Im sorry to hear that guys! I hope you do better with your other choices :hugs:. May I just ask if you got it via email or your track was updated?


Thanks :smile: Mine came through on tracking first then by email about half an hour later! Think it must have been down to my UKCAT score - 680.

No. They've started sending pre-interview rejections.

As far as I remember some Scottish people were invited with UKCAT lower than yours

Yeah thats what I thought, originally people were saying that post-interview rejections and offers are handed out at the end of March and someone disputed that saying they'd gotten their through and was wondering if they'd read it wrong or not

Thanks.It is definitely unfair how much the ukcat is used to asses an applicant but I guess they have to do it somehow.Hopefully the other uni's you have applied to will give you an interview-it only takes one!

Well I had an interview at belfast..so that's at least 1 out of the 4!
Hope they give me an offer! Can't expect much from aberdeen tho..
Good luck with your interview!
Sorry to those guys getting rejections today, at least that's the end of the waiting...

Best of luck to those coming to Aberdeen for interview tomorrow, hope you enjoy it :smile:

Regarding hotels for interview, don't worry too much about being near the medical school - the city centre is only a half hour walk away and it's a good opportunity to see a bit of Aberdeen itself! Avoid the travelodge on Bridge Street unless you particularly wish to be serenaded by a bloke playing the bagpipes though...

No, they said at my interview that offers wouldn't go out till after their last interview date.

It was more of a hope since if they were sending rejections (which they are) that they would also send offers since both are usually march.

Does anyone know how many people have applied this year and how many are interviewed?
Also how many places are available? :smile:

The rejections are pre-interview ones only at this stage.
Did anyone receive rejection? Cause my track hasn't updated and I have no other information than the letter of acknowledgement.

I wish they would send offers too, but my interview was Wednesday last week so in doubt they changed their mind between now and then :P But you never know with uni's they seem to change their minds all the time!

Nearly 3000 applicants, they are interviewing about 750 (maybe more), and at my interview they said they had about 20-30ish interviews left to give out. Good luck!

According to last years data:

2013 - 2301 applicants, 712 interviews, 331 offers, 168 started the course.

On the twitter page it says they've had over 2700 applicants this year, but I would think the number of interviews/offers etc will stay roughly the same.


You can find all the admissions data for last year at the bottom of this page http://www.abdn.ac.uk/smd/medicine/faqs.php#ad1
