Congratulations to all of you guys!

Could anyone answer one question though? Does Glasgow send interviews ONLY by post? And if so... what happens if the letter gets lost? Don't they send emails as well?

Congrats

what was your UKCAT score? :rolleyes:

Thanks

2850 in total... 712.5 average.
I think they are selecting for interviews in UKCAT order; i.e taking the top 800 UKCAT scores and interviewing the highest scores first etc...

Good luck!

there are 2200-2500 applicants and only 800 interview offers. The applicant figure might change from year to year but the offers are 800 for sure.

There are 220 offers for home applicant and about 16 for internationals i think :biggrin:

Congrats on the interview ! Im a gap year student as well and got 2660 so is it safe to assume il get a letter soon ? Also can we say the cut off is around 2600 ? since it must be lower than 2630 !

Again well done and i hope everything works out well !

They dont have a set number of places i think but i could be wrong ... i asked the dean of admissions and they say we take more english and northern irish students than scottish

Scottish Universities give priority to Scottish students do they not?

No i dont think so .. look at cuhlowy .. shes from Northern Ireland and has an interview already .. if they preferred scottish students they would of given them interview offers first and also the way they choose applicants by giving interviews to the top 800 ... that list will contain a random amount of scottish and NI and English students .. but then again Unis can do what they want .. Didn't Edinburgh get investigated for discriminating english students and was fined or punished ?
