UCL Medicine Applicants 2012

I have a friend- he was rejected right after the BMAT results came out--- but it was odd, because we had the same grades, and his BMAT result was WAY higher than mine...he got 6.7, 7 and 3A I think. But he still got rejected, and I have an interview for this tuesday. So it just goes to show that they do look at you as a whole, so don't worry too much about it. I think for now, "no news is good news"

Did they give any reasons a to why he got rejected? Also was he a home or intl student?

he was a home student- he has AAAAB at AS, 6.5,6.2, 3A for BMAT- and I'm assuming he had a good PS and reference- they didn't really say much about why he got rejected- its quite odd he got interviews for cambridge, imperial and other unis, so... he was unsure why he was rejected

FML... If they're rejecting people with stats like that. I'm screwed

No...don't let that put you off- because see they may not have thought that his PS was great- they may not have liked him as a person- I had AAAA at AS but my BMAT score was pretty below average- but I still have an interview.... I think UCL doesn't just care about academics- they put so much emphasis on your attitude as a person...extra curricular stuff, references, motivation for medicine etc... so really, don't worry about it. If you haven't received an interview yet, then thats a good thing- means they are considering you....where as with my friend- they may just not like his non-academic stuff, and so decided to immediately reject him. Hope this helps....

Haha I really hope you're correct good luck for your interview! Is it soon?

thank you! yes... my interview's this tuesday... kind of nervous, but I've heard that the interview panel are really nice and friendly, so that should calm me down a bit

if you dont mind me asking- what are your academics?

he was a home student- he has AAAAB at AS, 6.5,6.2, 3A for BMAT- and I'm assuming he had a good PS and reference- they didn't really say much about why he got rejected- its quite odd he got interviews for cambridge, imperial and other unis, so... he was unsure why he was rejected

I'm assuming his B at AS wasn't in biology or chemistry then? That's very strange.

But are they international or home students?

Hi, I've got my interview on Tuesday aswell. What time is yours?

Hey, my interview is at 10:00. It'll be straight after the "talk" by the admissions tutor at 9:30. When's yours?

Wow. Exact same time, I guess they do multiple interviews at once. You nervous?

oh wow! yeh I suppose....I thought one panel did all the interviews ...YES! I am so nervous. I really like UCL, so I have to do well at interview. I've already had one interview, and that went TERRIBLE ... hopefully this will go better- plus I've heard that the UCL panel are really nice and friendly too should calm me down a bit. What about you?
