I will not stop trying. I am a qualified nurse and will continue to apply, apply and apply until I get in. I will not let anyone take my dream job away from me just with 12 straight rejections, I have had over three times applying.

Thank you for the support :frown:

That's what they want.. they'll take notice if you keep trying. I know someone who applied 7 years in a row and were about to give up when they got it. It's harsh but once you get it it sounds like you'll make an amazing doctor :smile:

Also does that mean that no international offers have been released at all so far?

I'm a second year medic and I know plenty of people who have reapplied and got in. Also from being a PS helper I have realised that the only way to increase your chances of getting in next year is to be extremely critical of yourself to figure out what happened. It can only really be a few things

Uni choice -- Didn't meet basic criteria.
UKCAT - score not high enough to meet cut off
Personal statement - Doesn't show clear intent/reasoning/work experience/ extracurricular or could be possibly just average relative to the pool of applicants. I think the most important part of a personal statement is clear intent and also originality - the stories about relatives or childhood illnesses really dont come off that well but I think this doesn't apply in your case.

If you made it to interview more than >3/4 times then great - the previous things are all fine -- Something you did at interview caused concern such as again intent/qualities expected of a doctor... You are a qualified nurse so you should have all the professionalism/empathy and communication skills so I would definitely think about how you present yourself in other domains such as scientist + scholar and also work-life balance.

Hope this helps :smile:

Completely blanked at two stations and still managed to get an unconditional offer, I'm positive it's a miracle! I just wish it had of came sooner so I could of withdrawn from my other 3 medical schools before they gave me my offers! :biggrin:
