How do I prepare for my interviews?

The most important thing to keep in mind whilst preparing for interviews is to research the university in question. Each university has different requirements when it comes to what they expect from the interview. Some prefer a more academic approach whilst others prefer to see personality. Buying books with example questions for interviews is also very useful, you’d be surprised how many actually come up on the day. Have a read through them then get a friend/family member to do a practise interview with you. I also attended a one on one interview session, which is really good as it takes you out of your comfort zone (as you don’t know the interviewer), preparing you for the actual day.

Ethical scenario (medical school interview question): You're a junior doctor working in A&E and are triaging a patient with a head injury. He doesn't want to see you as you're "not white", so can't be a "proper doctor". Discuss the issues raised.
