Dundee Medical School Applicants 2015

Can any international applicant who received 'Previous study in the U.K.' email tell me what was it all about? Is there any other international applicant here who didn't get that email? Thanks and sorry for being a bit too anxious waiting.

My friend who is a Scottish school leaver has got a rejection from Dundee. Does that mean it is good news for all those who have not heard yet?

He got his post interview rejection on Thursday. He has got an offer from Aberdeen so he is not too fussed. But he thought his interview was great so he is definitely surprised.

Congrats on your offer. Have you heard of any other international student getting an offer yesterday or were you the only one? Thanks 😊

I know someone who had an offer but I also know someone else who is still waiting! Not to worry :smile:

It was an email telling us to fill in a form in evision to declare whether or not we had studied previously in the UK.maybe you want to check your junk folder/call them up to ask?

Unfortunately I have 3 rejections. My interview in Dundee was not bad at all so I am gutted not to hear from them.

I know several people who've also applied for Dundee medicine and no one's heard back yet - there's definitely still a chance I'd say

I have just checked this...
From information given at the Open Day:
1800 applicants for 134 places!
600 interviewed
However...later the number quoted was 147 places :confused:

AND 10.6:1 ratio given (which would mean more like 170 places? 64% Scots/EU; 28%ish RUK; <10%ish International) However, I think there may be fewer places...Does anyone have accurate figures? From an accurate source?
80 students intercalate (years 3 and 4)
7% drop-out
50% become GPs

Agree that around 300 offers given :smile:

I would agree with that however I'm sure that he said that the 10.6:1 was your chances of getting into any of your 4 choices? I could be wrong though

We've both written down, "50% chance of getting in somewhere"!!! (J Dowell) But I can remember thinking, " that can't be right!"

And there did seem to be a lot of different figures from different admissions staff on the day! So that's why I just listed from the notes that we both took :smile:

I think, to be honest, that they're only human and sometimes get it wrong... I attended the parents' talk, given by Lead of Admissions, at Edinburgh and was told that achieved grades DO NOT get extra points and my son, at applicants talk, was told ONE EXTRA POINT from the Head of School...turned out Admissions Lead was right: no extra point this year but they USED to give one extra point, until this entry.
Hopefully someone has more accurate info!
Also have in my notes 500 interviews and 50 Reach interviews...so there's another example! :confused:

All academic now...(pardon pun)
Good Luck to everyone!
