Yup, their standard offer usually includes A*AB, but chemistry and biology must be at an A-grade (i.e. you can only get a B in the unspecified third subject).


Thank you :smile:

Does anyone know roughly how many applications bsms recieved this year and how many interviews/offers they give out?
I read that there were 2500 applicants and they interview 25% of candidates for 138 places :smile:

Where did u read this?
I heard it was 130 spaces this year from one of the students. I've always thought that, if you were given an offer of AAA, but achieved AAB say, and the B is in Chem or Bio BUT only 1-5 UMS... would they take pity or a straight rejection. It just seems so intense!

no pity...theres only 138 spots and BSMS is highly over subscribed. If you miss the minimum conditions, its over. Sorry mate but there are like 15 people applying to each spot, the schools dont have the luxury of giving everyone different requirements.

interview went ok, but was a bit worried afterwards because I'd heard that BSMS are really keen on finding out about your interpersonal skills etc but a lot of the questions they asked me were about science and research. am so pleased :biggrin: really hope you hear soon - feel like I've been constantly on tenterhooks for a month...!

Thanks. I feel the same about my interview, I was asked some science questions too and a lot of other questions! Was happy enough with how I answered most of them although you do begin to doubt yourself as time goes on.
