Hey dude, saw one of your posts from a while back, congratz on Soton!! Could I ask what your GCSE and A level grades were? Cause I'm applying to soton this year

Yeah ive been put on the waiting list which is a bit suckky but there's stilll hope yet i guess...
It wasnt really hard as such. I messed up because i was really really nervous and my nerves managed to get the better of me.
I think if you control your nerves and try to stay calm you should be absolutely fine. As for tips and suggestions..having done the interview there isnt really anything special id suggest...just the usual stuff..like knowing your PS really well, keeping upto date with medical news and perhaps drafting answers to typical medicine questions so you have a rough idea of what to say...ermm can't think of anything else really. I think if you do all of these things you're in with a pretty good chance.
Good luck and let me know how it goes!

heyy just read on one of the threads that you've got an interview for kings and i remember you were pretty worried about not getting that far earlier in the ucas cycle... so yeah just wanted to say well done and alsoo best of luck! x

Prep is going well. Had a mock interview and that was v.useful. It's great to re-create an interview scenario and get the adrenaline pumping (just to prepare!) Am getting much more nervous that have decided to get to Exeter the night before (I don't want to be dealing with traffic whilst being stressed about an interview!) Ethical questions should be ok if an easy-ish scenario pops up...fingers crossed!!! What A-levels are you taking then?

I'm working as a full-time HCA in a hospital amongst other things. 12.5hr shifts are fun (at times) and interesting but killer on your feet! How about you? What are you up to?

Are you staying at one of the places they recommended? (from the Exeter accom sheet that came with the interview pack) Thought it was nice of them to give us that. There seem to be more of us 9th Dec interviewees popping up...I wonder if we'll be able to recognise eachother...

I'll probably be the slightly hyper one, up to my neck in caffine :P

Oh right! Nah, I live in Leicester. The trains are a bit rubbishy in the morning and would require me waiting 6 hours in Bristol! (From about 11pm the night before to 5am!!!) I'm going to have an early drive in! (You'll know who I am then cos I'll smell of coffee!) 210 miles :S I'm dreading the drive as well as the interview! Are you from Exeter?

Yeah, the thread's really good! I'm nervous too :S *runs around in circles making odd noises* I think I shall try and organise some mocks for later on in the week (need some time to prepare) Did you have a job interview recently or smthg?

:O :O :O My interview's on the 9th at St Luke's Campus, Exeter!!! We might see/meet eachother! Though we might look a bit retarded asking people "Are you 50PH?" "Are you gapper31?" hmmm... what time is yours? Have to get there at 8:15am but my interview isn't until 12:15pm! Check out Iceman J's thread if you haven't already!

Ooer! Interview at PMS too?! When is it? Oh and how did the BSMS one go?
