Yes, someone I know did. He reapplied and got four rejections again, so interviews really can't have been his thing.

It's my second time too. Got 2 interviews last year but rejected after both. I think I'm just bad at interviews!
Where have you applied this year?

Yayyyyyy! Well done!! Where was it from??
Hey guys!

I have received offers from Birmingham, Cardiff and King's College London. I attended an interview for Nottingham on 10th January and they said they will reply in March.

Now, King's has always been my first choice and so I will be firming it. Nottingham is my second choice so if was to get an offer from there, I would use it as an insurance. Now, I was thinking about withdrawing from Nottingham so I can use Cardiff as my insurance because all of these offers are AAA... However, my teachers told me that Nottingham has been more lenient in the past with grade requirements and so it would be advisable to wait until they get back to me before I reply to my offers.

I am declining Birmingham because it is an A*AA offer, so there would be no point using it as an insurance.

What do you guys think I should do?

Hey everyone, aside from interviews/offers/rejections, how is everyone doing on the revision side of things?

What kind of thing are people currently doing? And can any reapplicants who already have their grades offer any advice on how to secure the grades? Thank you, good luck to everybody :smile:

As a reapplicant the only advice I can impart is what you've heard already. That is to work as badly as you want your dream of becoming a doctor to come true

I think the key is to make sure you really understand everything and you aren't just memorising stuff because examiners throw all sorts at you! And if you work it out now, you've got plenty of time to sort out any problems. Also it's not about how much you do, it's about how efficient your revision is, so like there's no point spend hours rewriting notes if that doesn't help you learn, try and find what really works for you and do that! But I'm sure you'll be fine :smile: good luck with everything!
