Application process at Manchester: Interviews

[michaela_m]

I'm quite happy with there not being a lunch/tour. Saves my dad the cost of a hotel for the night before. It's gonna take until my 3:00 interview to get up there!! (well, its 4-5 hours in the car, plus parking, and the necessary 2 hours contingency my dad needs etc etc )

You're all so lucky you dont have to fly there!

Oh... when do interview offers start trailing off - when shouldI begin to give up hope - waiting until Feb/March just doesn't appeal. I reallllly want to go to Manchester!!

Good luck to everybody else who has applied this year too!

One of the most interesting things about being a doctor is being to see a patient, communicate with them take history, diagonise, and give the correct treatment as a physio you don't get to do all that. you mainly get referals and prescribe some drugs

My interview's at 4:00, but it doesnt say anything on my letter about a lunch and tour. People who had theirs this year, when you had your interviews, how early in advance did you turn up? i.e. 1 hour/ half an hour?

Hey,
I just had my interview at Manchester yesterday. I flew over there (a 3.5hour flight)--and they made me pretty angry. They interview is supposed to be 15 minutes long, no? thats what they say on all those papers. Well when i got there they were 20mins late (that was ok), but my interview lasted for 8 mins, because they were off schedule and were running late. THey also cut me off everything i was trying to say, saying "oh look the clocks ticking"... Maybe i mjust angry because they asked my about euthanasia and i didnt know what to say, so i didint say anything. It looks like a rejection will be coming my way, but that would be ok if id have atleast been given the chance to express myself

did this seem to happen to any one else, who had their interviews yesterday, on friday the 3rd of february?
