Strong holistic-care and soft-skills emphasis. SJT used post-interview in offer making (B1 = 15 pts, B2 = 10, B3 = 5, B4 = nothing). St George's is also generous with deferred-entry offers, often made to borderline applicants in lieu of rejection.
Format: Multiple Mini Interviews (MMI)
A six-station MMI, each station around five minutes with a 60-second break between, delivered through SAMMI (Scalable Automated Multiple Mini Interviews) software. Each station is assessed separately by a different interviewer and may ask a question, set a practical task, or run a role play.
St George's, University of London was founded in 1733 and is based in London.

Wholly UCAT-based shortlisting once the entry criteria are met: applicants are ranked by total UCAT and interview places go to the highest scorers until filled. A minimum of 500/900 in each cognitive subsection applies. The cut-off is set each year against that cohort and City St George's says it cannot be predicted from previous years. SJT contributes post-interview to offer making (B1=15, B2=10, B3=5, B4=0).

Plan a tight answer structure - a one-line general response, two or three specific examples, then a summary - because 4-minute stations punish anyone who waffles. Speak at a steady pace; rushing to fill time hurts more than ending a few seconds early.
