Southampton Medical School 2012 Applicants

Hey does anyone know anything about when offers/rejections are sent out for the BM4 programme? (not that I'm very optimisic with my awful ukcat score or anything...but it would be nice to be put out of my misery!! )

can some people test this and see if it works- I've never made a group before and can only see it as the person that made it, but I'm not sure if its open to everyone?... Thanks all
ps, is a page of excitement, all you offer holders do join, we can be excited together.
pps, all those still waiting, OFFERS WILL COME SOON

Lol yeah it was but I can't help but agree with him. How can a person screw up so badly and miss their offer conditions? I mean...they got an offer so obv they are academically sound. What happened post offer? Ah well

Edit: okay cool it with the negs lol I didn't mean any offense. I was just little taken aback that a person got an offer and managed to screw it up. But I guess it happens.

I called up in jan and they said their assessors are supposed to give in their decisions in by end of march so it could be anytime until then!! Suppose it depends which assessors group you're in and how busy/organised they are!

I wouldn't worry too much about ukcat, once you're past their cut off (about 580 I think this year?) they don't use it again AFAIK. Also the only bm4 rejections I've heard of are those below the cut off do they might have gone and rejected those below the cut off so you are probably safe with regards to ukcat!

Don't worry, you're UKCAT probably won't affect your application from here on out. I know someone who's applied for BM4 and received a rejection, but that was probably because of a lower than required UKCAT. If yours is over 2310 total you should be fine.

Ah thats a bit of good news then! I still may have some hope! Thanks guys!
Yeah I got a shameful 2486 altogether! lol!

haha you had an offer last year and missed the grades?!? hahaha what a prick

You can always rely on .eXe to bring a strong sense of douchebaggery to a thread.

It's not douchebaggery if one posts an edit to explain that there was no malicious intent in the original post. I couldve entirely edited the post but I didnt. I let the original remain and instead explained that I didnt mean any offense.

Yet you decided to bash me. Yeah, nicely done there.

You really enjoy being part of a mob dont you. oooo lookie here a post with a billion negs...i should really post my opinion on this...

I don't see how the inability to achieve the necessary grades directly translates to areyousure? being a prick. Please, do explain and entertain us.

Everyone -Let's draw a line under all of this now. What has been said has been said and from many points of view. It's not good to allow things to fester for ever and take pot shots at each other. Let's move on and discuss the chances of snow/an offer/outcome of the England Scotland match this afternoon.

I have a feeling that:

a) I won't get snow where I am

b) Southampton are gonna do more trolling and give offers exclusively on Sundays at 00:00 GMT to the first 17 people that log onto Track after this time.

c) Scotland v England will be a pretty low scoring affair

woo, 24 hours without checking this thread and there was so much drama! took me forever to catch up!

YAY for snow. I want a snow day off college. I think we deserve one after exams!

An offer would also be decent. One can only dream though eh

Unfortuantely for me, despite living in Canada where it's a land of ice and snow, I have NEVER had a snow day

But thankfully, I have my trusty polar bear with me at all times... so transportation is not so bad :P

Are you saying that even with 5ft of snow, you still have to go to school/college/work etc?

I guess that's fair enough. I assume since you are in a 'land of ice and snow', the anti-snow measures are slightly more adequate than ours (one man spreading salt/grit along the roads )

...yet another perk of travelling to the UK?

Edit: Also, having seen your interview timetable, are you making having to make 2 trips to get to your St. Andrews interview? That must be a bit annoying!

Love it! I've got a few relatives in Canada...they're always whining about the snow! You have no idea how much we crave for snow over here

I'd love to stay and chat, but I've got to do my 'snow' ritual, to try and make it snow this evening

Hahaha... I talk to my relatives and families back in South Korea and I'm the one complaining about the snow

At my Southampton interview:
Interviewer: Why Southampton?
Me: The weather is amazing... I love the weather right now!!
Interviewer: ... It's -4 right now! It's freezing!
Me: No it's not

And I proceeded to rant about the Canadian winter
