Ooh cool :smile: Did you get any helpful feed back from Bristol?


I emailed to ask them a week ago ( I know, a bit late ! ), but they haven't responded yet.

What feedback did you get ? :smile:

My application was sent to Bristol a week ago, do they send an acknowledgement email?
I didn't get an email either - maybe they don't start processing any applications until Oct 15th? :smile:

What's your academics if you don't mind me asking? Did you get any feedback with regards to your interview? I'm re-applicant and applying there. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Your A levels seem good enough, what were your AS results like? I dont know about their GCSE policy but you seem to have good results there. UKCAT is irrelevant. Sounds pretty good to me :smile:

Hey, could you please shed some light onto the type of questions they ask at Interview please ? :smile:

If you could list a few, that would be splendid ! :biggrin:


In my interview they were really nice! They asked the expected why medicine, why Bristol, asked about my work experiences, my time management, my hobbies and they mentioned that I had a good reference from my school. Also, five minutes before we went in we were given an 'ethical scenario' which we had to discuss at the end of the interview - just pros and cons, then make a decision about what we would do in that position.
Hope some of you do come to Bristol cause it's lovely! :biggrin:

I've got confirmation emails from ucas and all unis except bristol. I'm guessing they wait until the offical deadline on the 15th.

Heyy I'm applying to Bristol :smile:

I'm a high school graduate with around a 95% average with not a lot of hospital/volunteer work :frown: unfortunately
Reply 97
very nice :smile: Im Canadian too! Hmm, Im a university graduate with slightly lower average (94%), but my high school average was terrible (89%) :frown: Still not sure whether I should apply to Bristol or Leeds :s-smilie:

My ukcat isn't great but my PS is. Which school gives more consideration to the PS?

Application has finally been sent off yesterday! Dying to get a place at bristol. Really hope I get in. Good luck everyone!
All you Bristol applicants better have a cracking personal statement! They base selection on 20% grades and 80% personal statement. I wish you all luck, that stupid policy made me think twice about applying.
