BSMS Medical Applicants 2011

I almost did that, but I did question the admissions officers being inconsistent

If anyone is interested the interview cut-off this year is 25.5

I can't imagine what the response would be lol

How do they grade your application? I think i should know this :/

How'd you figure out your score, you drop them an email or call them?

just been rejected via track...

....

Unlucky and from my experience don't let it get you down for long if you have other options hopefully and if u got jan exams focus on those i hope you have better luck with the rest of your application

I just got my feedback from BSMS and apparently managed to score less than last year.

To put it into perspective, I had nothing last year when I applied, i.e. no W/E, lower predicted grades than I have achieved, lower UKCAT, less voluntary, and didn't work as an HCA.

Clearly taking a gap year has made Brighton think my application is worse somehow

I thus questioned their admissions system

That's where you need to email
Got my feedback today
Did better than average.
I reckon my non academic let me down.
My GCSE's are diabolical.

I got an interview in February however I'm in Cambodia for 9months because- its my gap year after Alevels. I can't fly back for an interview, I'm pretty bummed out tbh

However BSMS said they will put me at the top of their reserve list for late interviews. So that's gotta be a good thing right?

Btw, I got a terrible UKCAT (602) I'm so shocked they'd want to interview me!

What was your feedback, was it good feedback? Or some generic response?

The feedback was good
They gave me the scores i'd had of both assesors.
Explained why my application was considered a strong one.
e.g. the average A level applicant scores 21-22. Interview cut of was 25.5 and i scored more than average but less than 25.5 so was rejected.
They also told me what i could do for next year. But that was kind of what i was planning anyway.
They were really friendly in their email aswell.
So the feeback was good. And i'm almost certain it's my poor GCSE's that let me down.
But i did have to teach myself how to write again after i had a rugby accident when i was 13-14 which affected my GCSE's.
I get much better support at my college now I have left school and my academic achievement has soared because of it tbf. I think i'll have a much better chance as a re-applicant.

when did you find out and how like email/phone?

Email

Sorry you got rejected and hope you do better as a reapplicant if that is what you decide. The feedback is very interesting - did they say how they score the academics/GCSEs to arrive at a final figure? Desperate to know as I've still not heard a thing from them and hopes are fading fast by the day!
