Med school interview weight

How strongly do these med schools weigh the interviews? I understand all of them have not very high post interview acceptance rates but im not sure if thats because they weigh interviews highly. Am i making a mistake by applying to them if I'm not exactly confident in interviews?

Hi @juan1232,

I don't study medicine but thought I'd jump in to answer while you wait for someone else. I hope that's ok. The interviews at Southampton (from the website) do have a high weighting as offers are made after the interview, but I don't think you're making a mistake in applying at all. This is because the interview draws from the answers in your personal statement so that could hopefully put you more at ease, knowing you can check back through your statement and practise some answers ahead of time. You can find some more information about the interviews here.

If you have any other questions, please let us know. Wishing you the best of luck!
