2017 Bristol medicine hopefuls

is Bristol known for giving interviews earlier than other unis? cause my other 4 choices (3 med 1 dental) haven't even given interviews to anyone yet, according to the forum.

is there another forum that people use?

Since it's the hot topic,

When will most of the interviews be given out by? I know they can keep going until like late January and afterwards but roughly when will the majority be given out by?

Yeah, I guess so.

It's just the worst, not knowing when you will be offered an interview, even if you will be offered an interview, being stuck on how to prepare for them

Seriously? I'd have thought maybe some would be given out later but not as late as March!

I always thought uni's aimed to give the bulk of interviews out before Christmas break?

I got an email yesterday for an interview- I booked mine for 23rd Nov.
I sent my UCAS application on the 3rd October.

Predicitions: AAA (biology, chemistry and physics)
GCSE: 8A*,5A,1B
UKCAT: 600 ( very disappointed)
The usual personal statement- work experience at GP surgery and hospital, volunteered at youth club and care home.

How are you all preparing for the MMIs

No you choose one of the times on one of the days. The interview lasts for about an hour.

How many other people have received "still considering your application"?
does anyone know if in the previous admissions cycle , anyone with this email ended up receiving the interview?
or does it mean its the end of the road.

From what I saw in last year's thread there were people who got that email and had interviews as far as I'm aware :smile:

Yeah, apparently they do this frequently... I think it does mean that you won't receive any news from ucas, however interviews I believe are being sent directly from the uni, via Bristol VIP. Someone with an interview correct me if I am wrong

I got an email for my back up choice from Birmingham on thursday night. At 3 in the morning, I got the same email saying I had an update from UCAS but there was nothing on UCAS track. Do you reckon it was a technical glitch or i will have another interview?

It could be a glitch as UCAS had a problem with their automated emails. You might still get one, who knows! :smile:

Although it's probably better to wait for the email from the university to be sure.
