Got an interview for Oxford :smile:

Congrats mate! Do us international proud :smile:

. With an insane BMAT like yours you have a awesome chance of being one of those 3 haha.

I'm pretty confused why I got rejected from Ox before even an interview. Another international who got an interview had a score of 73.5% and I have 73.2% so I guess I was just under the cutoff or something :frown:

Thanks man :smile:

It's a shame that you got rejected before interview with some crazy other stats like your SATs and your SAT subject scores, really bad luck I guess.. You got an interview for imperial though! Thats really awesome, good luck there (not that you'll need it), I'm sure you'll do well!

Haven't heard anything form imperial :frown:

those of you who got imperial interviews, were you guys in band 1? I think i'm probably in band 2 (although my section 2 and 3 are definitely band 1 :frown:

) so hopefully somewhere down the line i get one!

(Have Bristol + UCL interviews, but haven't heard from Imperial + Birmingham)
