1 to 1 St George's (SGUL) medicine mock interview in the mmi circuit format, run by a current student or offer holder. Recording and written feedback, £69.
St George's (SGUL) Medicine Interview Format 2027
City St George's runs a remote MMI delivered through SAMMI-Select software: six pre-recorded questions of around five minutes each, marked independently, rather than a traditional in person station circuit. That format needs its own practice, because there is no interviewer to react to and no chance to recover in conversation. Applicants are ranked by UCAT to decide interview invitations, with home, graduate and overseas applicants ranked and capped separately, and cut-offs set each year by the number of interview places available. SJT banding is considered in decision making, and post-interview offers rank MMI and SJT scores together.
How St George's (SGUL) Selects for Interview
After academic minimum, UCAT is the primary ranking factor for interview shortlisting.
2026 entry cut-offs: home 1880/2700, international 1640/2700. The SJT is point-scored rather than an outright reject (Band 1 = 15 points, Band 2 = 10, Band 3 = 5, Band 4 = 0). MedicHut predicts around 1920/2700 home and 2040/2700 international going forward.

Common St George's (SGUL) Medicine Interview Mistakes
You freeze for a couple of seconds mid answer expecting the interviewer to nod you back on track. Why it happens: SAMMI-Select records six questions with no live prompts, so a pause that would be smoothed over in a real conversation just sits there on the recording.
You spot the practical problem in a scenario and start solving it straight away, missing the emotional cue the question was built around. Why it happens: there is no follow up question to redirect you, so one missed cue in a five minute recording cannot be recovered the way it could in a live interview.
You give a motivation answer that would suit any medical school and never mention training on an active hospital campus. Why it happens: candidates rehearse a general why medicine answer and forget City St George's community and hospital based setting needs its own specific line.
You keep talking past your strongest point because no one is there to cut in and move you on. Why it happens: each recorded answer runs to a fixed time with no interviewer managing pace, so candidates who are used to being redirected ramble on unchecked.
St George's (SGUL) Medicine Interview Questions
Describe a time you had to make a decision without much information. What did you do? Why it matters: with no interviewer to react to, SAMMI-Select scores clarity of structure over conversation, so a weak answer trails off without a clear ending.
What qualities do you think are essential in a good doctor, and which do you already have? Why it matters: pre-recorded questions reward a complete, self-contained answer, since there is no follow up to fill gaps.
Tell me about a piece of feedback you found hard to hear. Why it matters: this checks self awareness and how you handle criticism, and a strong answer shows genuine reflection rather than a rehearsed lesson.
How would you explain a complex idea to someone with no medical background? Why it matters: communication is scored purely on what is said to camera, so pacing and plain language matter more than usual.
