Invitations for interviews UG 2010

[Kes83]

some people are so bitter about the thoughts of others doing better than them. I have removed the parts of my posts ur all so offended by

Its nothing to do with being bitter - UEA have one of the fairest interview systems in my opinion and it relies heavily on not knowing the questions beforehand. I have no problem with people discussing the format but in my opinion you have given an unfair advantage and then tried to make out people who criticised that aren't supportive of their peers! Personally I don't think knowing the questions beforehand would help as you would sound over-rehearsed and they can spot that a mile away.

To be fair whilst i have my interview in two weeks and its interesting to know what kind of questions they ask, ive been preparing by thinking about my experiences of leaning new skills and topics anyway so its no surprise that thats the kind of question they ask. On a serious note, does anyone have any advice on driving to UEA. Taking the train will take me in a massive de-tour through london and so driving would be much more convenient but i'm worried about the parking situation :s??

I think parking on campus should be fine. If you get really stuck, you can park in the Sainsburys' Centre car park, though you may want to leave a note explaining you couldn't find anywhere else to park (it's just for visitors to the gallery). It's not far from the med school at all. You can ask the porter on the gate for advice about which car park to head to when you arrive. There's also a car park at the lake side which you get to from Bluebell Road, but that's a bit of a walk across the grass, perhaps not good if you're dressed smart...

If your interview's in the afternoon you should have no trouble parking. If you're coming into Norwich in the morning though make sure you allow at least half an hour to get from the outskirts of the city to the entrance of the UEA. It might not look far but the ring road gets really blocked in the morning. Even if you turn off the A11 a bit earlier and come into the city via the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, the road leading into the city there gets chocker-block and it can take ages to turn right into the campus.

If you want to come into Norwich by train then the 25 or 35 bus will take you straight from there to the UEA, but it does take a while. Norwich is not renowned for its easy access!

Good luck with travelling and the interview! I had my interview in December, the wait is absolute torture. The amount of time I spend each day mulling over questions I answered two months ago is truly shocking.

Such a good point. I will be careful not to make that mistake lol i'm joking. But yes to keep things 100% fair I guess we shouldn't really know any of the questions.

And yes, at the end of the day, we are all competing for places at medical school ... enjoy it!

Just out of interest bpr, how long after the interview did you have to wait to learn the outcome? I've been reading about some universities not getting back to you until March which sounds like a nightmare.
