To attend interview or not?

if you can definately make the manchester offer then i wouldnt bother attending the other interviews...

but the other med schools might give lower IB offers.... you never know

For IB: Chemistry and Biology must be taken to Higher level and English and Maths to subsidary level unless offered at GSCE. 665 at Higher level & 555 at Sub

For A level: Normal entry requirements are grades AAA at A level with a grade B in a distinct AS level. Chemistry and Biology must be taken, at least one to A level and the other to AS level

Hmm... is it entry requirement that you're talking about? I would like to know about typical offers not entry requirements.

Can you not ask St George's if they'll do the interview via Video Conference??

You're not exactly inticing people to help you....you seem a little ungrateful with the help people are trying to give you.

I personally don't know whether the info the poster before has given you are typical offers, but the typical offers given by each uni usually end up being the same as their minimum entry requirements. Eg if a uni has minimum requirements of AAB at A level then when giving an offer, the conditions will usually also be on achievement of AAB. I may be wrong here (and if I am someone correct me) but I doubt very much they would ever ask for higher than their minimum requirement unless you are a resit student.

have you look on their prospectus? i think entry requirement is the same as typical offer o.O either way, i think it is better if you don't attend the interview, you already have offer from manchester, just work hard and get those grades

Okkk.... sorry about the misleading tone back then! I am grateful for his contributions. I guess you could use it as an indicator.... And thanks!

Hello guys. I'm in a bit of dilemma here.... I have a conditional offer from Manchester Medicine and interview offers from my other 3 universities for medicine (+1 conditional offer from UCL for biomedical science).

The thing I'm not sure about here is whether I should fly to UK (from HK, especially just 1 month before my real exams which I don't think I am even prepared for.....) just to attend 1 interview... The university is SGUL for Medicine.

I'm not sure if it's worth flying there because I know lots of people get interview offers given that they meet the conditions..... my UKCAT also isn't very high (550-60ish) so if I am a borderline I will most probably be rejected.

Thing is.. I have a feeling that I will get rejected because so many people apply there and if I fail to perform to my optimum level I'll probably be rejected...

But if I don't attend the interview, then I will be wasting a (but slim?) chance....

I need advice from you guys please! Also, what typical offers (give IB or A levels only please) do SGUL give?

Ask yourself if you had two offers from both Manchester and SGUL, regardless of grades, which once you would take.

If you would still go with Manc then it seems a bit excessive to spend £x on air travel etc., and waste possible exam preparation time, to try and get an offer you don't want.

If this is the case though, it might be an idea to withdraw your application from the other Uni's as well, so you don't have to worry about applying to interview emails and to give someone else the chance of getting that interview spot.

This man speaks the troof

Btw for those who are familiar about SGUL, do minimum entry requirements often resemble the conditional offer?
