Exeter medical school applicants 2015!

i think there are a few things that have gone wrong here:
- it doesn't seem like there is a UKCAT cut off this year as very relatively low UKCAT scores have been successful
- in terms of A Levels, i've noticed that the minumum seems to be A*A*A although some resitters who are predicted A*AA re getting interviews for some reason. that basically seems to say that those who sat their exams in two years are penalised if applying to this uni. makes no sense
- finally, predicted grades seem to be more important than achieved? someone predicted A*A*A is better than someone who has achieved A*AA. makes zero sense to me

anyone think that there are more interviews to be given out? this whole 'reserve interview' makes it seem like there aren't any left..

thoughts?

did someone not mention having rung admissions and they clarified that interviews would be given out until friday and a few would be given out for feb too although whether interviews in the new year are for home or international applicants was unclear?
Heres hoping, for sure!!

Confirmed place for medicine at Exeter - 2014 entry

A similar thread was posted for 2014 applicants and was very useful to me so I'll be happy to answer any questions about application or interviews!!

Here's the medicine connect/stalking Page, and the Exeter University page - you'll be able to see other applicants' grades and offers. If you enter your details it will be really helpful for other people applying.

Sorry guys I'm 100% certain on this one
criteria for selection for interview is as follows

first cut - predicted or achieved A level grades. So 3A* then 2A*A then 1A* A A
second cut if required - UKCAT

they do not read your personal statement even if you have an interview. PS would be read after interview if they have ties between candidates

they interview around 500 in total mostly during December.

I'm predicted A*A*A and my ukcat was 672.5 and I've got a reserve interview. They say its because your achidemic stats are lower so that's ukcat too. I guess they put them all on the same playing field and if your predicted OR achieved grades are lower than other applicants but your PS/references were good then they'll put you up for reserve. That's my understanding of it anyway as from what I can see everyone who's achieved or predicted 3A*'s has got a solid interview. They're giving out interviews till the end of this week so don't panic everyone if you've still not heard anything and good luck!

They certainly didn't make that clear on their website or when I phoned them up.
Not everyone has 200 odd pounds to fly and sleep at exeter just for the open day.
They should make this information accessible to everyone

If Exeter screw me over I will go ape ****

first cut - predicted or achieved A level grades. So 3A* then 2A*A then 1A* A A
second cut if required - UKCAT

I think you hit the nail on the head with this one - nicki
This si the only way I can see them use which actually makes sense for the interviews given out

In exactly 24 hours I'll have just started my interview I feel so unprepared, no idea what to expect!
