wait, so you never knew they will decide on who to give interviews based upon their Ukcat ? They've ony started from this year onwards though, hence it should be low. And yes, deciding based on the overall application is fairer. Dont worry , I'm sure it'll be ok !:smile:

One of my friends from last year got rejected due to their ukcat, but he emailed them straight away explaining all the work experience etc. that he had done (he had looooads) and they gave him an interview. It was probably a one off, but if you can show how passionate you are, maybe drop them an email? It's worth a punt! Good luck!

Well for a friend of mine who applied to cambridge his email came through at 8pm so it can be later than 5, but then again it is a different course and different uni. Also wanted to ask that if you got rejected will you get a email saying you have been rejected cause i would rather have that then wait.

The wait is killing me :frown:
