Lol

I got the smoking ethics as well - they seemed to be agreeing with me in general and it went smoothly. They liked the point when I said a lot of the ppl who are in hospital now with smoking-related problems, started smoking before the true health effects were known and so to discriminate would be harsh... my grandad was told smoking was gd for you :O so maybe the tobacco companies should be footing the bill!

I know that the ethics questions vary from interview to interview - the girl that went in b4 me was asked about performance-enhancing drugs in sport, and a guy b4 her was asked about breast-feeding...

Really is pot-luck so be prepared to talk about anything

hi all. I'm currently a yr 13 student, hoping to apply for medicine in the next few weeks. I've in the process of writing my personal statement, and was wondering if u guys had any tips to offer? Judging from the fact that youve all 'been there done that' kinda thing. Manchesters my no.1 choice -nething diff they look for?

[j00ni]

http://www.medicine.manchester.ac.uk...sonalstatement would be a good place to start.

I wouldn't say there is anything manc look for in a personal statement that isn't the same as everywhere else. Just remember it's what you have gotten out of your experiences that is important, nothing else

True. im just trying to condense all the info in order to fit in the rest!in my ps.thanks !

[ADZ!]

they really big on commitment, intelectual ability, and summit else. because on my feedback b4 i got an offer they were marked out of 20 each, there was anova 20 but i dnt kno wat it is.
I think work ex was out of 10, interpretation was out of 10, written comm = 5
i really cnt remember nethin else, it all adds up to a hundred tho.

Hey guys- wud anyone else have an interview on Tues 19th February? Just checkin!

[duckssayquack]

I have my interview tomorrow!!! 20th Feb.... eeeekkkkk

I have a really bad cold atm and i'm hoping it passes by tomorrow because I don't want to have to say "I have a cold so please excuse me if I spray you." Don't think that'll make the best impression.
