HYMS Medicine Applicants 2012

MAMDS1993

Rejected as well, applied from Sweden. Waiting for 3 more but this first rejection felt really bad :/

I'm sorry! Well I haven't heard and im going on a trip tomorrow..coming back on sunday so I'll definitely get the info on sunday..maybe its a sign for me to enjoy as much as I can before I can see a big fat REJECTED in my face! Oh well..I got rejected from king's btw for pharmacy..coz apparently they dont want backup pharmacy applicants no more!

Got my e-mail from HYMS yesterday 15:35 - but strangely enough, heard nothing from UCAS - and it's not on Track. Starting to think maybe I've been accidently invited to interview....

I have one on the same day too! How do you think they decide what days to interview us? Do we have the lowest scores :s-smilie:

It's done alphabetically with all the internationals on one day. So don't worry. I was practically the last person in HYMS to be interviewed and I'm here 3 yrs on, with no problems :smile:

So have other people with rejections taken up the offer of moving your application to another department at either of the uni's then.....because I put my application towards Biochem at york........

Interviews don't show up on UCAS Track. You'll only hear from UCAS when you get an offer or rejection.

AKA your interview is the real deal.

I had an interview at HYMS last year but then received a rejection. The overall score needed for an offer was 71.5 and i scored 70, so im really hoping for another interview this year!

I had my interview at hull and asked then if it had anything to do with where you would later be allocated and was told it didnt.
For all those worrying about the article it really isnt that bad, if anything it just relaxes you and eases you into the interview, i was told by another applicant that they dont score the answers you give to the article related questions, not 100% sure if thats true though!

Well done and good luck to those with interviews, its honestly not as bad as you're all expecting it to be!

So how many points is the interview worth? I've got an interview, which I'm thrilled about, but I hope I wasn't just above the cut-off! Alternatively, if my application scored quite well it could take a lot of the pressure off for the interview, but I'm not so optimistic :tongue:

Either way, I'm still gonna put all my effort in.

I guess I could've just found that on their website :tongue:

It's nice/nerve racking to know there are still a lot of points up for grabs....

Don't think of it as points. Think of it as you were better than another 1/2 people to get the interview... You've only got to be better than another one to get an offer. Do your prep and you'll be fine. Good luck.. :smile:

I don't think it is alphabetical because my initials are JP and my interview is on the 7/12 so the first interview day. Saying this I have no idea how the order is determined.
