Aw I totally know how you guys are feeling because I was feeling the same up until 16.41 today. I really hope you, @charlottemc1234 and everyone else hear ASAP. Good luck :smile:


Congrats at least one of the omg-i-cant-handle-the-wait crew has heard back!!! About bloody time too.

I haven't heard and should have heard by now if it was going to be positive according to the woman I spoke to. Good luck to everyone else waiting and for those of you with interviews I hope you do well

Hahaha!! I am still in shock. It is annoying you guys are still waiting. I reckon tmw and thursday they'll send out more interviews and maybe more rejections on friday. It's my guess, might be completely wrong but lets stay positive for the rest of the "omg-i-cant-handle-the-wait" crew :wink: I really hope you all hear good news!

and what i get is a rejection from all Unis. Its strange how they choose future doctors based on a few paragraphs, i bet someone who is good at english can put together the most fluent and seamless RR or Personal statement, but no way that means they are a good doctor. Simply ridiculous.

keele is one of the only unis that bases things almost purely on a RR or personal statement, most of the others are purely academic, I had very similar stats when I applied as an undergrad and also got 4 resections pre interview, there are just so may people out there with higher academics and UKCATs applying for medicine unfortunately

Don't be disheartened by this. Work experience is a big factor for keele and the R and R form is pretty much saying what you learned from the work experience you did, they're not focused on your academics!
rejection at 11:50 :frown:
