St. Andrews Medicine Applicants 2011 :D

To be honest I can't see that that is true, because most medicine applicants are probably likely to be very similar to each other in terms of academic ability. I think possibly people on TSR are more involved with the whole process as they are constantly checking up on other peoples offers etc but not that we are smarter lol.....although it would be nice to think so!!!

yeah... in the meantime people keep receiving offers (just saw another conditional offer on the stalking page). Do you think there will actually be any offers left by the end of march, if people keep receiving offers?

I think so too ... We'll just have almost another month to wait and see how many Hopefully, enough for all of us

Anyone on here have an interview today? I know a girl from my school that did, though I've not had a chance to speak to her yet

Do you happen to know what ukcat score she got?

I always laugh when I see your posts because every single one seems to ask about peoples UKCAT score. Have you been interviewed?

How did your interview go?

heheheh sorry. I'm very stressed about my ukcat score (especially when I see all those people with scores that go like 770+ ...). Yeah i had an interview on the 9th of feb... we actually talked about it (me complaining about my interview being average and all that...)

Yea I thought I talked to you, but wasn't sure when I saw you asking others about there UKCAT.
I don't know why you worrying because the UKCAT is only worth 15% of your overall score and considering you got one of the earlier interviews you have a higher than average UKCAT for St Andrews applicants who've received interviews.

Are the interview dates given out according to UKCAT score then?

Pretty much, that seems to be the trend. Though there will be people who don't fit the pattern probs because they had amazing academics in other areas.

Wouldn't be too sure on that bud, my UKCAT was 627.5, then my academics are probably one of the lowest applying. 4As 3Bs and 3Cs at GCSE, BCC at A level and a 2:1 in Biomedical Sciences (with 67% overall), so personally I don't think they base the interview order on academics and/or UKCAT score, although there does seem to be a trend in that order, but as I say, look at my credentials, surely can't be in that order.

oh ok i didn't know that! do you know what accommodation you are going to apply for if u get an offer? or is st andrews not ur first choice?

maybe yours fits differently because you're a graduate? All we can do is speculate, we'll probably never know how medical admissions truly work. I wish after the process they gave you a step by step guide of what they did, and how they made decisions on interviews, on what order they were given out, on decisions, unconditionals/conditionals etc.

Humm I really don't know about accommodation ... I like the old accommodation like sallies but I'm not a fan of sharing a room or being catered haha so I guess I would go self catered eg David Russell. How about you?
And yea St Andys is deffinitely my top choice and who about you?





That's what I was going to say, I think it's because your a grad. But who knows ... medical schools are so random haha

Yeah, the both of you may well be right about that. Yeah I think everybody would love a bit more clarity and the steps that are undertaken, etc., but however hard it is we're all just gonna have to wait, whether patiently or not. Come to think of it only (???!!!) four weeks until we would all hear from today.

I'm also thinking David Russell for the same reasons as you haha! I wish I had actually gone to see the accommodation though, then I'd be able to choose easier! And yep St Andrews is my first choice, but also my last one left to hear from so I have everything crossed for getting in here otherwise its another year out for me
