Cardiff University Medicine Applicants 2017

I just got rejected I literally don't understand my interview went so well I think my ukcat let me down

I'm thinking same,
apparently after your interview, they only decide to give you an offer or not depending how you do in your interview ONLY ... ugh IDK tbh
call them up tomorow to see why they rejected you if you want

Oh I see, I honestly thought my interview couldn't have gone better, like I was well prepared etc 😭 I'm northern Irish so between flights and accommodation it cost me £200 out of my own pocket to go to that interview

AW don't worry, it cost me a lot to get to Cardiff as well but not as much as you though aha
try to move on, I really do hope you get into other med Unis, focus on getting the grades, can't give up now can we, worked too hard for this
Goodluck x

Rejection. absolutely gutted.
So it looks like nobody got an offer today?
How do we know if we are on a reserve list?

If reserve list you're sent an additional email from Cardiff asides from the track rejection

what did your rejection say then guys?

My daughter got the rejection as well on UCAS Track. This was the last option. So, all five universities rejected her with two post-interview and three pre-interview. Really sad situation. Now thinking about next steps, gap year etc.. but lots of tears first need to be shed. Anyone else in this situation or not willing to go to their offer and thinking about a gap year? My daughter is starting to think Medicine may be just not worth the agony of possibly getting again rejected everywhere next year. All her hard effort evaporated because of the interview and she thought she did well! Wondering what they were looking for. I hope she will find the strength the focus on her A-levels and get these amazing predicted grades.

Sorry to hear about all the rejections today. I would like to take this time to remind everyone who has been rejected that this does not in any way mean you are not cut out to be a doctor, nor not good enough for medical school. This process is tough, medical schools are picking applicants to give offers to from a cohort of very highly skilled and well rounded individuals, all of which deserve a place at medical school, its just sadly they cannot take everyone and hence performance at the interview is all they have to go on.
To anyone sat with 4 rejections now wondering what to do, know that this is normal and happens to nearly 60% of all medicine applicants each year. Its now time to ask yourself if you really think medicine is for you, not because you didn't get an offer, but because you need to decide whether you want to take a year out and reapply. If you cannot see yourself doing anything else then take a gap year and apply again. Take it from many of the people I study with today, a lot of them took gap years before applying to medicine because they got rejected first time around, and all of them said it was one of the best opportunities to grow as people and take some time to do the things you have always wanted to do. Medical school and being a doctor is a long career with very little time to yourself, maybe a gap year is a blessing in disguise so you can enjoy some time to yourself to do things you want to do before starting on this long journey. You may also find having been through the process once it will be easier to sit the UKCAT and apply to your strengths next time around.

I wish everyone the best of luck.

Do you reckon they will have a reserve list?
Maybe there's still some hope.
