Birmingham Medical School Applicants 2014

They invite around 1150 people to interviews, and make around 750 offers, good luck!

Wow, 750 is a lot, I'm guessing it's because of the A*AA offer... Thanks for the reply

So after receiving a confirmation email for all universities except Birmingham, I emailed the admissions office and got this reply:

"Thank you for your enquiry.

Due to the high level of applications we do not send confirmation emails."

I thought some people on here had received confirmation emails??

Woop! Got my confirmation email from Birmingham this morning and just now received an invite for interview! Over the moon! Good luck everyone

Well done & congratulations! Good luck with your interview.

Did anyone get the course information email?

I know birmingham don't really look at personal statements.

I was confident when applying but after people I know and people on here have been told and I haven't I'm getting really worried

Me either and I have identical stats to someone above who has one :/ I'm worried about my A in GCSE English Lit now.

Seriously everyone get a grip !!! It's only October, the majority of Med Schools don't start giving out interviews until after they receive UKCAT results around the 4/5th November, Birmingham are one of the few who start early as they don't use UKCAT. You're in for a very long and stressful wait, Medicine application is notoriously gruelling and stressful, if you are panicking before the end of October because you haven't had an interview invite, then you really need to question whether Medicine is the right choice for you !! You can be waiting to hear anything (interview invite or rejection) right up to the beginning of April !! Even if you have an interview before Christmas the majority have to wait until the end of March for a decision and it's tough and extremely stressful. So stop being so silly and panicking because you haven't had an invite to interview by the 30th October !!!
