Can anyone help with these abstract patterns?

Awesome well done man! I hear Manchester's interviews are...interesting.

They're not so bad, I'd say less daunting than the traditional 30 minute job interview style grilling session.

You basically do a mock PBL discussion with about 8 other applicants to see how comfortable you are with the format. You'll get given a medical ethics issue to debate so they can assess how you do in a group. Nothing too intense as they're not looking for prior medical knowledge or anything.

After that you'll have three 5-minute interviews. One will be asking you to reflect on your experience of PBL, the other two will be on different parts of your UCAS application. They're very quick so you don't go into too much depth.

Two on same day? That's carnage, but I suppose you'll be in the zone by the second one!

Thanks chief - I look forward to comparing curriculum and discussing case notes with you later this year!

I'm so happy I've got a place, really am. I think Newcastle is still my preferred 1st choice, and the rest a joint 2nd. I should hear back from HYMS this or next week, and another month for Newcastle & Durham

Notts and Leicester interviews weren't bad really.

Excellent!

Amazing dude! I'm really happy for you. Newcastle's really nice isn't it, everyone who I know that applied there LOVED it.

You bossed it, very nicely. Congrats. Make sure you come to London for Fy1 (assuming I'm still there

)

Thanks bud, so glad we're both heading to our #1s. I look forward to our first yr1 north/south meetup!

Is your offer unconditional?

6 distinctions on my course. Predicted 6 high distinctions. Should be easily doable with studying over the next few months!

TheCenturion · 2 Mar 2012 at 19:47

Nice, looks like you're sorted then. I think I may be failing chemistry atm

Chem has picked up recently, I enjoy it the most but find it the hardest! Enthalpy at the moment, what are you on?

TheCenturion · 2 Mar 2012 at 19:51

We're doing coursework. We have to investigate the kinetics of a reaction for 4 weeks and produce a massive report on it.

I'm doing butanone and iodine.

Sounds fun, good luck with that! We haven't ventured to kinetics yet.

It's not fun, believe me

Are you still waiting for Durham to reply?

Chem seems to be amazing when you grasp it all (or at least the small corner in which you're trying to grasp). You can do it!

And yes, Durham to come. Decisions made on the 7th. I'm not expecting anything, really wasn't a fan of the interview
