A Conversation for Applying to University
Very old medical admission anecdote
Wand'rin star Started conversation Sep 25, 2001
I applied to uni to read English the year before UCAS started (and was accepted after interview on minimum entrance - natch!) My best friend applied to 23 medical schools and got several interviews at one of which the conversation went thus:
Prof X , not looking up from notes, "And what position do you play?"
Eileen: "I'm a girl dammit !"

Very good
I like the one where Prof X is reading a newspaper, and pays no attention to said interviewee... They both sit in silence, student trying to get some attention; with no avail.
Then the student gets really annoyed, whips out a lighter, and sets fire to the newspaper which Prof. X is reading.
You would have thought that the sutdent would have gotten nowhere, but he got an unconditional offer; simply because he had shown initiative...
Totally apocryphal of course 
There is another similarly apocryphal one about a medical viva... but that's for another thread
