Interviews received for International Students

They have yet to specify the dates, but they mentioned that it'd be sometime around feb. Anyone else called for interview?

Okay, so the traveling fees are really piling up for me ><;; I have already had interviews at Cambridge and Newcastle (today actually) and found out yesterday that I have an interview for Glasgow in lab February. I'm really hoping I can get the Glasgow one changed to this week (fingers crossed) since I'm in the country right now. Really sux to have to fly from Canada every time I get called for an interview. Sigh

I don't think you should worry about your application to Nottingham. I didn't hear anything from them until March last year and still managed to get an offer.

Dude I can understand why u got an offer frm the uni of nott so easily thats cuz ur a genious.. i understood dat, cuz u got into BRISTOL .. but u c im not xactly of the genious class.. myolevels and alevels r fine 6A* 1A 1B and 2A's and 2predicted A's but my uk cat is kinda laggging[585] and so is my wrk xperience 2 b honest i don evn hav any relevant wrk xperience

I'm wondering if I should take that as a compliment or a sarcastic comment. However, I'm no genius and my UKCAT was slightly above average, 660. It took Notts quite some time to give me the offer too so it wasn't as 'easy' as you thought. Your GCSEs look perfectly fine to me. If I'm not mistaken, Notts tends to give out more interview invitations so the interview serves as a more important deciding factor. You should be fine, just make sure you know a couple of recent medical news. =)

Dude dere was no sarcasm in dat statement instead i was praising ya cuz i hav hrd abt the difficulties of gettin into BRISTOL. Dat was quite comforting anyways.. btw since ur already Dr.<Freak>

I would like 2 kno how you had prepared for your interviews since im abt to have 1 on the 10th of the coming month at the uni of liverpool. Wat r ur tips and anothr thing is it really worth buying dose bks on how to tackle medical schul interviews??

OH NO..I'm NOT a doctor yet! There are still so many exams to pass before I could add that title to my name!(nick)

I'll PM you with the stuff.

Freak..what do you think of bristol as a medical school?? I know it is a nice place and all but the quality of teaching and clinicals training?

**>Freak<** · 18-02-2009, 10:08 PM

It'd be better for me to send you a PM instead of posting my opinions here as there may be other bristol medics who wouldn't agree with me. Check your inbox.
