Leeds Medical School Applicants 2012

Have graduates started getting interviews? I had applied to Leeds last year and didn't hear 'rejection' until end of January. Don't want to hear rejection again as it's my first choice.

I dont think anyone's heard yet

That's cool then. They score you under different sections and if your total score is above that cutoff score (think was 37 or 39 last year), they'll invite you to interview. I missed out by 7 I think! But the only thing I've changed this year is a better PS and a confirmed 2.1 degree, so hoping this will be enough...or they simply lower their cutoff score for this year

Does anyone know what the number of applicants was last UCAS cycle?

no idea about last UCAS cycle, but this year leeds has over 4000 applicants.

edit: for medicine

*nearly 4000 applicants.

Basically, Leeds have more applications this year than last.. so I'm guessing the cut-off to interview will be higher?

Not necessarily because it depends on the quality of the applications. It could be that this year they have more applicants because more people meet their minimum entry requirement, who will score not really high on the academics bit.
Of course its quite likely that the cut-off will be higher but we can't be certain. Lets just wait and see

well more applications doesn't necessarily mean better applications.

I doubt the cut offs will change, most schools have them set pretty ridiculously high anyways.

And I think (not 100%) but last year Leeds had 3600 apps, this year it's 200-300 more; which I don't think will affect the cut off.

Don't really know why you got negged mate.

Gave you a possy to counter the neggy

Lee please withdraw your app if you already have your first choice offer. That way you will slightly lower our competition lol. Congrats on the offer btw. Which school is it from?

So basically once santas been then some people will start getting their letters of interview invitation, i assume these will be in the post in januray if there's interviews in feb

Last year had about 3700 and the cutoff was 38/45.. I was one off the cut off
So hope I make it this year!
