Interviews!

Hehe, sure jintakarae
I'm coming from Leicester, it's about 3 and half hours drive my dad said so I will definitely be coming a day early and staying at a hotel.

Aha, Nottingham here.

Im practicing on how to answer the ethical questions, writing up good answers for the obvious question if they pop up and reading about the latest medical news... I don't know what else to do :-S

I'd say those are the best ways to prepare for the PMS interview - also it might be a good idea to make sure you know your UCAS personal statement pretty well as a lot of the "why do you want to" and "what would make you a good" etc. questions should be answered by stuff in that.


Really just try and be yourself, be relaxed, just explain who you are and why you want to do medicine.

Hey Arj im also on a gap year, so in exactly the same position. Im coming from the midlands (droitwich to be precise...its near worcester if youve heard of that lol). Pretty aprehensive about my first interview, just hoping it goes well. Im being bad to the environment and driving down there but hope to see you both there at some point. Good luck!

Hey, anyone else got an interview on the 8th??
It's a bit of a trek for me too as I'm from Leicester so gotta find a hotel etc lol.
didn't know we'd have to dig out all our old certificates either :S

I'm not too sure about grad interview but I guess it makes sense having all the undergrad interviews in one period and the grad interviews at others. At some other unis they do grads first then undergrads, and vice versa.

Don't think so, at my HYMS interview day it was all mixed

fml, my manc interview is two days away and i have the flu, so im gonna have to do it looking and feeling like AIDS

Ah my interview is at 10.30 and my campus tour is at 12.15. I wonder what the pre-interview process is? Im going to go down the day before and stay in a hotel because i live about 3 hours away and cant be bothered to get up that early lol.

hey!! thats when my campus tour is, my interview's at 11:00..
kind of nervous, im glad to get an interview but it seems so soon for some reason! about time i really get started with some serious preparation!!
im a gap year student as well so i have no excuses.. :S

lol, a lot of peeps from Leicester here. me too! would be cool if we all got in haha. good luck with your interviews.

btw: just wondering what PMS sends with their interview offers. do they send a whole information pack etc? or is it just a letter? cheers

hi remus, they send out a couple of things with the letter including a crb form, health screening form and declaration form; all of which need to be completed.
they also send a form asking for photographic evidence - you only need to fill that in if you are unable to take any form of identity with you.

Hi guys.

I'm a student guide at Exeter on the 14th so if anyone is getting interviewed that day then maybe I'll see you and get to show you around.

Good luck!
