I got the same email, got my boss to write a reference for me. So I suppose it means I need to get my uni supervisor to write one too.

It's not that odd ifyou think about it, until a few years ago, medical schools would get 2 references on the UCAS form so I guess Warwick just like to have 2 references.

The email states if you've been out of education for 5 years they want a reference from your most recent employer instead of an academic reference. I graduated in 2004, so I reckon I'll be alright.

Will ring them later on today just to get confirmation.

Yeah, I graduate this year so would need one from my uni :smile:

Have sent an email to them to see if there is a deadline for the references.

Spoke to the admissions lady and she said they require a hard copy of the reference, so I'll get mine sent off this week.

Seems strange considering that the reference was attached to my UCAS application, but not a big deal to get a copy from my referee and send it off.

got an email saying on average it is unlikely they would interview someone with a ukcat lower than 2660, so do u think it would silly to apply if you get just under that?

I got 2650, pretty gutted :s
Ive applied to Warwick anyway as love it so much, just have to keep my fingers crossed for a rather large miracle!! x

I've had another request - a breakdown of my course modules.

I've supplied this once before as I was unsure if my degree would be acceptable, though last I'd suplpied the list they said my degree is fine.

Fingers crossed the admissions tutors haven't changed their minds :s-smilie:

Am getting a little worried now. All I've had from the is the standard acknowledgement email.

I graduated 10 years ago with a 2i in Biochemistry, 712.5 in UKCAT and have worked in healthcare ever since. On nights now hence being awake at silly o'clock. However I am older than your average applicant so I'm wondering if they're just not interested. I may however be getting slightly paranoid!

I think you may be!

The acknowledgement email was all I would have had if I had done a degree in their list - it's only after sending my reference to them that they asked for more information.

If they need anything from you, they'll ask :smile:

Thanks for the reassurance! Feeling a little negative about the whole process.

Warwick have asked for an academic reference on letter headed paper from my tutor. Apparently the one from my line manager isn't enough :frown:

. My tutor seemed keen to help tho, which is nice - I hate asking for references. Expecting a big fat rejection when the UKCAT comes out, my score is likely to be borderline :s-smilie:

Yeah, if it's not been more than 5 years since you graduated they'll want an academic one.

Good luck with the application :smile:
