Oh okay awesome, good luck- fingers crossed! :-)

Do you mind me asking what your UKCAT score is?

It seems like there's a fair few of us on the post interview waiting list. I've heard they give out offers ranked on UKCAT, so what was everyone's UKCAT who's on hold? Mine is 632.5 :/

I was talking about the post interview ( not post offer/per interview) hold list - which was supposed to only have15-20 on it?? I was thinking ths might have shunk further because people on it might have firmed other offers????

Sorry for the typo - per should have been per interview. Have you had an interview?

Sorry! That was a mistake on my behalf, I meant post interview too

O. Right! So how many do you think there are on the post interview list as you said 'a fair few?'

When I called them back in March they said normally 15-20 people.

Also, dont forget to quote me when you reply, otherwise I may not see your post.

Mine was 687.5 I think
I was led to believe BSMS did not use UKCAT very much, so if that is true it will be a surprise to me!

So any more offers?

Does anyone know if we have to get a dissection kit and a white coat?

I'm going to get a stethoscope - Littman Cardiology III - saves me having to get the Littman classic II and having to upgrade later.

Do we have to get anything else?

Yeah, they use it after interview to distinguish between applicants.

I'm assuming you have a Conditional offer?
I would apply in case you miss the conditions of your Firm offer. But you don't have to do it today! You have until the 8th of August!

What do you think the chances are that everyone on the post interview hold list will be given an offer?:

In recent years everyone who's been on post interview got an offer in the end. But this year they've had so many more applicants it's hard to tell. What was your UKCAT by the way?
