med interviews!!!

Hi
I have just submitted my ucas application for medicine eeek
I have a slightly lower ucat/ about average so idek if i'll get any interviews but i did get band 1 and predictions are A*A*A so hopefully that carries me

I wanted to ask about when i should i start preparing for interviews? I wanted to start early so i'm confident but i did that with ucat and i think that resulted in my downfall
I'm also just preparing myself for the worst tho lowk expecting 4/4 rejections and have started planning a gap year sigh

It would be appreciated if anyone could offer any tips thanks

Start prepping now, look online for free webinars or YouTube videos on interview prep and practice. Don't pay anywhere since it's not worth it. Also don't try force yourself to be like an "ideal" applicant like some people might say online because you want to show the interviewer your true self (hopefully good). Also i'm no expert so take this with a grain of salt but your UCAT score and predictions seem pretty good so I personally think you might get at least one offer!!
