also just a few quick questions for everyone here just to keep me occupied lol
when was your interview dates?
roughly how many students were at your interview?
I only ask because my interview was on march 19th and there was only about 15-20 students there give or take so i thought it was odd there were that few of us :smile:

Mine was for gateway only and if I’m doing the math correctly the upper bound maximum of people that should have been there is about 50 on that day and it did honestly look like it. Idk if I’m correct but I think there were four weeks of gateway interviews so 50 x 4 is about 200 ppl then there is ppl who appllied for both 5 year and gateway so that’s maybe about 230 ish in consideration. When given the statistics for last year on the day it was about 200 people who applied and around 70 people who got offers and 49 people who accepted and got onto the course

So per youe data 35% got offers last year and if we consider 230 approx candidates we will have around approx 80 offers this year ?

sounds about right to me! but remember the last gateway interview which was mine only had no more than 20, im guessing they dont like to interview much more than 200 applicants for gateway as its only about 36% offer rate

however, if we are wrong it could be a situation like 2019 where only about 120 people were interviewed and 80+ got offers (im pretty sure). for some reason applicants wildly fluctuates for gateway but have been generally more in recent years

guess its hard to speculate haha

I had mine on the 7th of dec for the normal 5 year but also counts for gateway . There was so so many students at mine I’d say definitely a good 50

I’m really enjoying seeing the statistics in this chat, it’s nice knowing as much information as possible. What was your result for the 5 year?

I would take no news as good news! Surrey gave out the bulk of their offers months ago and me still waiting thought it was a guaranteed rejection, but nope got an offer! So stay hopeful

wait lily did you guys already get the results for your interview?

So is the general consensus that after the interview there’s about a 1/3 chance of getting an offer for the gateway?

Do you mean the breakdown? If so no :/
All I’ve received is a rejection from the 5 year lol, which makes me feel like I’m less likely to get into the gateway

I went to the RVC Sutton trust summer school and they gave us 2022 statistics. I will attach the picture in this post hopefully it doesn’t disappear like it did last time

and for the 2023 cohort, i also remember that there was about 220 interviews and 70 offers with 45 to 50 places if memory serves

so the trend we should be expecting for this year is out of 200+ applicants, 70-80 offers in total (whether from a straight offer or from being on the hold list) and 45+ people will end up enrolled in sept. however this is just a speculation as it could be a much higher % for an offer like 2019 (66%) or it could be a lower % of offers if there were more interviews but im doubting they go much higher than 200 interviews due to the limited spaces

oh i just realised, 2022 had a similar amount of applicants as 2019, so the trend is very irregular- as 2021 and 2023 had much more applicants and interviews
