2017 Bristol medicine hopefuls

Thank you!



It was an email, not track

Thanks! fingers crossed I hear soon. Genuinly so pleased for you - where else have you applied?

I've seen some successful applicants last year didn't get interview offers until January, so they reaaaaally seem to stagger invitations :/

When you have an afternoon nap 😴 and wake up to an interview! SO NERVOUS!!!

What are your stats Cutie Tootsie ? GCSE, AS UKCAT etc ? Also when did you submit your application? You were also the only one they sent a UKCAT email too also. Noone else got that UKCAT email .

I think she sat the exam with extra time - and they ask for evidence after and I think that was the email you're referring to.

I've had a look on social media and found someone else who got an invite today. My guess is that a larger batch will be going out tomorrow . From previous threads I've been looking at, sometimes they seem to trickle in at first.

How much work experience did you do? And if you dont mind me asking what kind of things did you include in your ps? once again congrats !! well done

I went through this last year - did not get a single interview. I just missed an interview with Bristol last year. Made improvements to my PS as I am now a full time care assistant.

Congrats!! You must've scored highly.

Did you go to the Sutton trust summer school at Bristol by any chance?

Sorry to hear that what was it that stopped you getting an interview with Bristol, if you don't mind me asking? I'm also a fellow HCA and it's def the best experience you can get .

I scored a really average UKCAT (640) but my academics, PS and experience are strong. But knowing my luck this is what will let me down. Last year Aberdeen interviewed people with UKCAT scores from 2180-3350. So, with the dip in applicant numbers and a lower average, I'm hoping it'll be enough to get in

Where else have you applied?

Last year with Bristol my PS let me down. Feedback said I went overboard on my work experience and why I wanted to be a doctor etc but not nearly enough on my extra curricular stuff. They say they like 1/3 of why you want to be a doctor, 1/3 work experience and 1/3 on extra curricular stuff. My PS is so much better this year. For my other universities last year it was the UKCAT that let me down - 625. My GCSEs are 7A* 5A and my achieved A levels are AAAA.
I have applied to Cardiff (should get interview there as they score A levels ) so I have maximum points. Keele and Liverpool.
