the UNC Med interview offers should arrive today in the mail (goodluck everyone). i got mine...

very funny warning on the letter:
"you will be interviewed by a two-person panel consisted of a member of the academic staff of the Faculty of Health and a community representative. Please note, sometimes the interviewers are unable to agree on an assessment, in which case applicants are requested to undertake a second interview with a new panel immediately following the first. This possibility should be taken into account when making your travel arrangements."
:D

btw, does anyone know how long it takes to travel from Sydney to Newcastle by train? coz my interview is 11:30 in the morning :(

edit: btw, guys, the color of the UNC one is a very plain and ordinary white.

i checked... goddamn 2.5 hrs to Hamilton station... *grumbles*
now i gotta wake up at 5 in the morning... god i'm gonna look like a wreck that day...

edit: any ideas what to wear to this one? last time (at the UNSW interviews) i wore jeans and t-shirt, but i think this one might be a bit more formal/structured?

I too got one, this means number 3.

Haha Wen, I got 3 pm day after birthday (your formal). And I can drive there.

I think wearing a clean shirt and real pants should do it. Smart casual, so to speak.

yeah I was wondering what to wear also, thinking probably just a nice pair of pants and long sleeved shirt. 40 minutes sounds a bit long, what do you rekon they'll ask us?
Other than the standard " why do you want to do medicine?"

haha yeah. UNC actually refers to University of North Carolina.

not possible i checked. the trip between central and hamilton station is about 2.5 hours. then you gotta change trains to two stops to get to Warabrook (University) station. its a twenty minute walk from one end of the campus to the other.

so yeah, it looks like a 5am wakey for me... the monday following the end of the HSC... >.<

Take it in context. Nobody here cares about American Universities. :p Besides, stealing an acronym from the other hemisphere is better than keeping "UNCLE".

To Inasero: call, explain your situation, and pray that someone has cancelled their own interview.

the thing is, it would sound sorta iffy if i rang up and said "oh im sorry i cant attend because my formal is on the same day" you know what I mean? Even thought it is true it doesn't give a good impression...but looks like I don't have a choice....

but lemme think lets say i finish at 2:40 and get to hamilton station by taxi 3.30 at the latest (allowing generous time)

i could get changed in the city with half an hour spare for the formal which is at martin place, but then the latest train i could catch from broadmeadow would be the 3:13pm....which i highly doubt is going to happen..

damn if i don't get an alternative date im pretty stuffed~
