For past/present interviewees

The lay-person is there because at the end of the day, you want to work with the public. And you'll be working with them very early on. It's all well and good you ticking all the boxes in the clinician's eyes, but if you don't appeal to the lay person then it's not worth it. But I'm sure everyone's done loads of work experience etc to help

I agree, don't sweat the HYMS interviews. They're totally relaxed. There are other med schools that are far worse in their interviews. HYMS want to see the real you, not the you that turns up to do an interview.

So they don't ask you anything from your Personal Statement...just random questions...

If thats the case, I think in some ways, thats better coz it makes the interview more fair!
