Southampton BM6 2016

No interviews have gone out yet, don't worry. They usually run between Jan - April at some point. The Soton website suggests this will be March for this year's applicants which means people would hear towards the end of February.

Thanks.

When do we hear about rejections?

Is it strange that i haven't heard anything from soton yet?

That happens very last.



Have you at leas been asked to prove you are eligible?

is that when we got the sheet to fill in about whether we live in a poor area etc. or if we are the first person in the family to go to university? if so, yes.

Are you from Southampton originally and also have you taken two gap years and got in?

I live permanently in Southampton now but I moved from my home town about an hour away when I got in. Why?
I applied to medical school 2 years in a row. My 2nd application was when I found the BM6 course and got an offer. Are you worried about gap years?

Yes nd I thought that the bm6 might give priority to those from Southampton also, I wanted to apologise for before, you've been really helpful. I was stressed I'm really sorry

Have you applied to other medicine with foundation year unis, such as uea or kings?

Looks like interviews will be Thursday 3 March and Monday 7 March so don't expect to hear for another 5 weeks or so!

How do you know that?

Thank you for emailing the Faculty of Medicine; we generally receive a very high number of emails. We will respond to your enquiry as soon as possible but there may be a delay (particularly if your enquiry is complex). In the meantime you may find the information you require below. Please note that if your enquiry is answered using the information provided in this email, you will not receive an additional response.


APPLICATIONS FOR 2016 ENTRY

· If you have submitted an application you will be contacted in due course; this could be anytime up until the end of March. We would ask that you wait to hear from us rather than emailing/telephoning, in order for us to process applications as quickly as possible

· Invitations for selection days are usually sent about 2 weeks beforehand

· Decisions, including offers, may be made at any time up until the end of March

· If you haven’t heard from us then your application is still under consideration

· The date for submitting BM6 Eligibility Forms has now closed and we are unable to accept any late forms


SELECTION PROCESS

· Initially BM4 and BM5 applicants will be ranked by UKCAT score. Starting from the highest scorers and working down applicants are then screened to check they meet our academic requirements.

· Applicants who meet the academic requirements are invited on a rolling basis to attend a selection day. The selection day will include an interview and group task.

· Based on the last 2 years, applicants to BM5 who have been invited to selection day have scored from c2500 (total scores not including situational judgement). Applicants to BM4 who have been invited to selection day have scored from c2800.

· BM6 applicants will not be ranked by UKCAT, but selected BM6 applicants will also be required to take part in a selection day, to include the same activities as BM4 and BM5 candidates.


Please note: It is not possible for us to give any further information regarding whether an applicant’s UKCAT score might be high enough to get to the next stage.

Haha, people are doubting the mighty Beth? Don't think anyone knows more about BM6 than her.

I'm a current BM6 student, happy to answer any questions you might have. Waiting for interview invites/rejections is a nervy period but it's best to just focus on your A-Levels if you're currently studying, and go over your PS. Good luck!

What are your stats? Grades, work exp, ukcat, etc..

Thanks
