Edinburgh Medical School Applicants 2013

Thanks oxymoronic.

I was looking at their website and I couldnt find anywhere anything about interview dates for graduates...I just want an idea, Could it be as early as November? or as late as March? Any previous applicants?

Hey

So I am an EB (European Bac.) applicant so I am a bit of a funny case, as we aren't super common :frown:

Does anyone know of anyone who took the Bac who got accepted to Edinburgh? And what grades, extra-curriculars they had? Just worried- nobody from my school applied to Edinburgh for medicine before :/

Hi Julie, there's one girl in my year who did the EB, but I don't know anything about her application. I'll see if I can find out for you, if not, rest assured that there are people with that qualification that have gotten in! :biggrin:

It was March last year. Don't expect any word from them for months.

For those interested: here are the UKCAT results

This might give us a better idea of what the quartiles will be like this year, as a lot of TSR members seem to be very high-achieving :tongue:

Do we just find out in March whether we have an offer or not seeing as they don't interview? And also with regards to the percentiles - I got 2480 which puts me between the 5th and 6th decile (20 points above 5th). Do I get 2 points or 3? I mean is the 5th decile 2460 up to 2530 or 2460 down the what the 4th decile is? Sorry for my ignorance :colondollar:

Hi lu1219,

I'm not sure where anymore, but somewhere on the Edinburg University website they said that applicants scoring highly in both the academic and non-academic areas will be informed from January onwards.

I have no idea about the percentiles. It depends on the score of the applicants so you can only ever guess :frown:

I got 2530 and was also wondering what percentile I'd be in. I think we both may be in the 2nd, 3rd if we are unlucky :confused:

Well, I found this information on the percentiles in the UKCAT: http://www.jobtestprep.co.uk/ukcatscores.aspx

It's not specific to Edinburgh (Edinburgh probably has higher scores from most applicants), and it's a few years old, but it might give you a rough idea of what quartile you fall into.

Regarding your first question, that is how it works. Edinburgh start sending out offers/rejections in waves around about March/just before it - although I can't remember accurately how it worked last year. I think rejections were sent out first.

Hey guys, keep in mind that the UKCAT scores published above are an average of all the tests taken across the UK and gives no information regarding the UKCAT scores of Edinburgh applicants specifically. I'd pay no attention to these deciles as they're completely irrelevant to Edinburgh who give points by quartiles and whose average is normally a bit higher than the nationwide average.

Hi Hype en Ecosse, just wondering, do you have any idea if Edinburgh give many offers to students from Northern Ireland for medicine? I've never heard of anyone from here getting an offer but I applied this year regardless.
