Interview Info...

I've been called for an interview at Durham on the 17th December, and am now a little panicked. I've never really had an interview, let alone an interview for medicine. I'm not a total social retard, however I could do with as much help and advice as I can get...
What should I expect from the inteview?
What types of questions will they ask?
How should I prepare?
How long after inteview will I be likely to hear a decision?

Anything on these questions and more would be greatly appreciated.

Ok I just had my interview on friday.

from durham (different elsewhere) they haven't read your application just want to know you.

They asked me things like so why do u want to be a doc, what qualities make a good doc, what qualities do u have, have u had a look around the campus- what did u like ect. (lots of descriptions. It was quite nice actually, v. informal, nice setee to sit on, water offered).

But the biggest difference was they had a couple of cards with senerios on, and asked u what u wud do in that senerio.

Preparation- it depends on u but imagine ur worst question nd prepare an answer for them.

U find out in march im afraid unless u do anything other than med then u find out straight away!!

Gud luck anyway!!
