Good point Nick, cheers. Thought this would give new people some starting info, since it will be time for another admissions cycle soon, and all those familiar questions will start appearing....

[j00ni]

I wasn't saying this isn't a good idea, just that we will probably still get the same old questions

At least this time round there will be more than just a couple of actual manc med students to answer the questions

On the off chance that someone does read this...

You're right j00ni, the same questions will still get asked by people, but with stickies it's a lot easier to turn round to peope and say "find out for yourself".

In my hour of boredom/procrastination at work I decided to put together some general stuff on interviews that I dredged up and collated from old threads, so I'll be putting that up in the next couple of days.

I always read stickies (am I a freak.....?) and I think this one's great!!

I know I'm being paranoid here but i want to be safe here but i couldnt find anything about this on the site... is there any kind of additional application form like Warwick has?

[Seamooie]

I'm not 100% sure, but I can't see why there would be, especially not for the standard 5 yr course. The first things we had to fill out were CRB forms which came through with the interview invite as far as I can remember.

If you are in doubt, ring the medical school. Better safe than sorry.
