University of Lincoln A10L (Nottingham at Lincoln) Applicant thread 2024

Original post by Thumbsup786

Alhumdullilah just got an offer for A18L! No email, I just logged in to the UCAS hub (actually refreshed for the upteenth time!)
Guys if you’re still waiting, try logging into UCAS
Edit: Ucas email came thru 18.35

Congratulations! My daughter received an offer too this evening - UCAS.

If you haven’t heard yet, stay positive. Good luck to those who are still waiting.

Even if you have been unsuccessful, don’t give up. Study hard and get those A level grades you need because waiting lists can come good even on results day.

people who opted in for the waiting list- did your confirmation email say

‘ I can confirm that we have received your consent to be contacted by the University of Nottingham if you become eligible for an Interview for 2024 Entry.’

does ‘eligible for an interview’ mean we’ll have to do another interview ?

Yeah, I got the same confirmation email. I'm thinking they will do interviews again because the course is so competitive. But I'm not sure how they'd find the time for that.

Everyone on the waitlist won't get a place . Even if half the people don't take there place or miss grades . They simply can't give offer to everyone on the waitlist . Depending on how many people they have and how strong your application is ( I think they will interview few on the top of waitlist or depending on how close they were to a place and if someone has any places at other unis or not they will interview few not to extend of how extensive the initial interview was but short interviews .

Also , my advice or if I was in your shoes would rather go through clearing or take a GAP year . Reason being far too many people opted to be on waitlist for not even knowing if you have a place . With clearing you chose the uni and chances are you skip this interview process and guaranteed a place as they need to fill that space or take gap year and choose better uni options than settling for just for the sake of it with no glimpse of a hope

I think it depends if you firm or insure the other offer, then you won’t be eligible for this one

I disagree. If a student doesn’t have any offers, they have absolutely nothing to lose by going on the waiting list. They will know whether they have been successful by 29th June which is before results day. In fact, it could even be later than that. Someone on this/Nottingham thread said that last year, her daughter was wait-listed pre-interview, called for interview in around May and received an offer on results day and started September 2023.

BTW, traditionally most med schools don’t use Clearing and say so on their websites (because they have waiting lists). I understand that last year there were a few more than usual because of the number of students who didn’t make their predicted grades as a result of the return to pre-pandemic levels of difficulty.

So my message is keep trying everything guys, because you never know how things may pan out.

I completely disagree ! Most unis do have a few places available but they dont really have externally announce it . If you want more options than clearing would be better option than on waitlist as they won't offer places to all those on the waitlist . They already have given out offers to 100s of offers . This is my opinion but everyone to its own . I just wish you all can get offer . You know your stats better than anyone of us here depending on what you think you can get or can't get don't just rely on waitlist as you can already see as to how many people they put on waitlist so compete tution for few places to number of people on waitlist I mean you know the maths better than mine .

Best option would be do really well on your A levels and once you shave your grades apply next year with better prep for interviews and ucat as you have more time to prepare . You will have much better solid chance of getting to your firm choice uni as grades are in place and you will get unconditional offers . If you think you can't than by no means please do whatever you think is best for you . Wish you all the best of luck to everyone never give up . Keep going you will get there

I don’t really understand why you are discouraging people from going on a waiting list for a med school that they applied to! This is especially since given the timescales, if they are unsuccessful, they can also go through clearing as well?!

I’ll leave it there.

Good luck to you and everyone on here 🍀🍀🍀
