SGUL Interview Questions

I had a panel of three males, they were all Drs, one of whom was a CVS lecturer.

The following questions are organised in sets of three, one set for each interviewer.
Note: most of the questions were follow-up questions depending on the answers I gave.

• Why do you want to do Medicine?
• Tell me about your work experience.
• Is there anything else you did at your work experience?
• How are you as a person?

o What are the positive aspects of Medicine?
o Wouldn’t you rather be a nurse/radiotherapist etc.?
o Why is research important?
o What recent research have you done?
o If you were given £20 million to spend on the NHS, what would you do?
o What would you spend the money on right now?

- How were you chosen as head student?
- Can you tell me about a difficult decision you had to make as head student, or any other difficult situation?
- How are you as a leader?
- What do you think of a team?
- Are you dependent? (Can people depend on you?)
- What would you do if someone didn’t agree with you?
- What qualities do you expect your G.P to have?
- What do you think about the treatment of people with self inflicted diseases eg. A smoker with lung cancer?

On the way to the interview room, one of the interviewers asked me about my journey – they do that to make you feel comfortable!

Good luck! =)
