Same here. I think we’re still on the waiting list but they still offer us other courses

Heyy if anyone here has received an offer I’d really appreciate it if you could message me privately for a bit of help 🥹

(btw I can’t reply to PMs yet as I haven’t had this account for longer than three days yet but I will do soon 🥲)

This is all they said:
Unfortunately, at interview you did not perform as well as other applicants competing for a place in the Communication, Personal Qualities and Values area of the interview. For the Interpersonal Skills Group task you were assessed as Good.

I would like to thank you for considering the School of Clinical Dentistry and wish you well.

Kind regards

This year the School was oversubscribed again, receiving over 900 applications for the 71 places available. The initial screening resulted in approximately 320 applicants being invited for interview.
Applicants were assessed at interview and in the separate Interpersonal Skills Group task. In the Interpersonal Skills Group task applicants were scored on a scale of Poor, Satisfactory, Good and Excellent. In the interview applicants were assessed in the following three main areas:

· Career Exploration
· Motivation to Study at Higher Education Level at Sheffield
· Communication, Personal Qualities and Values

Unfortunately, at interview you did not perform as well as other applicants competing for a place in the Career Exploration area of the interview. For the Interpersonal Skills Group task you were assessed as Excellent.

absolutely gutted
Guys if we’re on the waiting list for Sheffield do you think they’ll update ucas soon with the rejection bc I don’t want to withdraw just in case but I also need all 5 to update on ucas to book accommodation

I withdrew mine because I needed to book accom as soon as possible also they said they’d remove us off the waiting list if we firmed a place elsewhere so I don’t think there’s use waiting if you hold an offer elsewhere
Those on the waiting list, did u guys get the ucas track update today too?

Did anyone who is on waiting list get another email from them this morning saying they can’t offer you a place on this course?
