You know for the interview for the medicine at Newcastle? Apparently, a friend of a friend of mine was asked whether she was a virgin

 

[deyveed]

hahah Whats the purpose of that question?

 

[Bepps]

LOL thats ridiculous!!! If they ask me that i'll laugh.....

 

[Kittycat]

I know hey! I think they ask that to test your reaction in such situations. I mean like what happens when a patient try to get on to you (oh dear...bad image *shudder* now imaging a sick guy trying to get on to my friend *shudder*)
anyway, I think that was the purpose. Funny question though

 

[Kittycat]

Thinking about it, I don't really know what my reaction to that question will be (If I was been interviewed that is). I might have jsut looked stunned or something. I think that question was a good one (not to mention funny) to test the student.

 

[Lexicographer]

Are they still taking applications? I sent my form off months ago.

It'll be hilarious if they ask that though

 

[Kittycat]

Hey people, what will you answer be if you were asked that?

 

[Smurf133]

Yeah i would have to agree with Cyoph on that one if they don't don't give a decent reason then i would just say i perfer not to answer.......

Whats the worst they could do...

 

[hipsta_jess]

i think its to determine how you react to certain situations (ie, highly embarrassing ones) and how you answer

Yeah exactly, I mean, if she wanted to be a docter, she needed to be prepared for any situation right?

 

[elizabethy]

but this is disgusting!!!!! asking abt virginity.....jeez....

 

[Kittycat]

Oh well, they could ask worse questions than that....

my friend just finished first year med at newcastle, and over half of the year failed. about 80% were offerred re-sits, but the rest failed, and now have to repeat. So even if u blitz the interview and get in, the "testing" continues all through the course to cut out the bottom few.

 

[um..]

re: the virgin question
i made them put that one in
