 1 in 16 chance of getting in lol so good luck

They told us x
I asked them how many people are going to be offered a place and they said they only have 50 places for the course they don’t know yet how many offers they’ll give out and they then said from the first round of submitting your application it’s 1 in 16 chance of getting in

And thank you I hope it went better x

no they didn’t ask any of those. they just ask why u chose pharmacy, why sheffield , about the article and two ethical scenarios. and then based on the answer u give for each question they’ll follow up with smaller questions to make up the time


Was it a generally okay interview or tense lol? Is this for the personal interview you get after the MMIs?

It was an okay interview. They we're chill nothing they said was to trick you it was actually alright. And those questions got asked part of the MMI there's no personal interview after the MMI.

It depends. When you get there you get assigned into groups who may go first or last. I came at 12:30 left at 3 ish. The time frames they give for the day is accurate there’s just a chance you could finish early

Hi I had my interview on Saturday and there were 5 stations
2 about motivations for pharmacy
2 situational judgement
1 about the article you read
5 minutes per station and a tour of the hospital

It was sent by the uni . It would have been a link in an email they sent about the interviews

You've got like they said a station in that article. Then you just have to be prepared for some situational judgement and your reason for studying the course . It's all like they said it would be. It cab take time though because your divided into groups and each group goes in order so you could have time to prepare if your not group 1.
