When would be start hearing back?


Posted from TSR Mobile


I think you'll receive acknowledgement after the deadline when they receive all applications..
But after acknowledgement you won't really hear anything till feb/march according to previous yr threads

Are GCSEs weighted for this?

I'd like to know this too as I've heard you should have a good set of GCSEs.

Hey guys, I'm also going for the BM6 program! I just scraped in with grades instead of going to the BM5. I got AAAc and meet all the eligible criteria things! Tips for applying here are just make sure u have a stellar Personal statement and good references! They usaully send out unconditionals as the offers are quite low anyway! I did a lot of research so I though I would help spew it all out....they give a £1000 bursary for the first year and 2 years on campus guaranteed accomadation. Timetable for year 0 is relaxed, 3 days a week lectures tues and thursday 9-5pm and wednesday 9-12pm! They will send out an eligibility form where u need to submit some details and documents around November! Good luck guys and hopefully will see some of u there next year!! Might need to create a fb page too like previous years


Have fun!

They don't usually send out unconditionals. If you have the grades, you might get an unconditional but it's not common as they like to have your a level certificates before making it 100%.

Good luck though!! Good information :smile:

Do Southampton really consider the UKCAT for the foundation course?? Does anyone know how they select students for interviews. :smile::smile:
I got 5A* 4A 1Bfor GCSE's. I got AABB for AS-levels and I will probably be predicted AAA/AAB. Done Work experience, Voluntary stuff, Duke of Edinburgh (Silver), NCS, Sports ect. If 550 people apply and there are only 30 places what are the chances for me.
