Did it once for sixth form entry,obviously its not the same, but i dont feel like i can truly be comfortable. Groups make me more nervous.

8 - 10 I believe.


Ahh that's a lot! I hope we get turns to speak rather than it being 8-10 to people trying to get their input in at once before the time runs out

I was just wondering; I've applied to the BM6 course and I've already got the grades (BBC) as I'm in a gap year however on my ucas I've put down that I'm doing re-sits do you think that'd affect my application??? All my hopes lie on Southampton now that Nottingham have rejected me :frown:

As long as your grades are fine before resits they don't consider them :smile:

Phew that's good to know. Thank you. So seeing as I've got the BBC does it not matter if I re-sit my exams?

Hi, I know the UKCAT is used to compare similar applicants,but is this done for when giving out interviews or when giving out offers? Or is it both?

That is my understanding yeah. I had the same situation and I was fine :smile: Might be worth calling to find out for 100% certainly as there is some strange resit rules being broken in the BM5 applicants

As far as I know it is offers. It forms part of the complete overview of the applicant.

I haven't heard anything yet. But apparently the interviews are given out 2 weeks before the date...so we should hear something soon (hopefully!)

ahhh what is this new 'group' interview thing about? is this MMR/mini stations in style of OSCE or just one big group being interviewed together?

Someone in BM5 has an interview even though they have GCSE resits that disqualify them :/

You'l have a panel interview (you and 2 interviewers) and a group task with other students.

Is this group task like a discussion?
