For anyone who has sat the GAMSAT before, would they be able to tell me if its alright to study for the GAMSAT using MCAT material?

Up Coming Week From Hell! Help?

Posted: 22 Feb 2013 08:45 AM PST

Hi,

Little bit about me - i'm a "mature" student (21) currently doing Access to med at stafford college. I have already had one interview at lancaster which was MMI. Next week I have Leicester interview on thursday the 28th at 8:45, now that being MMI I feel quite confident with it as Lancaster went pretty well... I think. Heres the catch yesterday I received an email from BSMS inviting me for interview on the wednesday at 13:00, they said the day will last 5 hours. So i've booked train tickets and hotels etc.. but i'm not going to get into leicester until 22:40, and I have only got the one suit for interview and its too late to get another, as i need them tailored as i'm quite broad shouldered i.e triangular haha, this is the case for formal shirts too as i only have the one which will go with the suit and it takes around 5-7 days to get one tailored... any suggestions how to resolve the shirt issue i dont want to walk into leicester interview and look like a bag of shit haha.... also has anyone else had a interview at bsms what is the panel like, are they friendly and welcoming? I just hope the long days traveling won't hinder my leicester interview my first choice :/
Thanks
David
