mandatory questions at Leeds interview

[katherine1111]

I have got an interview at Leeds in January. The letter said that the interview would consist of 4 mandatory questions. Would any one who has already had an interview at Leeds be willing to say what these questions are?

Eh? It didnt say that anywhere on my letter :?

[katherine1111]

No. All it said was that there would be four mandatory questions, with follow up questions to your answers. I guess that they will be the obvious questions like, why do you want to be a doctor? Why have you applied to Leeds?

Assuming they haven't changed, they ask about - why medicine, positions of responsibility and outside interests. The fourth one was just 'anything else' so I don't know if there is a new category now.

Hello,

from a quick scan through the prospectus etc that I was sent I think my bets are that the four mandatory questions will be related to;

1. Insight into a career in medicine
2. Social and cultural awareness
3. Responsibility
4. Interests and activities

the questions they asked me were along the lines of
-why medicine
-why leeds
-work experience
-interests/achievements/responsibility
i dont know how consistent they are with the topics though

What was your answer to the "Why Leeds?" question? My main reason is that I already live here and work in the university, but I can't help thinking that's not really what they would want to hear!

gear it towards course structure too.
