Band 2 internationals still get interviews. Have you considered getting your S3 remarked? Because even if it goes up by 0.5, you will be in Band 1

Well, I dont really see a point of doing it, because if 2 people thought it was 3A, then it's most likely 3A. Plus, I know it was a pretty sh*t essay when I came out, so I was super relieved with that 3A.

On one of the sections if your score is not too far above the cut off (but significantly above in the other two sections), and the rest of your application is strong, are your chances of getting an interview low because of that one section?

Hi, I answered the vet question in the BMAT because it looked easier. Do you think this will put me at a disadvantage? My BMAT score is 5.4,5.7,3A GCSEs : 7A* 3A AS : AAAAB and predicted A levels : A*A*A

If my Section 1 and 2 are way above the cut off for Band 1 but Section 3 falls into Band 2, am I given any special consideration :frown:

I doubt so but just wanted to double check :smile:

Even if you do fall into band 2, you'll still get an interview.. the real worry is when one section leaves you in band 3..

But in all honesty from what I read in the previous Imperial Medicine threads, the bands aren't as rigid as the absolute cut off. People in bands 2/3 were getting called in the first batch of interviews, so as long as you're past the cut off you still have a decent chance

I'm international as well with BMAT 5.1 6.3 4A - I know that probably puts me in the lowest band but still hopeful.. one my former seniors (who graduated from my school last year) only just met the bmat cut offs in section 1 and 2, and after her interview she got the rectors undergraduate scholarship to study medicine at imperial.

What are the chances these ECs and work experience will get me shortlisted for interview? (BMAT is 5.1 6.3 3.5A)

-1 week orthopaedic surgeon shadowing
-1 week Eye clinic work experience
-Few days GP shadowing
-1 year volunteering at local Respiratory ward in hospital
-Volunteering with School's reception class
-Part of Charity committee at school
-Organised school Fashion Show as part of a comittee

then for 'hobbies' I put:
-Tennis and Badminton
-Reading science books
-Independent research projects

my BMAT puts me in Band 3, so Im hoping ECs will be good enough for interview :s-smilie:
