Original post by SeventyEight

so after interview we have a 50% chance of getting an offer? i worked out that there's a 1 in 6 chance. how do you know?

I spoke to one of the first yrs at my interview and thats what she told me they had about 2500 applicants for 500 interviews and 250 offers!

Ignore my previous post, I must of misunderstood the admissions over the phone. There were 200 people on hold last year and 30 got offers, so that's a 1 in 7 chance. However I'm really confused as I emailed BSMS and they said I "interviewed very, very well". Well give me an offer !!

Hey I'm a graduate who's on hold too. There's still hope! It's just annoying that we'll need to wait even longer for a decision... Are you holding offers anywhere else?

Nope BSMS is my only hope :frown:

you?

I've had another 2 interviews but haven't had a reply yet. I phoned admissions too to ask about this hold list and was told that 15-20 people are on the hold list...where did you get 200 from? I was also told that if places become available then the assessors re-evaluate the applications to decide who will be offered a place. Doesn't seem like people have a specific position on the list.

wait no, that can't be right. BSMS ranks wait listed people based on their UKCAT.

It says so on their website so there is no re-evaluation of your application...you're just ranked based on ukcat and that's how they decide offers.

here is the exact quote:

We only use the UKCAT once you have been interviewed, either if you are on borderline with other candidates to being offered a place here, or if you are already on our waiting list and a space has become available.

Well he gave you wrong info, which isnt new by the way. Leeds has been doing it all year. Anyways for those on the hold list, you will be ranked on ukcat. Goodluck

Hi guys

Im on the Hold list too.. 15-20 people on the hold list seems a small number of people but 200 people in the hold list is also strange. If 500 interviews were given out it seems half did really well and got offers the other half (200 or so) also did really well but placed on hold list and so only about 50 people were rejected. That doesn't seem right. Anyway, Best of Luck everyone.

Admissions said to me there were 15-20 people on hold, and that all candidates who were on hold last year got a place, where has this 200 people on hold came from? Its a worrying figure :s-smilie:

Mine is 632.5... I have an email saying "a total of 200 people on hold for the entire cycle" that means for this year only right?

Reply 1217

Maybe admissions mean that there are CURRENTLY 15-20 people on hold? They sent me an email saying that, last year, they held 200 people over the 'entire cycle'...

What are the chances of people on hold getting an offer?
