Do you think I should assume a rejection if I haven't heard by now?

50 out of 110. :smile:

In that case, would an applicant who just met the cut-off score (which I'm sure no one is aware of yet) need practically full interview marks to get an offer :confused:

Only if the cut-off score is as low as 21!

The cut off for interview was 32/60 last year, 50 points from personal statement and 10 from ukcat.

Wow that does seem quite low :/ I'm assuming they must assess the UCAS form fairly strictly then :eek:

What's everybody wearing for the interviews? I was going to wear a suit but on the letter it says whatever you feel comfortable in and i don't want to be the only in a suit!!

I think I'm going to go quite formal, I think by comfortable they also mean comfortable and appropriate for an interview. In the letter it says "smart and not too casual". But if anyone who is already at HYMS could tell us what kind of thing to wear that would be great! :tongue:

Well, i think if you really can't then you won't be able to get an offer from them. An interview is always needed for an offer unless u reschedule to another date. The admissions are pre accommodating.

Suit for me - certainly not going to risk anything less than a suit, shirt and tie.

Is the first 50 just personal statement? Or does it also include academics? From what I remember from the open day they said it was 50 for the UCAS form so that would include academics I suppose...

If you meet the minimum academics then they access your PS/reference out of 50.
If you don't then they reject you.

You aren't scored on your academics, you just need to reach the minimum! :smile:

How many points were required last year for an offer?
Also, do you ever find out what you were scored?

If you go back through the thread it's already been mentioned. I believe, according to an applicant, you needed an overall of 71.5 points out of the 110 to get an offer. I am assuming if you get rejected post interview and ask for feedback they would tell you what your score was and what was needed for an offer :smile:

Having read through their interview structure , it seems like they don't actually ask anything about your personal statement, and that the whole interview is based on their 8 predefined questions. Is this true?

In which case it would be 8 questions that could potentially change your life, sounds almost like a gameshow :smile:
