Around results day time (long time away I know :P), the current first years will probably make an official MedSoc one for the 2012 freshers so keep an eye out for it.
Reading this thread I can't see anyone who had an interview in November or December who subsequently got an offer in March.

So apart from those who got an offer before Christmas did anyone interviewed early on get an offer?

It seems strange that all those posting that they received offers in March were interviewed from Jan onwards and no success stories from the 400 applicants who were interviewed pre Christmas who didn't get an offer at Christmas.

I was interviewed pre-xmas and didn't get an offer. The letter I received shortly after said not to worry since most people interviewed before xmas would get an offer.

Tell me about it! When I didn't receive any offers, I was like "I don't have any motivation, but if I do get any, I'll be so motivated!"......
BUT NO....my stupid brain has not been motivated enough, even with an offer from an amazing uni like Cardiff:frown: I keep saying to myself "i really need to do some revision" but I just can't :frown: Let's all motivate each other!!!!!


We should motivate each other I agree with you.. I don't know what happened to me but I have been studying so hard for 1 year and a half and now I feel so tired I guess and I can't motivate myself:angry: except last nigth around 1 am something happened and I was like I have got 2 weeks till my IB exams:eek::eek: I'm studying like crazy since last night I know I can do it.. I won't give up not now:frown::frown:

I have got the uni hospital as my desktop picture lol :biggrin: and I try to think about the horrible feeling I will have if I fail to get into medical school after all I have done still not enough motivation sometimes I just can't study and I know the reason I'm just so tired of all the stress I am experiencing this year but just 1 month of it is left so I have to do my best. I think its probably the same with many of you guys... remember how we were stressed a) to get interview invitations b) preparing for them c) waiting for an offer and now finally d) EXAMS.
God I want my summer vacation so bad :frown:

One of the safest in the country. I've walked through the city many times in the early hours of the morning after a night out and have never felt unsafe.

One more question guys:colondollar: which accommodation did you apply for? My first choice is Allensbank thinking that it would be near the medical school.. but some people say that the medical school is moved from the heath campus :s-smilie: I'm so confused.

We rarely use the heath in first year, we're in bio sci all the time. So it's probably best you look into getting moved or your going to have a really long walk everyday
