Does anyone know approximately how many offers leeds gives post interview?


96 + 4 overseas :/ but they will give slightly more offers because some people won't meet the grades or choose a different choice.

Really :s I went to the open day in October and they said 96 + 4 overseas :s strange. Did you apply to Leeds too?
I wrote down 81 + 4 from the open day in June, maybe Octobers figures are more up-to-date

It would be nice if there were that many places, but I think there are only 81 :/
Yes i've applied :smile:


Hmmm :s I might ring up and check. Did you secure an interview? :smile:

My interview is 10.30. What time is yours?


I haven't really thought about the interview much, just trying to get January modules out of the way first. Yes I loved Leeds to, would love to go there, so I hope it goes well - but as long as I am studying Dentistry I'm happy to go anywhere!


Mine is at 9:50 :smile: maybe see you there! Yeh I really hope this all goes well :smile: but i'm waiting to get my modules out of the way first so I don't stop spending time on revision :smile:

I am the exact same as you! I have had an interview for Liverpool but won't hear until March and I never got invited for an interview for Bristol, so that is a unfortunately a rejection. I haven't heard from Birmingham...do you know if they are still interviewing?
