Why a mock Interview?

Students usually find the interview the most daunting part of the application process - understandably so! Students will be cross-examined by a panel of experts and there is pressure on the student to perform and give the best impression of themselves in just 15-30 minutes.

Several Ashbourne staff members are experienced in giving mock interviews and students can have as many of these as necessary. A real advantage to joining Ashbourne is the interview with Professor Foreman. This offers students a chance to receive feedback from a genuine expert who has many years of experience interviewing students for medical entrance.

All of our former medical candidates described the mock interview as invaluable for building confidence and picking up vital tips before the real thing

Ashbourne’s principal, Mike Kirby, and Director of Studies, John Wilson, are now members of the interview panel for Medicine at University College London. They can provide invaluable advice on the format of Medical School interviews, common questions and what kind of replies the best candidates give. Students should make use of this invaluable opportunity to gain an insight into the minds of the interviewers!
