oooh ,reapplicant . ace. well, I cant be giving too much away to my competition now can I !

Yeh they mark you for things. lol.

It was a very nice interview I felt ( obviously didnt work tho, as I was rejected... I thought I did quite well.... ) where did you have interviews last year ?

hi,

just a bit of info...

there will be 3 interviewers, a chairperson (senior interviewer), a GP/consultant/SpR and a medical student (year 3 and above).

Each member of the panel marks you out of 15, which is 3 marks each for communication, motivation and insight, responsibility, social awareness and interests. So theres 45 marks for the interview.

last year you needed 37 marks for an offer (not including ucas form) but it may be closer to 35 this year.

baby

I have an interview too! It's at 2:15pm on the 13th! I might see you medicinefreak! Are you going to go to that tour before the interview? I'm going to go because I haven't had a chance to look around the uni yet :-S
37/45 seems a really high mark to have to get for the interview!!

[BabyDoc06]

it is high, but if you are relaxed and coherent then the marks are easy to get. Just being articulate will help a lot

[medicinefreak]

yep yep...mine is at 3.05 on the 13th, so I might see you there bacon cobb.Yep I wanna go on the tour before.might give me a better insight, but more importantly alllllow me to relaxxxxxxxxx..lol.hmm and we have the same ukcat scores....lol

just so you guys know they're not offiically due to start until jan so they probably really like you guys. leeds do give reduced offers. so the best of luck guys, kick some ass.
