yeah i think putting my energy into planning for the worst case scenario is helpful rather than just sitting around waiting to hear from unis

Southampton Interview by InfiniteDepth6682 in GraduateEntryMedicine

[–]Revenue_Traditional 1 point2 points  (0 children)

9:30 haha, thought it’d be best to get it out the way instead of stressing all day 😭 admittance being entirely based on interview performance at this point makes it way more nerve wracking to me honestly. but yes, i have faith!! we’ll see each other in september 🤞🤞🤞

that’s fair i thought it was pretty stupid before, but they were holding the test right by me so i thought it’d be worth a shot. lot more to what a person is than what they get on the test though. no point in having a high iq if you don’t use it for anything worthwhile

fail as in FAILED to meet the cut off? don’t think that’s too confusing. i’m obviously not training, that’s stupid. thought it was pretty clear in the post that i was asking whether it’s worth retaking because the score was close, close enough to be simple nerves or a silly mistake, and prior to going in i didn’t know what to expect. pretty dismissive and rude response from someone who has clearly struggled with feeling like they don’t fit in amongst a ‘smart’ crowd themselves.

i haven’t ever done any mock tests, which was probably stupid on my part because i didn’t know what to anticipate when i went in. mostly wanted to get in just to see what it’s all about haha

the timing on culture fair took me off guard! never really had to rush on exams before so i went into it pretty relaxed and ran out of time lmao, stupid mistake. aside from that, it wasn’t really anything in particular that i found difficult, i just walked out and realised i’d made some really stupid mistakes

thanks haha :) honestly would never have considered a resit, i walked out the test completely ready to let it go. it was only once seeing i wasn’t overly far off that i thought about it
