Adding on to what I listed there... really, the JPA interview is hardly as 'professional' as you would expect. I actually advise you NOT to use big words because the interviewer most likely would not understand them! And as long as you don't turn up in jeans or T-shirt it'd be fine, I didn't see a single person there in coat and tie. The topic given to my group to discuss was 'How to live a healthy lifestyle'.

Then again, I might not be the best person to give advice on that, having failed to secure the scholarship. Although I suspect that may have more to do with me having applied medicine, and also not having any co-curricular activities. laugh.gif

IMO most important thing is WHAT course you apply for... and what you appeal for. NEVER appeal for exactly the same thing that you applied for, it doesn't work.

Well, yes, obviously my group was targetting medicine. doh.gif

Means if you apply for, say, medicine UK, and you fail to receive, don't appeal for medicine UK. Appeal for something less popular.

LOL! Sorry about that.. but it's true that in my group I remember everyone was dressed kinda casually. Okay, so maybe that had something to do with a big portion of them being from NS, lol.

You guys had to speak on 2 topics, then? Eee.. better not to rely on advice from the past then... looks like many things changed.
