I attended my interview on the 28th of January for A101 graduate entry and just received an email today at around 3pm to say that I had been offered a place to study at Leicester - so happy right now.



Yay! Are you going to be firming it?

We're getting quite a nice little TSR bunch with offers

I created a facebook page for GEM offer holders so we can get to know each other and stop clogging up this thread.

Yeah stay positive.

Its close to 2:1 interview to offer ratio so the odds are forever in your favour (sorry couldn't resist that but I will keep my fingers crossed that you're joining me in Sept!)


Haha! I would rep you for that but I think I have repped you too much as TSR won't let me lol.

Although this medicine application process does feel a bit like the hunger games at times.... except we are all much more polite :P

17th December, still waiting.

I think they are getting the graduates and international offers out the way first before deciding on undergarduate applicants.

Hey guys, would you all be kind enough to give me your details i.e. universities applied to, UKCAT and/ GAMSAT scores and degree and classification, so that I can add you to the Stalking thread: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/wiki/medicine_applicants_stalking_page_2014_entry#Leicester

It would be really useful for future candidates to see how other graduates do. If you don't want to that fine too :smile:
KCL Biomed BSc 2:1
UKCAT 737.5 Band 2

Leicester GEM - pre interview score 20/25, interview 27/01/14
Soton GEM - pending
Warwick - rejection 21/01/14
Manchester - interview 11/12/14, offer 29/01/14

Hope this helps :smile:

Bye bye Southampton BM4, Bye bye Leicester A100... Hello Leicester A101... Firmed


Now what do I do with myself for the next few months... all that spare time now I don't have to check my emails :s-smilie: :smile:


I've just realised who you are (you changed your picture which threw me off). Very pleased you have your offer - I had a good feeling about you from reading your posts on here :smile:.

Keep your fingers crossed for me please!

You're so nice! I hope I can join your facebook group soon!

The day the first graduates from Jan got offers was the day I was asked for a workplace reference. I'm just hoping it's just a matter of confirming my employment.

I've been sending emails and phoning people like crazy to make sure I get it sent by Monday. My manager doesn't work weekends usually and I'm on the night shift at the moment. When I forwarded their email to her she was like "I need more info than this, where do I send it, what do they want to know".

So I spoke to the admissions lady today (they were so nice, I was terrified I'd be told off for phoning them when they ask you not to) and she said "make sure she states you started September 2013 and you'll still be there in August 2014".

It struck me as a bit strange as I could understand it if this was my only year of full time employment as a HCSW, but I worked in a different HCSW role full time all of last year!

I just wish I'd added supplmentary information earlier as others did. I did an academic reference on UCAS because that was what they asked for if you graduated letter than 3 years ago I think.

Anyway, hopefully they're just confirming my year's employment and I will get an offer. Fingers crossed!

I agree with you. I would assume its just a case of ensuring you fulfil all their criteria so that they can offer you a place... I hope that's the case! I bet it's going to be a long wait until next week! Where are you working at the moment?

I'm a health care support worker at a medium secure mental health hospital. It's a great job and I really like it there.
Last year I was a support worker with hampshire autistic society which was in a residential setting and broadly different.

Thank you for good wishes! It's nice to have someone to calm me down when I start thinking too obsessively!

What about you? Was your interview the 28th or 27th? I'm not sure if we met?

I was 27th, am, group 1?

I've been doing agency nursing shifts as I've not long moved to the area. I've just secured one of my dream nursing jobs (its been a succesful couple of weeks!) but I hadn't stated at interview that I had applied for medicine. I'll tell them when my paperwork comes through as I hope to drop down to part time-1 shift a week (at least for the 1st term), I just hope they're ok with it!
