That is exactly me (both bits); I post with nervousness about the wait and also get all jumpy when I see someone's posted... I don't know if it's normal to feel like this to such a massive extent. It sucks! :frown:

oh the tribulations of a med applicant :biggrin:

My life seems really trivial at the moment! Maybe I'm just a really sad person :redface:

On the flip side, I would be less of a saddo if I had a (positive) reply from somewhere? :colondollar:

"we aim to interview approximately 650 candidates and the interviews will take place between December 2011 and march 2012. Approximately 240 offers will be made for 130 places"

I held onto my piece of paper like I was Charlie and I'd found a golden ticket.

nah man, I don't have much going on either, just how it goes when you're waiting for important news. I'm trying to find things to do to distract myself

No, I think we are all feeling the same, and it's good we have this forum to see that we are not the only one in a state of panic and terror. I never realised how many emails I get each day !! But none today from UEA..... yet

I've been so idle today (bar TSR/UCAS/Hotmail) that I totally forgot to have/make lunch until two minutes ago! When were you interviewed? It seems so long ago for me :s-smilie:

TSR has been my main existence yesterday and today... I get so many spam emails too, it's unbelievable! Today I've had ones from people trying to sell my fake watches, two from clothing retailers, and one trying to sell my viagra. I'm female :O

I think valium or strong drink would be more useful at the moment! :biggrin:

Indeed!

Mine was 5th January, but I guess whenever the interview was, now that we know to expect offers/rejections, the agony is the same for us all. Maybe nothing will come out today...? or maybe everyone who got replies yesterday doesn't have Hotmail? And the rest of ours are lost, as has happened before?

I'd quite like to know

Only my Leicester one which was yesterday :rofl:

I suppose the January exams helped eat up alot of time, which was very considerate of them. :tongue:

I didn't find the Kings interview too bad :redface:

I'm guessing I got really lucky though!

UEA is still my top choice though, please don't hate on me for not just out-right accepting Kings before hearing from UEA :rofl:

If you don't mind me asking, howcome you prefer UEA to King's? Does this also mean that if you get UEA you'll reject/insurance King's?

And the results come out next week, which is only adding to the stress -- help!

Hey guys, just thought I'd join in on the angst fest! Had my interview too - the waiting is AGONY. Every time I get something in my junk mail I can actually feel the bile rising in my throat. :dong:

What's all this about people already getting offers? I thought everyone gets them on monday...?

If you look a few pages back there have been about three people with offers! They finished interviewing early as they'd done everyone by the end of last week (I think). Please do join in on the angst fest :biggrin:

I feel the same, with Inbox as well as Junk mail!!

Number of things, a couple that are financial - e.g. outreach schemes, some are just general preferences.

Of course I think Kings is amazing and and am really happy to have an offer from them though! As for which I'd firm, I don't know yet, we'll have to wait and see whether UEA even wants me first! :rofl:

Are you particularly shocked by my opinion? :colondollar:

(If I did get an offer, I'd probably withdraw from Leicester, not that I hold out much hope for them anyway...)
