Anybody confirmed the interview format this year? Website was still saying MMI in-person presumably in early January as in previous years; welcome email from uni to the contrary saying to expect online interviews between November and March, presumably on a rolling basis, which seemed to be a rather different format than MMI in previous years.

I too have applied for 2023 entry and received confirmation email for my UCAS application. The mmi interview will be online they said, which is the same as what they did last year, although I did not get called for an interview last time. They did also say the interview are between November and March, but last year's interview were on 25th/26th/27th January. So I assume it will also be similar this time around. But we will wait and see :smile:

Did you fill in the supplementary questionnaire sent to everybody yeah?

Beyond that no chance, GAMSAT results won't have been officially communicated from ACER yet

Yes, they are out to candidates. However they also need to be officially communicated from ACER to the university, which is probably a separate process (and hence why there were ACER emails in October asking you to log in to your ACER account and tick the universities you want your results to be sent to).

I can't find a source for this but if I recall correctly, the results are communicated from ACER to the universities later this month. Presumably only after that can the university start the process of ranking folk, deciding the competitive cutoff (ie based on the number of interviews they want to offer compared to the spread of applicant GAMSAT scores) and so on.

To be honest though, we do have it a bit better than some undergrad applicants considering that some folk are getting interview invites on 2 weeks' notice whereas we already have been told a provisional date range that we can block out in the diary and start preparing for, over two months away.

Hopefully by the end of November they let us know about interview invites
