same to you :smile:
Received a rejection from Lancaster yesterday and already have a rejection from clinical sciences, really struggling to motivate myself to revise in light of this, can anyone offer me any advice. This is the reason they outlined for my rejection;

"Overall, your personal statement was deemed less competitive, in terms of demonstrating our non-academic entry requirements, than those of other applicants."

Could anyone also tell me that considering the Lancaster course is applied for through Liverpool does that mean the same admissions tutors look at the application for both Universities? Because if that's the case then I'm thinking Liverpool may reject me too and I really don't want this to turn into last year all over again! :frown:

Congratulations to both of you! There's a fair few pages that I don't really fancy trawling through so what were you grades like the first time round if you don't mind me asking?

Firstly, so sorry to hear your bad news. It's such a horrible feeling getting a rejection.

Interestingly, their reason for you being unsuccessful is EXACTLY the same as Liverpool gave for me last year. They do have different admissions tutors though, so it doesn't mean that you'll get a rejection from Liverpool.

I didn't really put a reflection in my PS last year about why I was having to resit- could that be what was missing?

I only wrote a few lines about the resitting business :frown:


I don't wanna get rejected

Hey thanks :smile:

It's good to hear that both schools have different admissions tutors so I'm still in with a chance (however small it may be)

I was meticulous with my personal statement this year, dedicated a whole paragraph to my need to resit and what I intend to do this year. I don't think my non-academic activities were that bad though, I've done a lot of performing arts work in addition to my voluntary/work work experience so I don't really know where I went wrong because they never really outlined anything specific they were looking for in non-academic requirements :cry::dontknow:

How is your application going this year? Heard any news yet? :smile:

Hey I'm so sorry to hear about Lancaster:frown: You can't give up! Imagine you get an offer but fail to get your resit grades, that would be devastating.

My grades are
Gcse-4a*6a 1c
As-B(physics) B(general studies) E(critical thinking)
A levels-AAB

I'm kind of confused. Don't you need biology and chemistry at least to AS to apply to medicine and I was told unis don't accept critical thinking except Liverpool and Lancaster at AS.

I think I've missed something, so sorry if this is an odd question.

Oh sorry my mistake, the AS grades I listed were just the extra AS's i dropped. My a levels are standard bio, maths, geography and chem which I'm doing this year :tongue:

Ah I see. Good luck with the exams soon!
I just got a rejection from lancaster too

'Overall, your personal statement was deemed less competitive, in terms of
demonstrating our
non-academic entry requirements, than those of other applicants.
'

2 + years of volunteering, 5 weeks of work experience, having a job and being part of a rugby club with a pretty packed gap year isn't the issue. They're basically saying 'we don't think you'd be a good doctor based on what our first impression is kthxbi' :frown:

Don't get down..its a bad place to be! Expecially if you have exams, just think no news is good news, so wait to hear from your other unis. Its Lancasters loss eh? You only need one offer to get into medical school so forget any rejections that you have!

GCSE's - 1A*, 7As (7 or 8.. i cant remember lol), 1B
AS - A (chem) A(bio) A(eng lit) A(h.e)
A - AAB
