Exeter medical school applicants 2015!

No that's what I thought as well, heading away in a few days and the paranoia set in that it might be June 31st but I think you're right.

Yes, definitely.

Plymouth has kept the Peninsula name so is Plymouth University Peninsula School of Medicine and Dentistry. Exeter has lost the dentistry bit to Plymouth and is just known as University of Exeter Medical School.

You can apply to both, the admissions process is virtually identical although Exeter expect A*A*A either predicted or achieved to interview you and their standard offer this year was A*AA. Plymouth want A*AA to interview you and then their standard offer was AAA.

How much emphasis do exeter put on As grades? I have 10 A* gcse, 710 ukcat , A*A*AA prediction but AAABC at as. The C is in chem, but I know I can get an A and am predicted an A, will this go against me? Thanks for any advice 😊

Hey guys! Just had an email from the uni with a list of key dates and I'm a bit confused by the Unicard thing? It says August 1st is the deadline for applying for the Unicard but I just looked at the Exeter website and it said they are issued to all students so I'm not entirely sure what it means/what I'm meant to do!

Hey, yes it's your student card, basically if you apply for it now, it'll be ready for you when you arrive. Otherwise you can go to the information desk (SiD) and get one made in freshers week, but you'll get it a few days into freshers.
Hope this helps!

Hello everyone, good luck with results on Thursday,hopefully we all make it!! I just have a query about what we had to complete in termsof DBS forms, hopefully I’m just being pedantic and misinterpreting an email. Igave all the ID required at the interview and have twice now completed the ‘declaration’form saying I have never had a criminal conviction etc. Was there somethingelse I was supposed to do regarding DBS as I recently received an email sayingthat might be the case! Thanks for any help and good luck for results day, its notlong now J

Hi! Have you received your actual DBS certificate? You should have received a DBS certificate, sent it to Exeter and then they send it back to you again.. Unless this process has been completed, it sounds like they are missing something.. Hope this helps good luck for Thursday!!

Anybody on the reserve list heard anything yet?


EDIT: 6 reserve offers have been made, if anyone turns down those then they'll move down the list.

Hi mate, have you heard anything back yet? Exeters my only medicine hope haha! What did you get in your A levels too if you don't mind me asking ? My understanding is they're working down the list based on A level results. (I got a*a*a and haven't heard anything . )

Only that six offers have gone out and that they'll move down the list if any of those 6 offers are turned down.

My A levels are BBB but I'm applying with a BSc in Biomedical Science and a 64 on the GAMSAT so they're not relevant to me.

I asked at the interview (along with another graduate) and they rank the waiting list based on academic achievement as a whole (so degrees>A Levels>GCSEs etc) and only use the next one down if two applicants have the same scores.


My problem is how to get out of another undergrad degree without scuppering my chances next year.

Ah okay fair enough, if you hear anything please let me know! It's so frustrating when you feel like you couldn't have done any more.... I was sure 2a*s would put me toward the top!

I missed a proper interview (the one which would have given me an offer, rather than the reserve one) by one point on the GAMSAT, I know how you feel.

Ahh that's horrendous mate, presume you still haven't heard anything? It's gettin quite late now... All the best!
