Queens University Belfast Medicine Apps 2012 :D

Nt all hope is lost people - an e-mail i received from queens as a reply to an e-mail i sent:

Dear Mr XXXXXXX

We acknowledge receipt of your email and would advise that your statement that you are “currently XXXX on the waiting list” is incorrect as we are not currently operating a waiting list. Our email states that applicants may be reconsidered, “provided they have not held a firm or insurance offer with another Medical School through UCAS”; choosing the Biology degree at Queen’s as your Firm or Insurance choice would not rule you out of reconsideration in August.

We would advise that it is not possible to transfer into the Medical degree from any other degree course at Queen’s.




We hope this is helpful but if you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

As this email account is accessed by a number of people, if you wish to contact us again it would be helpful if you would REPLY to this email rather than creating a new message.

Yours sincerely
Admissions and Access Service

I got an offer this year but all I have had so far is UCAS track updates, does anyone know if or when I will receive a letter with my ranking?

Thankssss x

i don't have a clue.

As far as i know there are 262 places (correct me if im wrong please)

Offers have been made to 365 applicants.

People like me who are going to hope there are places in August need more than 103 applicants who were made offers to miss their grades or withdraw and study medicine elsewhere.

Also as there is no waiting list as such anyone most people who were rejected have the chance to be reassessed come august should any places become available. People who were rejected who cannot be reassessed would be those who did not meet the grade criteria and those who hold a medical course at another university as a firm or insurance offer.

For us who are hoping for reconsideration during august, the more people who were rejected and missed grades or hold another medical uni as firm or insurance offer the better as there is less competition during august.

Now i know there were places open in august last year but that doesnt necessarily mean there will be any this year. Admissions did state that they made more offers this year BUT that they do expect a few places to be open in August, but obviously if all the people who were made conditional offers meet their conditions and no-one withdraws then there will be no places. We won't know till results day

I have an offer and sent them an email enquiring about it, unfortunately this was their response

Dear Ms xxx
In reply to your recent email, I am writing to say with regret that it is University policy to provide feedback only to unsuccessful applicants. As you will appreciate, they require additional information and support and the purpose of providing the ranking is to allow them to assess their position, in terms of possible reconsideration in August.

Yours sincerely

Jennifer Dwyer (Mrs)
Head of Admissions

so I guess we´ll never know

Any news for international students?

Declined my offer, going to Leeds. I hope someone else on here gets my place good luck to everyone still waiting, especially those waiting for August.

Hi there, I'm an international too I haven't heard anything from Queen's either
