St. Andrews Medicine Applicants 2011 :D

If you're a first year then you're guaranteed a place in student halls, as long as you apply before some deadline (not sure when, but it's ages away, maybe May?)

Damn, that's it just turned the 1st of March. By the end of this month all the waiting will be over......Some of us will get in but alas some won't! Here's my official:
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Has anyone heard anything regarding interviews today

Still waiting on aberdeen

No email I think I'm doomed. My hopes of studying in uk is down the drain T_T

You've been interviewed haven't you??
They don't make out the majority of there offers till mid march, not that long a wait!

actually i think the majority of them are given out at the end of the month. mid march is like the 15th-16th... they don't even finish interviewing everyone till then. And after they finish interviewing there will be another half of week (minimum) till they sort things out and start responding. Last year most people seem to have gotten their responses at the very end of the month (at least this is what i've seen on TSR)... Anyway the wait is longer than ever

do u know if the offers went out over a number of days or they were all done in one batch?

definitely not in one batch. Some of them got offers a bit earlier (i guess those on top of the list) and some got their responses on the 31st of march (i suppose the admissions had a hard time picking some of those on the borderline), but anyways it seemed to me that most of the offers were sent progressively in a few days...

Fun times ... looking forward to that wait :/

Ahhh ok, hopefully it will be earlier than last year! Do you have any offers for other universities?

no... but on the other hand my uni choices dont seem to be in a hurry sending out offer ... i guess its better than getting a quick rejection :P

definitely... i got rejected by aberdeen on xmas eve!....harsh!

They have no soul! I hope things will go better at St andrews for all of us...

As a change of topic, I've heard that people on TSR are actually pretty smart compared to the majority of applicants, meaning that most of the people on here tend to have higher UKCAT score than for example, and so on... Do you think thats true? And if yes does it mean we have a higher chance of getting an offer (supposing that the rest of the applicants are not as good)
