It might be that, I have no idea what was needed for this year to get to interview but since the academics was 60% pre interview, it was a big factor. Still though give them a ring and see if they have any more RUK to give out, hopefully they can enlighten you. :smile:

Happy new year guys :smile:, for those that have already had their Aberdeen interviews, could you tell me how many stations there were in the MMI? (I keep getting conflicting info on this) :colondollar:

Guys , when are going to start giving out the remaining interviews? I am a bit worried because someone told me that usually after Christmas the remaining applicants are "maybe or maybe not".

I read the uni"s we page and it stated an early interview or a late interview is not an indication to the strength of that said applicant.

Really confused.

Please help me out!!

I might be wrong but I think all the interviews have gone out. I have friends with interviews on 7th March and seeing as offers go out end of March, I'm fairly certain the 7th or not much later is the final deadline. I think maybe now it's a case of having the odd person come in to replace someone who did awfully at interview?

Spaces may also come up as people decline their interviews, for example if they have offers from other unis already.
UKCAT 725, nothing so far .. :redface:
To the people who haven't received interview offers yet:

Don't worry, I received mine around this time last year and there are people in my year I know who received theirs in early March - not sure if the system has changed for 2014. Keep your chin up :smile: if there are any questions you'd like to ask, I'd be happy to help (1st year at Aberdeen)

Got an interview next week. Any chance you could give me an idea of what I might be asked? I already had an interview with Glasgow, but I've never done an MMI before...
