Just did it after I sent my reply :smile:

I put about the same stuff as you said there. I saw it and was confused as to what it could be! I didn't do it when it was send and got a reminder email so I thought I'd better do it :colondollar:

Is it April we find out?

Think its the very end of April they start sending out emails and everyone should have a reply by/on the 1st May :smile:

Also applying for medicine (Bristol), I got 7A* 3A 1B at GCSE so fairly similar to yourself. Studying bio, chem, maths and french currently.

To be honest I don't think academic endeavor has a huge impact on the application, as long as you've achieved 5A*/As at GCSE as they ask for :smile:

I too panicked when I got that survey email :biggrin:

I'd also received an email about a week before that because apparently there had been a problem with my application I had to fix as well. I swear every time my email inbox pings I jump out of my skin!

Yep, I never realised just how competitive it is until after I applied so I am so sure I'm going to be rejected! I'll be really disappointed if I am but at this point I do not have high hopes haha

I've applied to psychology at Durham but I really don't think I'll get in because my gcse profile (3A* 5A 1B 1C) seems weak compared to other applicants :frown:

I'm taking biology, chemistry, psychology, and religious studies for a level.

Hey, can I ask you a question, if you don't mind.

I meet the majority of the guidelines they set for those who applied - but I go to one of the best sixth form colleges in the country...will that lessen my chance of getting in?
