UEA (Norwich Medical School) Applicants 2012

Same here. Does anyone know what this means in terms of where I am on their list? Is this a reserve list for when other candidates reject their offers? And if so what proportion of people get put on this list?

I'm afraid, i dont think any of us really know whats going on..

Got the letter too, no idea, It talks about 'intense competition' so I guess we must be sort of borderline but who knows. At least now I can stop checking track every hour now haha

Only an automated one saying how busy they are. Don't worry, I'm sure they've taken it on board. :smile:

On another note:

Officially firmed UEA! :biggrin:

I don't know if they're sending out confirmation emails, but fear not there is an ever growing list of people who are attending on someone's computer. Don't worry, even if you're name isn't on the list we won't turn you away!

im doing my very best :biggrin:

but don't you think this system of leaving us all hanging until the very end is a bit unfair? i have had to wait 8 weeks, and if i'm rejected i just wish they could of told me a lot earlier.. give me the time to process the information and and make adjustments for plan B. the worst part is the nervousness and anxiety! I have been agonising over this for ages! :P i just want an answer, but hopefully a real good one :wink:

Hi everyone,

Just jumping in (practically) at the end of the journey - I just got back from the post-offer open day and realised there were a bunch of questions I didn't ask :erm:

If anyone wants to be lovely and help out...?

- How do we get sorted into PBL groups - is it random/alphabetical? Also do you have a new PBL each year or each semester (I think someone said year...)?

- Might we be in the PBL groups we were in today (A-I, assuming the people you were with got a place in Sept)?

- I'm still confused after asking a number of medics about the whole PBL/Integrated thing. I can see the course is predominantly PBL but apparently you get an average of 25hrs contact time - which is in line with integrated, no? So which is it and why are these two pesky terms...pesky? :confused:

Thank you!

New PBL groups every year, I think I remember someone saying it was random as well but can't guarantee if I just made that up

The groups we were in today was random.

Sorry can't answer the rest.

I went today too, now only just remembering everything I wanted to ask but forgot to! :rofl:

1- I think the PBL group sorting is random, and it changes every year.
2- I don't think we'll be in the groups we were in today, as more offers are made than places so not all of those people will firm UEA, furthermore, not everyone made it to the open day.
3- Integrated - so you learn clinical skills at the same time as theory, but the teaching style is mainly PBL - like we did in those rooms today.

I hope that helps a bit...

Really looking forward to it now! :biggrin:

Thanks guys, much appreciated!

I'm not sure how many people showed up today but I think parents made up the majority, would have been nice to get a chance to meet everyone :smile:

Yay integrated! Roll on Sept!

Did they mention anything at the open day about what most postgrads when sorting out their accommodation?
