Exeter medical school applicants 2015!

Has anyone heard yet how many applicants Exeter have had this year?

Called admissions today and they said they have received approx 1500 applications, which is down on last year.

Anybody know when they start sending Interview offers??

Usually late Mid-late November UKCAT scores are being sent to unis all this week, then it'll probs take another weekish to collate scores and set an internal cutoff. Interviews start usually pretty early on in December so for sure it won't be more than 2-3 weeks till invites start coming

Sorry if this has already been asked but what is the interview format? Is it MMI or a formal one on one/group interview?

Any other graduate applicants or current grad students? :P

I cant find where it says how many places Exeter medical school has on the webiste

Not sure but TSR Competition Ratios give an idea...

Does anyone have a view on how Exeter treat applications for Medicine and Medical Science on the same UCAS form. Are they more likely to turn you down for Medicine if they can see that you would be just as happy to do Medical Science there....!!!!

No they don't care at all!! They specifically said on the open day that they do not care at all whatever else you've applied for! I'm probably gonna apply for history as my 5th choice, and that won't be a problem at all.

Besides, they can't see where else you've applied, the only way they could is if internally within the uni information is shared between departments.

Anyway; short answer: you have nothing to worry about, medical schools know that people need to have back up plans as getting into med school is Dayum tough

Thanks, i never made it to the open day. Any idea if they have set a cut off for the UKCAT. Apparently SGUL have (according to their discussion forum) and just wondering if any of the other med schools have.

I agree with Django. They know that you can't put a 5th medical choice and therefore view a non-medical option as normal. Yours will be seen by Exeter because it is also at Exeter however you have nothing to worry about: your option is medically relevant (perhaps suggesting that you would remain determined to get into medicine by an alternative route) and you show a deep commitment to Exeter so they know that you are 100% keen on the University/location. It will have no negative effect on your application...
