I think it was last year's at 4.4 cut-off for lowest band for S2. Although, looking at the even lower distributions of this year's scores, I would hazard a guess that the cut-offs would be around 0.1pt lower for S1 and S2. Obviously we don't know for sure yet though.

Although a select few in the widening participation band will have been interviewed with lower than that.

So if you haven't been sent a rejection does that mean that you can assume you've met the cut off point??

Sadly not - it appears if they still haven't sent out mass rejections for those that met the cut off. So annoying, I highly doubt my S3 (2A) has met it.

I reckon 4.3 will make the cut-off Yazmin - looking at the distribution of this year's scores compared to 2014, the skews are even more positive so I would say perhaps 4.2 and 4.3 in S1 and S2 might just make it?

Tbh, the essay has never gone below 2.3B, so I'm not hopeful with 2A, unless I'm really really lucky.

Ah thanks that makes me feel much better but i won't keep my hopes too high!
I'm really sorry to hear that did you get it remarked? The cut offs are very frustrating especially if you banged out the other two sections- have you got any other interviews yet?

Yep, and S1 went from 4.5 to 9.0 (like wtf?!) (must've been a clerical error), S2 stayed at 4.5 and S3 stayed at 2A.

I did want to appeal the essay but to no avail.

How about you?
