I had my interview on the 4th March and it seemed that people didnt turn up as the Admissions lady asked to take my interview 45 minutes early and stated that people had just rang her to say that they were not turning up.
The questions were probably the hardest yet I answered them Ok, well, it seemed at the time as I already have the offers I need...
The questions were:

Were you interested in any other professions before that?
Besides communication skills, what other skills must a Dr posses?

What would you do if you never got in medical school this year?

Woah! I only got about 10 questions. Seems they were really interested in your opinion on EVERYTHING!

All the best, you must've been pretty cool if you managed to remember all that

i thought that it was a lil hefty too when I walked out the interview room :P
Im not too bothered to be honest as unless they offer me an unconditional offer I doubt that I will take it up anyway

Have you been offered anywhere Donna?
The interviewers were really nice anyway, and I made them chuckle quite abit which is always good :lol:

Yeah, me too my response to how would your parents describe you was "not the brightest". I have unconditionals from edinburgh aberdeen and glasgow and i'm waiting to hear from newcastle which is where i'd like to go! What about yourself?
