Medicine 2017 entry

Hi all,

Got accepted for an interview at Kings two days ago! Very excited, but nervous.

I have the ISC Medical book and am using it to prepare for the MMIs, but is there any way to know what the stations will be? I know Birmingham is quite transparent with telling applicants what each of the stations are/what they're testing, but Kings seem to be quite vague from what I've researched.

Also, the status of my application (accepted for interview) has been updated on Kings Apply, but not on UCAS Track; does anyone know why that is?

And, just out of curiousity, has anyone got any interview offers from Bristol/Birmingham/Barts?

Good luck all with your interviews and applications!

No way!!! x

Glasgow (zero chance), Dundee (fair chance), Aberdeen(fair chance) and Edinburgh (very low chance)

wby?

Glasgow uses a cut off but the other 3 don't hope this helps. x

I've applied to Dundee too!! Do you know how they use the UKCAT or how they shortlist their applicants? x

"Applications are ranked on academic achievement and UKCAT score. The top 550 will be invited to select an interview time to suit them via our online booking tool. We also invite applicants to provide information about any adverse circumstances which could have affected their education and applications will then be ranked again using this extra information and approximately another 50 invitations to interview will be issued. "

had a mock interview yesterday with someone who is actually on the UCL admission board and interviews undergraduates! she said the most important thing is to learn. your. personal statement. i mentioned first aiding at the london marathon and she asked me what solution we have to the dehydrated runners. the answer was pump em full of electrolytes but i was asked why electrolytes and why not pure water. so know every single thing they could possibly ask you about your personal statement!

that being said she said if my mock was a real UCL interview i'd have a place! best of luck to everyone!

Got an interview offer for Leicester!

My son just got an interview for Leicester score 42.5 it was date up to 6th January so there are more dates to come.Good luck everyone.While back someone on this thread said my son had no chance as his GCSEs were not that strong but his A levels were excellent so future medics if you work hard in A levels but didn't get strong GCSEs like my son you can still have chance don't give up.Just hope he does well in interview.A lot of you were so support thank you.

Thank you for letting us know! I think I got 41.5 for my score, but if they count my further maths iGCSE it would be 42.5, but I'm not sure if they will. It's absolutely nerve racking right now, especially since I haven't heard from any universities yet
