Omg it was so much worse before that! I know a consultant paediatrician who got CDD and got into medical school in Bristol 😱
Lol, I think it was during a time when no one bothered with university because it wasn't really necessary to get professional jobs. But now, there's competition everywhere 😰
I feel like I've only just realised how crazy it is to have applied to imperial:/ the cut-offs are discouraging. Many phenomenal applicants will get instant rejections because they didn't do well on the BMAT :/ 😭😭😭😭😭

You don't know how you've done until Friday. There's no need to doubt yourself. Even if you don't get into Imperial, the most important thing is to actually get a place somewhere so, as easy as it is for me to say, try not to worry too much about the BMAT.
Wish I was applying in the 2005 days where you only needed ABB - without even having to take an entrance exam.
One of the GPs I was working with in my gap year got an unconditional from Cardiff (she was still doing her A-Levels at the time). Imagine if that still existed today
I know exactly how you feel. I personally feel its easier to get into Cambridge (if you're good enough) than Imperial simply because they don't have such a harsh culling system before properly looking at the applications. :/
I think it depends on your strengths, really. We have lots of Oxbridge rejects here (including me ) but who got into Imperial, but we also have a few who got offers from Oxbridge but turned them down interestingly.
erm, not sure - probably not. dont they decide the cut-offs based on how many people they want to invite to interview? so i'm guessing they'd need to have meeting to decide on these things - I'm not optimistic about hearing tomorrow
I really hope the trend continues with other uni cut-offs, and theirs drops a lot too!
