Medicine 2012...(hopeful entrants) !!

When I got an interview for clinical sciences at Bradford they didn't even send an email, just a letter. Also I'm sure on track they only record offers and rejections right?

Yeah November 4th. Though some clever people who put their scores in their application have already got interviews

Is there actually any point in checking Track.. because surely it will send you an email if anything changes??
Just trying to give myself a reason to not check it so much

So.... Who knows when UKCAT's get sent?.

Yeah, but two of my choices dont give interviews so I'd imagine they'd just decide to offer me place or not.. so any point checking track??

I haven't heard back from Soton or Sussex... Getting anxious!!

I don't check track even though Soton don't interview because whenever track changes you'll get an email saying that track has changed.

I doubt that will have had any bearing. If you write in your own score the unis have no guarantee that it is accurate, there is nothing stopping me writing 800 in my PS. The whole point of waiting for Pearson Vue to send them is to stop that.

People who have interviews already are most likely applying to unis who use the UKCAT in a different way.

St Andrew's give about 15-25% weighting to the UKCAT, can't quite remember the exact percentage, and have already given out interviews but only to those who included their scores in their application...?

True, but they could give you an interview assuming that it's true, and if the scores don't match up when they get the results, you'll be in trouble for lying on your application. Although it's very easy to lie about your UKCAT score, it shouldn't be any different in terms of punishment to lying about GCSEs or A levels. Kings have already given out several interviews and they use UKCAT quite significantly.

I was under the impression SOTON cut off the bottom 25% of applications using UKCAT, is that wrong??

Also, I didn't realise they didn't interview!! I kinda assumed that everywhere doing medicine uses interviews! It seems crazy that you wouldn't check out an applicants people-skills before giving them the go-ahead to be a doctor!!

Suppose it's one less thing to stress over though!!

But as far as I can tell, the only people who already have interviews from Kings are those with exceptionally high GCSEs so their UKCAT doesnt really matter, so I dont think even Kings havent started using it yet.

Yay, got acknowledgements from keele, Leicester and Liverpool. Just awaiting Lancaster now! The nerves are frayed and the waiting is killing me. Lol is anyone else stalking their email?

For how long?

I only remembered yesterday that I hadn't checked it all week

It's unlikely that we'll get any emails on Sunday isn't it?

Yeah, it's unlikely you'll get any e-mails outside of office hours (9-5, mon-fri)
