Plymouth Medical School Applicants 2016

Lol I agree with you, I really want to know now but at the same time I have a feeling it could be bad news. Just have to try and remain optimistic, everyone may surprise themselves - probably went better than we think! When exactly are we told whether we've got an offer or not?

In the same boat as you two, booked a holiday from the 11th until the 18th so of I find out on holiday it could be the best or worst trip ever!! 😂

This time next week we should hear from them! Nervous times.

P.s. I think this because if you go on twitter and type in "Plymouth medicine offer" the past four years, it has been the week before Christmas on a Tuesday so I'm 99% sure it will be the same this year!

Does anybody know when rejections come out and if they come out before offers?

Last year at about 3.15 on Tuesday 16th December they sent out waiting list emails for the borderline/near-miss candidates. I'm pretty sure that we already knew that Plymouth would not send out final rejections until after all the interviews in January as I vividly remember sitting on a sun lounger in Mexico (!) with my daughter frantically refreshing UCAS track and TSR for the next hour and a half knowing that, after that, any further change that day would be an offer. Sure enough at 4.46 a single button-press sent-out all the offers via track as loads of us on TSR heard simultaneously
The 16th last year exactly mimicked the dates from the year before so, hopefully, Tuesday 15th will be D-day this year…

Best of luck to you all.

Sorry if I'm being slow but are you saying that offers will be sent out around 15th December and borderline/rejections on the 16th?

So basically offers could be given out next tuesday or in January sometime, depending if you're definite "yes" candidate or a "maybe"?

I called up Plymouth, this isn't right, they said they'll be meeting on Wednesday the 16th from 1-3 after 3 you can call to find out, but offers will be given out on Thursday and Friday.

Does anybody know if the written questionnaire is used in the interview scoring or was it more to help us to prepare for what's ahead (just to put our thoughts down on paper, not necessarily assessed by the interviewers)?

It's only used in borderline circumstances i.e. To try and differentiate between 2 very similar candidates

Where did you find that out?

Do you know if this is the same for Dentistry?
