Graduate Entry Medicine: 2016 Entry

Does anyone know if the warwick work exp questionnaire is a sign of being over the ukcat threshold, or if it's sent to everyone? Don't want to get my hopes up as I got a pretty substandard UKCAT...
Thanks :smile:

Mind me asking your UKCAT?

I would imagine they send it out to people above their UKCAT threshold, seems silly to make people fill out these forms if they're not being interviewed anyway?

Oh my gosh I'm reaaaally hoping so, was anticipating a straight rejection with only 680 UKCAT but you're right, it would be odd to request the information from people that won't be considered further... thanks!

I felt really sad when I realised half of it was made up (I dont know about the other half)

Does anyone know if the 200 characters permitted for the work experience description includes spaces or not?

ah wow so was it an interview from warwick you got with it?

No it seems you need to pass their minimum work experience requirements before getting an interview. I think I might make it by a few hours.

Not gunna lie, part of me is worried that I have received the email by mistake! Oh really, that seems strange... Do you have/are you expecting to have a 1st or a 2.1 if you don't mind me asking? That seems to be the only other thing to compare applicants on as they don't read personal statements at this stage.Thanks, I hope your email is just a little late coming through!

that's really good news.

I got a bit of a shock when I saw the work experience was limited to that done up to and including 15 October though.

I achieved a 2:1 and I have an mPharm (integrated masters), I'm hoping they're still sending out some emails... Not sure how likely that is though.

Yes fingers crossed! I'm yet to graduate (predicted a 1st) so if anything, your integrated masters seems like it should score more highly. Good luck!

I guess the important thing is to not write down less than 70 hours on the form. If you look at the link of acceptable work experience it's actually pretty wide so for instance if your day job involved a substantial first aid component you could include that or some activities from it if it involved a lesser amount of voluntary first aid or similar element.

Currently on three interviews out of four, with Barts BM4 still to respond. Starting to believe that this whole medicine thing actually has a chance of happening!!

Interview invites from Southampton 4 year and Dundee/Glasgow 5 year. And two were in the last two days.... My nerves are destroyed!

I imagine if it's hospital then they would :smile:

Don't see why not! I'm in the same boat as you, hoping they count my hospital pre-reg as experience as it's incredibly ward heavy.

Hey guys, does anyone know if Warwick send out the workexperience forms before they check your ukcat score? with a ukcat avg. of 687.5 I assumed that I would recieve a rejection from the get go. It would seem pointless to send out these forms to people who didnt meet their requirement...
