We have not added City St George’s’s own description of what its interview assesses yet. MMI interviews generally test motivation for medicine, communication, ethical reasoning, teamwork and what you learnt from work experience; the questions below cover each.
Not scored
Interview places go by UCAT ranking; the statement is not part of it.
It counts at or after the interview. No band is rejected, but after the MMI the band is added to the applicant score: Band 1 adds 15, Band 2 10, Band 3 5, Band 4 nothing. For 2027 entry City St George's will consider the band in its decisions.
| SJT band | Points added to the applicant score after the MMI |
|---|---|
| Band 1 | 15 |
| Band 2 | 10 |
| Band 3 | 5 |
| Band 4 | 0 |
