So I phoned up again today and they said if you have been successful then you will hear from us within the next 2-3 weeks..
And if you haven't heard anything by then. Ring up again, YAY!

"Successful" as in interview invites?

Oh really, I didn't know admissions people worked on weekends. I'm still waiting on an acknowledgement email from Manchester and two others.

I imagine they'll start handing out rejections to those who don't meet the entry requirements whenever, however UKCAT-dependant rejections or interviews will start once they have the UKCAT results, which should be in a couple of weeks time.

So the first interview batch will be issued very soon. Looks like they're pretty much just waiting for the UKCAT scores to come in.

It'll still be a couple of weeks before they start giving out interview invitations, they don't receive the UKCAT scores until early November IIRC.

Yup. Last year was 5th November, if I recall correctly. Should be similar this year.

maybe its just them being a bit nit picky? maybe get someone from your school to read it and see what they say?
ive applied to manchester, sheffield, newcastle and leicester. how about you?

Oooooh snap-ish! Manchester, Leicester, Durham and Cardiff. Hmm I'm not sure but I'm starting to get quite worried :frown:

I'd shown it to quite a few different people and no one mentioned anything about my gap year plans..ah well :s

Hmmm... I will now sit by the phone and await the same phonecall as I put only a line or two about my gap year whoopsie :tongue:

Aah so I'm not the only one lol..I really didn't think I would need more than a couple of lines on gap year plans. Anyways what do you have planned for this year? I don't know if you feel the same way but I'm starting to feel like I've forgotten everything I'd studied over the past two years and that if I don't start studying something soon I'm going to really fall behind, regardless of what I study next year..eek Are you feeling the same by any chance?

Same :/ Have you had an acknowledgement from them yet cause I still haven't :/ Not too much tbh. Going to start working in my little sisters nursery soon, I volunteer in A&E but might swap onto wards cause I'm completely useless and just sit there doing nothing for 3hours :tongue:

And omg yeah! I'm so glad someone else is feels exactly the same way! That was the one thing I was really worried about when I found out I was going to be having a gap year, that my brain would melt :tongue:

Don't worry, I've forgotten like everything too :biggrin:

It'll mean our brains are more "refreshed" for next year :wink:

and... Cardiff baby! :biggrin:

Manchester don't seem to be GCSE crazy. As long as minimum requirements are met and PS and everything else is great, we should still have a good chance. :smile:
