Yay! A friend.

What's your background/story? I graduated from my first degree way back in 2005 and have been a police officer since then, looking for a career change

I'm a nurse with two years post qual experience but looking for a new challenge

I'm applying to Soton BM4 too, now that the UKCAT plays an important part in the invitation to interview. Rumour has it they will now invite those with the highest UKCATs first and move backwards until interview slots are filled?

I got 640, 680, 800, 840 (740) Band 1. Reckon that's enough?

I m not sure if this new rule will apply to the BM4 course actually, definitely BM5 though :smile:

I will find out for you if you'd like?

So my latest intell. is: UKCAT minimum 2500, then UKCAT ranked and starting at the top, invited for interview. This will likely be a written task and group and individual interviews.

You will also now need a C at chemistry a A level (or AS bio&chem).

Even if you have chemistry as part of your degree? That'll piss me off!

They may be lenient with this, but it is something worth getting in touch with admissions about. I would hope it would be fine.

Will Southampton definitely be interviewing for 2014 BM4 entry then? I'm hoping to apply here too ukcat dependent of course. Good luck everyone!

By the looks of it yes. They are spending the summer detailing the plans so if all goes well they should be applying it to 2014 entry. The plans are currently as I have detailed above which includes 2 interview stages and a written task.

Strange that they've gone from not interviewing anyone to having an excessive interview process :tongue:
