I'll be nice n give a generalised update.
BEFORE INTERVIEW:
I can understand u might be terrified, it was my 1st proper interview n i was nervous esp. when i saw, all the suited up interviewees lookin so tense n serious in the waiting area in the student bar! but then the St. George's people were so nice The students talked to us about uni life etc, answered our qs n then they made each of introduce ourselves n say e.g.fav. movies etc. Then they gave us a tour before the interview n put us @ ease. We all watched as one by one each one of us were called. There was noone who came out bursting out in tears-gud fing Some had different opinions about the interviewers. They will ask qs u're not expecting or try to make u think.
DURING INTERVIEW:
There were different interview groups n a board wiv lists of our names, i had 2 doctors and a medical student, one med student couldnt make it. The man came to get me n asked me about my trip there n then when we got the room, he introduced me to the others, lyk he sed he wud n i shook their hands.
I sat down on the opp side of them with a table between us. Remember to smile naturally n try to maintain eye contact, luk @ da person who asks u da q n glance over to the others while answering.
Advice is to know how to ans da interview qs in the interview pack sent to prepare u cos tis basically the type of qs thy'll ask u. Think positively, they want u dats why u gt interview. BE URSELF n DON'T LIE n if u dont know the ans, say so, u cn say i think it's...tho - even the students stress that. The qs are standard n they do av a list to ask but there will be follow on qs depending on ur wat u say. My interview went well nt perfect but tis practice for the next one i suppose
They asked e.g:
1)Why do u want to be a doctor?-OBVIOUSLY
2)Tell me wat research uve read lately in news etc? -
3) What do u do for extracurricular activities?
4)Have you had any work experience in hosp/GP setting?
5) Since we don't have your personal statement,what would be the most interesting thing on there?
6)Is there anything voluntary work (in community) you've done n what did you learn?
7) (found this hard to answer or put into words)Scenario:In talking about team, if you had a disagreement with someone you work with, wat would you do?
Then they asked me if i ad any qs n then while i left they had to fill in paperwork.
It helps to try not to be nervous, i know easier sed than done! If u feel nervous try to portray it as enthusiasm! Rem BE URSElF n think positive n u shud be fine n try not to overanalyse all ur ans afterwards. Oh yeh, read prospectus n know reasons why St. George's e.g. multi - disciplinary learning Gud luk! Have faith in urself n ull be fine.
