Oh sweet - always nice to find EU peeps (I'm English though tbh) - yeah I'm quite a confident speaker and I've prepared quite well so I hope so. Last year I didn't make the best choices with regards to my application. Hopefully we'll be at the interview together soon haha ! Um well I don't know 100% - I'm a huge chelsea fan so London would be perfect. Where have you applied?


Cambridge (rejected post interview though), imperial interview on the 27th, barts (unknown) and dundee (did my interview and waiting).. last year did you have any interviews and where did u apply? (if u don't want to tell i understand).. and currently i would love to go to imperial but i would be thrilled with any 1 offer.. :biggrin: imagine i might get to actually meet you :tongue:

I just rang them up in regards to my application an they said they don't know when the next round of interviews will be , she took my ucas id , had a look on the computer and said were still giving out interviews but we don't know when ... Hmm I have a bad bad feeling for barts ...

Nope - I've written a few posts above. Gap Year, 762.5 UKCAT, EB has entry requirements but no tariff. I'm happy to wait for the moment!

It's the European Baccalaureate so I doubt it will help but basically 90% average with 92% in Bio and 93% in Chemistry (no uni asks for more than 85% in any of the 3). Because Barts assess me differently (just on UKCAT) so I reckon I'm going to be done at the end. They started with grads, done gap year students and moving onto Yr 13s now. I've seen the data from 2012 and someone from EB got in with a lower UKCAT score and since thats the only thing assessed for an interview, I'm just waiting patiently :smile: I did yep.

WHAT?!!! That's not low at all- I'm so confused!! :s-smilie: Why should gap year students be given harsher criteria, when they've already ACHIEVED THEIR GRADES and so are less of a gamble? It's easy to be predicted 4A*s, its a lot harder to actually achieve it under stressful exam conditions however! Surely we should get a more lenient criteria, it only makes sense?

I'm confused, ring them up and ask tomorrow!
Ah, I will probably get rejected tomorrow then if not today :frown: good luck with the rest of your application, let me know what they say if you do ring them up!


I think it's that you guys will be considered under the same criteria as other gap year students, and ranked accordingly?

It can't be like that... I saw the 2012 data (way above) and everyone was ranked in order (all 560 interviewed)
Ooooo right yeah that makes a lot more sense! Woops 😳 I was blinded by my anger haha
Still, gap year applicants shouldn't be differentiated from year 13... They should have same criteria
