Haha, funny you should say that... got up this morning to find an email from Sheffield saying that they have received my application, and it has been forwarded for academic consideration. Although there is something odd - it says 'Choice number: 3' anyone got any idea what that means?


On your UCAS track, its on the 3rd row. Doesn't really matter, its not ranked by preference or anything. :smile:

I never got that email :frown:

I got one yesterday and mine says choice number 2 but on UCAS form everything is in alphabetical order so Sheffield appears last on my form. Odd

Just thought, it might be the fee code.

Cutoff for overseas applicants is a lower. ~ 670 last year if I'm not wrong. 717.5 for Home/EU students.

They're increasing the number of interview places this year, thus the predicted UKCAT cutoff drop. Because of this, admission statistics of previous years will be inaccurate for this years entry.

There was a table published somewhere but I left it at home... :facepalm: I can confirm that 7/10 people in my interview group received offers and the other 3 just disappeared somewhere... Haven't heard from them since the interview.

Don't quote me on this but I think in general it was 6/10 after interview last year and it was ~10 applicants per place.

that's awesome! you got an offer!

i'm so sorry for all these questions :colondollar: but do you know how many overseas applicants they interviewed or how many offers they gave out?

i just don't want to apply to a uni with a very low post-interview success rate. like Cambridge for example.
