    Aha, I was thinking that too. But someone on here said they put that and got an interview. Don't know, we'll have to wait and see. Slowly losing hope for Notts though, if I am honest. But I'm happy with my position atm, as there are so many worse off than me.

    Congrats on your offers dude. I still remember the help on the UKCAT and Kaplan that you gave me
    Your in a great position nothing to worry about...

    and dont lose hope!

    thanks! and congrats on your offers too!

    haha, the dreaded UKCAT... the one thing i am glad that is over!
    the pain i had with that abstract reasoning section :O

    Has anyone had a rejection from Nottingham yet? This silence is awful.

    What were you asked in the interview?
    Half of it was pretty basic really, why nottingham, about the course, etc. then the other half was heavily based on my work experience and my understanding of the profession.

    I didn't get any ethics questions, and no questions asking me how I have shown a skill.

    Are you sure anyone has a rejection post interview? I thought they didn't do them until March.

    Yeah and plus got a Leicester interview coming up on Monday. That's my 1st choice so I have little reason to complain. The only thing bothering me is that if they do reject me, Beska said they gave him useless feedback. So I hope i get some useful for future reference.

    Thanks man And yeah the UKCAT was annoying. AR was my best section in practice and real exam. COMPLETELY pointless exam, is the UKCAT! I mean, if they are going to use an admission test that can potentially make or break and application, at least make it reliable :facepalm:

    Does anyone know if they sent out rejections (to people they didn't interview) all at once last year and if so when? I am so worried that not having heard anything that it's going to be another big fat "unsuccessful"which is a real shame because I fell in love with the place!

    Do I have a better chance getting into Notts as an international candidate or as home?

    Courses are very similar, I just prefer the city at Newcastle (mainly because I live in Nottingham, so all the super-brill freshers nights out that are meant to be exciting I have already done literally hundreds of times) and there are some better opportunities at Newcastle - specifically through having lots of SSC's and ability to intercalate (+ continue to a MSc and PhD). It's a very difficult choice between the two, and I still haven't really decided.
