Exeter Medicine Applicants 2016 Entry

P.S²: Refer to P.S for your little comment about empathy. They university must have thought i was empathetic enough.

Don't count your chickens before your eggs hatch buddy - you haven't gotten an offer yet, only an interview. Tbh, if you acted half as insensitive or rude in your interview as you are on here, I'm sure the interviewers be able to pick it up and it won't reflect nicely on yourself. Empathy is a major part of being successful in medicine and you have demonstrated to us on here you lack it.

PS I was looking through your previous posts because I was genuinely thinking only a troll could be so rude. Turns out you're not a troll and have actually applied to medicine, but, you seemed worried that unis may be able to discover your true identity from reading TSR. Now, if that doesn't prove even you know your ability to empathise with others is poor and you come across badly, I don't know what does!

Good luck!

You are just being immature and arrogant by not accepting the fact that you have been rejected, simple as that.
There's no need to go off on a rant all the time about how you deserve a place and using the excuse that "my sister deserved a place" when we all know you are just crying about it because you've been rejected. The evidence was the e-mail.

You being unable to accept the fact you have been rejected and being arrogant shows great character doesn't it? Perfect for a doctor. You guys are acting all important, like your insignificant little rants will do anything. They won't.
Stop acting like you have some authority or are better than others because you were obviously rejected for a reason.

As if you are doing this to help you with the progress of your other applications, its easy to see you are showing your egotistic personality because you simply are annoyed that you were rejected as you think you are more deserving of an invite. How could sending an immature email help you in the progress of other applications?

I'm not sympathetic for you because you are being bitter about it. Yeah you can contact them and ask them what's going on, but constantly posting on here about how exeter have done you wrong and how you deserve a place is stupidly pointless.

Stop being a baby and suck it up.

P.S: Don't care for insignificant comments about me not showing good qualities of a doctor or character either.

@thatcooldude2.0
Insignificant rants won't help students. Simply stating your stats and that you weren't invited to an interview might but admission policies change every year.
Those people with not as good stats obviously got chosen for a reason.
Sure, you can use the petty excuse of people being picked out by chance (or "out of the hat" if that makes you feel better and doesn't diminish your ego.
Also your comment about it could be the only chance they have for medicine; yasamin has two other interviews.

P.S²: Refer to P.S for your little comment about empathy. They university must have thought i was empathetic enough.

Refer to P.S of my comment to yasamin where I mentioned not caring what you think about the qualities I have or need.

Also i have interviews* and I don't think one comment about arrogance is enough to justify your claim of me lacking empathy is it?

Nice of you to have nothing productive to do, so yo can take a venture down my posts.
Who are u to claim that you know what my motives are behind me not wanting anyone to know who I am? Even if your theory of me knowing I cannot empathise is true, i must be good at coming across as I can on my ps due to my interview offers.
Or Perhaps it was so the universities don't know my first choice.
Or Perhaps it was so unis won't know if I mentioned anything about my experience there.

Perhaps you should find something better to do with your time than complaining about not receiving an interview/backing people up who are being silly or scrolling through random people's posts to find unnecessary information about people you don't know/envy.

And I don't sympathise with arrogant people who are going off on rants like they're important.

And the other tanishqa girl, I wouldn't say wasting time looking at a few of my posts is research, I would say it's having nothing productive to do and being very childish.

Who needs YouTube or Netflix when you have the Exeter medicine 2016 applicants thread.


Ikr. But I really think it's time for us to stop this. We've done our bit and sent in our emails. They'll get back to us and we'll have an answer. Like I said earlier, we're not entitled to an offer but we're entitled to a rejection feedback. I really do hope it gets sorted for all of us.
As for you love me, congratulations on your interviews. No one is trying to hurt anyone here. What I said, was in jest. What you said earlier was a little insensitive because a rejection is not a small matter. I'm in the same position as you right now. I have two interviews (NOT boasting but letting you know that we're in the same boat) and Exeter is still considering my application as my predicted grades were sent a little late. I've not been rejected yet but I empathize with everyone who has been.
This is SO going to be my last post on this issue. Best of luck everyone!

The title of this thread should be named Exeter Medicine Applicant BEEF

The eight people that applied from my school were rejected at the exact same time for this course at this uni.

Lastly I just want to say that this isn't the first time Exeter has recruited for a medicine degree, they know what to look for and what they are doing and it's not really our job to second guess their professionalism.

That's racist to cows. :fuhrer:

Exeter don't look at your personal statement so I'm assuming you received an interview for being predicted 3A*s. They can only assess how you come across in your interview; you weren't selected for your shining personality pre-interview.

To also correct you on something else, it took me a few seconds to see the thread you started, and regardless of your motives behind asking if your identity can be found on here, it raises questions (as it did for myself) as to what you have to hide.

Most importantly, the only reason I replied to your first post is because you saw people receiving rejections (whilst knowing you had an interview) and your response was not to say 'that's a shame, I hope you hear better news elsewhere', it was 'why are all of you so bitter about your rejections?' 'Why are you being arrogant, assuming you deserve a place' (which btw, if you read most of the posts people aren't actually saying 'I should have received an interview', it was questioning why what Exeter had told us about their selection process differed from the reality). It comes off in very bad taste.

As the current med student just mentioned, it does come across as hypocritical and quite arrogant on your part. You don't know the interview selection process any better than we do. You having X more amount of A*s at GCSEs and predicted A2s does not necessarily make you a better applicant to become a doctor, and it definitely does not give you the right to tell people, who were just rejected, that they should stop being bitter.

Really, I think I've said enough to you and I doubt any of it will stick with you. Maybe think why so many people did not agree with what you said and how it made you come across, it's not for our benefit, it's for yours.

Exeter did read the personal statement, and even if they didn't my other universities do so my point stands.

My motives behind it are irrelevant and for u to come up with stupid assumptions is quite immature.

My comment was more targeted at a specific person and the people joining in with them. Nothing towards the people who were humble about their rejection.

I never mentioned my GCSEs or A-levels, it shows you did more than just look at my threads, you also looked at my posts. Originally, I never even mentioned having an interview. You are the one who started bringing my stats into this.

I also never used my stats to elevate me and put me on a higher status. I simply stated that certain people were being arrogant and bitter about their rejection. Which is true, trying to belittle others by saying they have better grades and are more deserving of a place isn't exactly humble is it?

I wasn't being arrogant either, I was just using appropriate evidence to counteract your claim of coming across as not being empathetic.

Please enlighten me to how it was for my benefit? And how it wasn't for the benefit of your ego by suggesting you guys should have had a place because of certain stats.
You have mentioned that me having better stats doesn't make me any more of a better medical student although you cannot justify getting a rejection because people with worse stats than you lot have been given an interview. You cannot say anything I have said is hypocritical at all.

Just to try and present a different perspective for people on this post, for those of your who are complaining about the lack of transparency in Exeter's selection strategy, do u have evidence to prove that other universities have completely stuck by their selection criteria also? Would it be fair to say some of your are making these claims about Exeter based on irrational emotions (which I totally understand where you are coming from) ?

If you consider the number of people who have commented about not getting an interview but actually have the stats, you only represent a very very very small % of the possible sample group therefore making your case quite insignificant. (And don't try and say I am not being empathetic, I am simply try to present a more logical perspective that any prospective science student should try to do)

Also just a bit of theory crafting here: I think I remember reading somewhere that in your rejection email Exeter mentioned about reading personal statement but not having scored them? Well how do u guys propose a PS can be scored, on what grounds can u put a value on someone's personal feelings? And the fact that they even mentioned about reading them might suggest that it was perhaps used to consider who they would ask for interviews?

Lastly I just want to say that this isn't the first time Exeter has recruited for a medicine degree, they know what to look for and what they are doing and it's not really our job to second guess their professionalism. The fact that some people are claiming any university offering a medicine degree could be considered their "safe" choice is frankly slightly delusional, medicine graduates from any university would have to be approved by the same governing board in the end to be eligible to practise so they are in principle all just as good at each other.

I know the last paragraph might seem a little targeted at certain individuals but that is only because most of the opinions/comments are coming from them, so it's nothing personal, it's simply because your voices are the only ones that can be replied to.
