Re: Durham Medical School Applicants 2012Thank you(Original post by Med_Geek)
oh my life congratulations!!
Damn! I'm scared now haha xD You must be the first person to receive an offer from Durham on TSR at least! So congrats on that too
It was my first interview (ever) and I genuinely thought I answered some questions terribly so I am very surprised/happy! Try not to worry, good things come to those who wait.

Re: Durham Medical School Applicants 2012That doesn't seem to be true, a class mate had an interview last week, and she got an offer today!(Original post by Med_Geek)

Re: Durham Medical School Applicants 2012This is very odd. Do you think it's to do with the order of the initials of surnames?(Original post by islanders)

According to last year, everyone started hearing back after the 15h March. -

Re: Durham Medical School Applicants 2012My surname begins with an M so it does seem to be quite random.(Original post by Panda89)

Straight to Track.(Original post by Med_Geek)
Do Durham send you an email first, or does it go straight to UCAS track?

Re: Durham Medical School Applicants 2012Can someone with an offer do me a massive favour? I called Helen last week and asked when I would hear back, she said end of march for myself personally as she asked my name, so I assumed it was done alphabetically, but if someone with a surname P has an offer it's obviously not!
So can someone with an offer possibly call Helen and ask how its done? So paranoid I'm getting rejected! -

Re: Durham Medical School Applicants 2012I'm getting myself into the same state too! She said I'd hear around the middle to the end of March so I wouldn't have to wait too long! I'm on edge now....(Original post by Daave92)

Re: Medicine at DurhamI'm confused;are you allowed to apply to both Durham and Newcastle at the same time??(Original post by Beska)
Medicine at Durham is taught in partnership with Newcastle. You graduate with a Newcastle degree.
For the first two years you are based at Queen's Campus Stockton. In the third year you come together with medics who have done their first two years at Newcastle and you are allocated into one of four different clinical base units which cover the north-east of England:
In fourth year, all medics study at Newcastle.
In fifth year, you are again allocated into one of the four clinical base units. You cannot be placed in the same base unit that you had in third year.
Basically you need to choose if you'd rather spend your first two pre-clinical years in Newcastle or Stockton.
Coz that's what I was planning to do,but different people are saying many different things! -

Re: Durham Medical School Applicants 2012I hope they do...I don't like it when they do it in batches, and then you know that if you get the UCAS track update it's a definite rejection(Original post by MusicNow)
Are they staggering the responses that much? If I recall correctly it appeared from last years thread that the majority were released within a few days of each other.
Had that with Leicester

Re: Durham Medical School Applicants 2012Same here, maybe they are ahead of schedule?(Original post by Panda89)
Well, at the start of my interview, one of the interviewers stated clearly that I'd hear from them at the end of March/beginning of April. Strange.
Good luck all.
