Aberdeen Medicine 2017 Entry

I just called medical admissions at Aberdeen, and the woman said they aren't planning on sending offers until the middle of March? Someone else called and confirm loool (no: 01224 437923).

She said no offers out today, and end of March at the latest. Looks like another weeks wait?

Also, just called and confirmed - "some time over the next two weeks." When I asked about the twitter post that said they'd be out this week, they said that the team had just got back from Singapore and were hoping to get the offers out as soon as possible.

It is annoying, especially considering how they do the offers (collate scores on spreadsheet, order by number, make offers to top [number of offers that year]), and that (if accurate) they're going against what they said at the interviews and on twitter this week, and the fact that international offers have already gone out, but who knows what unexpected problems cropped up last minute?

All I can think is maybe they've decided it's a bad idea to specify a particular day, especially after this week when they said they'd be out but they haven't come, maybe they're just saying over the next two weeks but it will still come soon, they just don't want to specify like "it will be out next week", just in case something happens

Medicine is a controlled subject . They normally wait until number of funded places are confirmed by scottish funding council .

Looking at the other Scottish unis (and seeing they are quiet as well) tbis could be true. If so, however, they should just say this - would be much better than vague guesses. :biggrin:

Any idea when this will happen?

Should be any time now but that is what caused the delay last year. The universities are fined if they make more offers than the number of funded places that they get allocated. If you look at the scottish funding council web page once it's announced the numbers of funded places for medicine for each Scottish university is detailed there.

Very insightful

Hi everyone! Does anyone know if the work experience form that we handed in forms part of the interview score?

No, it is not scored. I believe that it's mainly for their records, just to provide themselves with an idea of the level of work experience applicants are applying with under their belts. Occasionally they also investigate people's work experience details to confirm that they have provided a truthful account of their work experience.

There are 79 k who have looked at it but I dont know how many people are actually active. Or maybe that statistic is how many times the thread has been opened because 79k seems a bit large.

79K "views" isn't the same as unique viewers.
