Nottingham GEM (A101) Applicants 2015

Original post by M150

I have the same conditions and finished mine in 2012. Glad it's not just me.

Ah good.

So we're in more or less the same boat. I'll probably get down to making a spreadsheet of pros and cons for Swansea and Notts :smile:

I remember visiting Warwick and leaving thinking I'd only go there if no one else gave me an offer. What was it that swayed you so much?

Just wanted to let you know. I went to Swansea for my BSc and absolutely loved it. It is a really nice city and you're never more than a 5 minute walk away from the beach. I'd pick Swansea if I could!

The boyfriend is waiting to hear about a job in Birmingham :P that's pretty much it.

Wondering if the MSc condition is automatic for everyone. I graduated with an MSc in 2013,yet they have my offer conditional on obtaining it by 08/2015... Do they think I'm currently studying...?

Does it specify your MSc as a requirement or isn't it just you meet the minimum requirement (a 2:2) by August?

My track update just says academic conditions if it helps.

Nope specifically mentions the MSc. I gave them the degree certificate at the interview though so not sure what they're cracking on about.

Congrats to all you guys with offers.

Can I ask how many times you've applied before getting offers? I'll be going into my third application, but only been interviewed this year as my first go was more of a trial run...

This was my second time applying - last year had three interviews, no offers, no waiting list; this year had four interviews, one offer, one waiting list, and waiting on the other two.

First time, 4 interviews, 4 offers, and a whole lot of issues with my academic background (2:2 degree, poor GCSES and A Levels) but I applied to where I met the minimum requirements and the entry exams got me to interview.

First application, 3 interviews 2 offers, one wait list and one rejection.

Although actually I don't think I can firm it until BSMS have made a decision on my application... should I email them and ask them to reject me?

I thought you could withdraw the choices on UCAS you don't want so you are just left with the option you do want - even if you don't have decisions from them...if you click view, you then get the option to permanently withdraw. Then you can firm the one you have left...

My UCAS still hasn't updated, but I do have the letter - should I contact them or give it a couple of days?

Ooh, that would be handy. I might give UCAS a call later and check how would be best to do that. Don't want to accidentally reject all of them which is a big worry of mine.

I just had my parents read out my results, I got 1,2,1,1,1,1 :smile:

That SGUL rejection doesn't hurt so much now!

I got the same. Although found it rather amusing that my 2 was for work experience - I've worked as a HCA for nearly three years in Outpatients, Wards, Theatre, X-ray and also administration... Doesn't matter though as got the offer anyways! :biggrin:

Yup, I'll never understand it - last year, I got a *4* for my work experience - I've worked in hospitals for over 10 years, and a *4* for enthusiasm... why would I bother applying at all if I wasn't enthusiastic about the job!!!
