I'm not too sure, I really loved Oxford and Imperial too! Is King's yours?

Probably with sheffield/glasgow. :O
I am really indecisive.

Hey guys!

Does anyone know whether or not any rejection notifications have been sent out to people for the A100 without interview?

Last year was the last year before the tuition rise, so everyone who was "thinking" of studying medicine, particularly grads, applied. Simply because they didnt want to pay more if they had a change of heart..

Of course that meant more rejections, which means more experienced, pro in the admissions process reapplicants this year , but ofc not as much applicants as last year! :colone:

I would not say it's rubbish.
I mean A levels and Ukcat, maybe not great
but the predicted 1st is pretty amazing. I'm sure a predicted 1st will weigh quite a lot of the application!
I have good gcses and As-levels and A2 predictions, but only 633 for my UKCAT. Hence why I am so nervous...
But then my friend with extremely similar exam grades with a 650 ukcat has had her interview and got an offer, so maybe we're just unlucky - they might not have even seen our application yet!
preparing for the worst, hoping for the best! :s-smilie:
