The Feburary interviews seem to be for those who are reserves. I had 635 on my UKCAT and have a "reserve" interview. Anyone else in this position?

There's one other person in this thread like you. However, you have a decent chance now, it's between the Feb interviewees and the near-miss December interviewees for the final offers.

Congrats on your interview and good luck, when is it ?

That's what I was thinking, I thought it'd just be a few days (ie today and tomorrow).

Yeah, basically there are up to 60 of you Feb interviewees, and then I imagine you are competing with each other, and ( I imagine up to 60) of the December interviewees who are still waiting for a decision (ie myself :tongue:)!

Some of this is guesstimation as the people in my position haven't heard anything since our interviews so don't actually know whether we are near misses or offer holders or rejects etc but all signs seem to point to us being near misses!

As I said to the other person with a Feb interview, good luck...just don't beat me :wink: (I really REALLY want an offer :tongue:)!

I've already had my interview (in December) but I'm yet to hear back!

I've got an offer from Manchester (A* in my resit -_-) and a Liverpool interview. Really need an offer from Exeter/Liverpool as I probably won't get an A* in chem. You?

A* in his resit, he currently has A*AB from what I recall (with the B in chem) so he has to now improve that B to A* for his Manchester offer

Spot on! It's fair enough really as I knew it'd be that before I applied, I'd just really like a safer option if possible :smile:

It's cause I'm a resitter so fair enough really!! I really liked Liverpool too so if I get an offer from either liv or Exeter id be thrilled :smile: good luck to you as well
Just received an offer today at 5 o'clock, honestly thought it would be a rejection, the few of you that are still in the unknown there's definitely some hope

Actually they didn't, I presumed it's the internal UCAS deadline of March?

They'll aim for early march but interviews are the whole of feb not just the first half or anything. So yh, Early march at the very earliest if not longer
