Hiya,

Just wondered if anyone had heard anything from birmingham yet. It's my last hope and I can't cope with the wait! Anyone know anything?

Hi jojo!

hiya,
yeah I had an interview in January but I haven't heard anything yet. Aaaagh!

I applied to Liverpool and Notts - no luck :(

Are you waiting on results too?

Don't stress too much! I didn't get an offer until march (2004) for southampton. They like to keep you waiting - makes you appreciate it more :)

Fingers crossed for you all!

Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd vent. I got a rejection from Birmingham - my last hope for this year. So I don't know what to do now. Do I put myself through this again or give up and accept that it was never meant to be. I have always wanted to be a doc but I've done everything I can and still haven't got in. I feel like if I try again I'll be making a fool of myself if this happens again but if I don't then am I just giving up at the first hurdle.

AAAAAAGH! It's too much. I'm going to the pub.

Hi jo - that's c**p! Don't give up - it's a complete lottery! It will all be worth it in the end. You just have to grit your teeth and go for it.... again :)

Seriously, it doesn't mean you weren't good enough, it just means you were unlucky!

Hi Jojo:
Don't give up! Prepare better, read a lot and go again. If you feel you've got what it takes to be a doctor then pursue it. One of the keys to success is preserverance!

Thanks guys! I do need some encouragement, and part of me knows you're right. But I just wish I had a crystal ball! If I knew I would get in in the end then I would carry on but I just don't want to be banging my head against a brick wall for years!

But I think I'm about 60:40 in favour of putting myself through it again. Oh joy, another personal statement to write ;)
