LEEDS Interview Advice 2006

yea - the leeds interview is actually quite friendly, and the medical student will be nice to you, although dont kid yourself, we get equal say to the docs in what happens

The best advice is to stay calm, and be ready to think on your feet.

Best of luck everyone with interviews coming up, maybe i will see a few of you arround!

About 550 offers were made. This does not include Bradford Clinical Sciences route.

I don't know of any data this year. Although the amount of people who applied to Leeds has been about 2400 the last two years.

i wish id had my leeds interview in february as far as i remember it was the middle of March.....i was the only person from my college to even get an interview at leeds and managed to stretch it to what could only be called an epic 45 minutes. I got in though and i reckon its the greatest medschool on the planet and if you get in it will be the time of your life.
im only in first year but its quality. First term sucks but itll pass by in an alcohol fuelled blur.
This term rocks as we do dissecion :-D removing a rib cage tomorrow!
The socoial side is unbelievable and even better if you join a sports team. I'm in the medics and uni hockey hockey teams (3s) and although the medics dont play a brilliant standard its great fun and you meet people from every year.
as far as interviews go, everybody says it but be honest and if you arent sure how to answer say so and ask for a bit of time.
also dont be put off by other people as the ones who ive met here are the ones who were least cocky and not saying how great they were.
peace, love and respect,
tim

still waiting to hear from Leeds, kinda in a panic though...really hoped i would have heard by now esp as many people are being rejected and getting interviews...is it because im a 'mature' student? do we get interviews later or should i just accept the fact that they don't want me?...
