Got an offer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you soooo much sherbet



102 places now DoctorDeL'avenir let the fighting for the free places commence LOL

Maybe if the thread creator is on (laurenl i think) they could create an anonymous poll to see what everyone is doing

i.e. firm unconditional
firm conditional
insurance conditional
unconditional but going elsewhere
conditional but going elsewhere
withdraw to go elsewhere
rejected but hold firm/conditional with other med uni
rejected and hoping for reassesment

and anything else that i missed

i know that these dont take into account anyone who miss the grades in august, thanks

congratulation
btw What's the offer? Is that 3As?

Hope I can get it tomorrow

Yeah 3As - chem, bio, maths
Or A in chem, AB in bio and maths in any order, plus A in AS f.maths
But the offer depends on the subjects you do
Good luck
Are you from hk btw?

I don't want to sound negative but my friend last year went in for reassessment in August. There were only 7 places all of which went to people with 4 A-levels who got A*A*AA or higher. And the year before I believe 8 places where available to four a-level sitters. I hope this info is useful.

Thats not good news

I assumed that this year the reassessment will focus on interview scores as everyone who made interview satisified the entry requirements grade wise. People who didn't make it to interview probably won't be reassessed.

As mentioned in an earlier post by myself an e-mail i received from admissions in Queens said "we are not currently operating a waiting list. Our e-mail states that applicants may be reconsidered provided they have not held a firm or insurance offer with another medical school through ucas"
Would i be right in thinking that should any places come up in august do our interview rankings make any difference? Im confused with the no waiting list thing.

also the e-mail states further down that "choosing the biology degree at queens as your irm or insurance choice would not rule you out of reconsideration in August"
Do they just reconsider a select few who request reconsideration or do they automatically reconsider everyone who failed and dont hold an offer with another uni for medicine. Also once you firm biology if we were to get reconsidered and be made an offer from queens how easy is it to withdraw from biology. Also if you were made an offer for medicine in august is this done through ucas as well?

Thanks I hope I can get it today.
3A/AABa is not that hard tbh Is Queen's ur first choice?
Yes.i am from hk. U?
Congratulation again

Yeah I'm from HK too
If I get an offer from Bristol after the interview next week, I will probably firm Bristol but I'm thinking Belfast might be a nice place to study so..
Well hope you get your offer soon. Where else did you apply to? Are you currently studying in the UK?

Oh..nice to meet some HK guy here!
Did you do gcse/hkcee?
I think Bristol is better..(for hk people)
I am doing gce in uk I applied to leeds belfast Barts and Liverpool

I did HKCEE. What about you? I'm doing GCE in the UK as well! And I applied to Belfast, Bristol, KCL and Leicester but rejected by the last 2 :/
Did you apply to HKU or CUHK?

Hi!
I got an offer a couple of weeks ago and still haven't received an offer pack through the post. Or a personal email with details about my offer. Has anyone received one? I thought with medicine we usually had to fill in a form about our medical history and immunisations. Should I be doing this now? Thanks!

Nope I havent heard anything yet I think it gets sent in June/July

I did hkcee as well but it was "totally rubbish" lol
I got 2 rejections as well. I e-mailed belfast and they said I have to wait 2-3 weeks more
Yes but I do not think I can get in. I know ~7 successful applicants and they are crazy... IB predicted 45/45 with hkcee 28.. gce predicted 4 A* (no ums less than 98%...) gce predicted 7A*.. crazy
