The Student Room Group

Have any international applicants been rejected?

I was just wondering if most international students get accepted because we pay 2-3x the amount of money home students do. I know there's a quota/cap on the number of international students a uni takes but have any of the international applicants on TSR actually been rejected by a uni?

The quota is only for Medicine.

Why? Are you applying for Medicine?

If not then assuming you meet, or are likely to meet, the entry requirements you will be fine.

No, I've already got my offers. I was just wondering if the unis are more likely to be slightly more lenient towards international students cause they pay higher tuition fees.
