I am so sorry to hear that :frown:

I know how it feels, I've been rejected here in Finland far too many times. I hope this is your last rejection! Good luck!

Shake it off pal. Worst comes to worst, ace it in summer and prove your school wrong!!

Thanks guys. It'd be a bit silly to not expect at least 1 rejection anyway.

When will bristol send out first batch of interviews?

Posted from TSR Mobile

The first interview is on 16th Dec, and there is a target of minimum 4 weeks notice (i.e. to enable arrangement of travel/ time off college, etc.)

Also... to those worried about the timing of their interview in the year (i.e. whether being interviewed later in the year will detriment them)- don't worry! offers are given out throughout the year, but in batches (i.e. limited to a certain number of the interviewed candidates in each cohort)- therefore, offers going out early doesn't impact those being interviewed in a later cohort.

Best of luck

I got an email from track at 5:30pm. My school is a state school but doesn't cash in AS results. Unless my school changed their mind last minute, they said they'd predict me A*AAA with the A* in maths but problem was I got a B in AS chemistry so they were obviously a bit hesitant to predict me an A but they agreed in the end. My GCSE were mediocre- 6a*'s and 5a's.

hmm i have the exact same GCSE grades, and AABB at AS with a B in chemistry. But am predicted A*AA, A* being in Biology, i hold no hope whatsoever now. Anyway thanks! good luck with your other applications :smile:

Dont say that, you could still get in as Bristol isn't all academic. I've applied to St George's, Barts and KCL as I can't really leave London.

Is the academic section just GCSE?
I read something saying it was 12% GCSE and 8% A-level, but on their faq page is says they don't look at your AS grade except for your 4th subject? So how does that work? :no:

academically 8A* and 5As at GCSE, 4As AS and A*A*A prediction (chem bio french)
ps: weekly w/e on hospital ward, week at a GP, volunteer weekly at a childrens hospice, involved in music at school

not that surprised but as its the first uni i've heard from its abit disheartening :redface:

think maybe early rejection has something to do with the fact im applying for deferred entry which they told me they have limited places for :rolleyes:

Just been rejected for A100 by Bristol. I say just, but email notification update for UCAS track came through at 17:31. Only one word for it.... Poo. It's okay, I'm use to rejection, had 4 of them pre interview last year. This is my first one so far this year. I have 2Bs 4As 4A*s at GCSE, and 3As at A Level in Chem, Bio and History. Stupid UKCAT being bad for everyone. It's driven everyone to non UKCAT unis. So I blame all of you haha :wink:

Maybe I coulda gotten away with applying to sheffield with 642.5 average, seeing as they normally have a 650 cutoff. Now I'm gunna go cry for a while, haha

You're grades are amazing! Thats scary I know someone hoping to go into medicine with 2a*'s a's and 2 b's-how likely can she get a place at any medical school?
