Posted from TSR Mobile

Oh it's a conditional offer but still, thanks

May i ask what subjects you do.... what the offer is and what were your predicted grades....n also yh wat gcses did u have?

I do all 3 sciences and maths, predicted 2A*s and 2A. For GCSEs I got 9A*s 1A 1B and the offer is AAB. I didn't do that well in the interview though and stuttered a bit.

Nice.... then why didn't you apply to uk med schools..? Also do u hav any idea if i can get in without biology at A-Level... i do physics chemistry maths....also my gcses were 1A 4Bs 3Cs.... do i stand a chance?
Thanks.

I actually have a weird situation and moved school during sixth form so I didn't bother with UK med schools as I didn't think I would even get an interview... Your subjects are completely fine as they only require Chemistry and other 2 from Maths, Physics or Biology. For GCSEs their website says that you only need 6 subjects and C in Maths and English. I saw in previous threads that people got interviewed in late April and even people who got waitlisted got in in the end so I don't see why you don't stand a chance.

I mean like people like you apply with strings of A*s and As and i doubt they would even consider a person with 0A*s just an A and no biology

Not everyone gets an interview so that's already a good sign, I'm sure that they are satisfied with your academic qualifications which is why they offered you the interview and I believe the result is down to your interview performance.

Noo..... i don't have an interview! I'm still in Year 12 and will be applying to universities this september

Oh I thought you were an applicant for this year's entry.... Then I wish you luck with your exams, don't lose faith!!

Thanks a lot! So is it worth giving a shot? Good luck to u too!
