Are you an international student?


Nope
Just got an interview, have the BMAT results of 6.9 5.5 3.5A, there is still room for error at the interview, however; 480/750 are given an offer at interview stage (~64%). Booked my interview for Feb.

Any advice as to what to do during interviews?

Just stay calm and make sure you know your PS well beforehand. If you end up with a hostile panel (a very small number do - I did when a I applied), just makes sure you stay extra calm and laugh it off with the,. The stats are in your favour, so you'll likely be fine.

I've been looking at all the BMAT scores of everyone who's been called to interview so far.The minimum scores I've seen for each section have been 4.7,4.7,3A.Someone earlier mentioned that they emailed Imperial about banding this year in which Imperial did confirm that banding is still being used as it has been in previous years.So my guess is that 4.7,4.7,3A could be the cutoff for Band 1.(which gives me delirious hope)


for band 1 or band 3? seems a bit too low for band 1...

Integrated means that that theirs a fair bit of theory, along with patient contact - hence theory and clinical contact are "integrated". I say a bit of traditional, as some medics came into my school said it's slgihtly more lecture based than UCL, which is also integrated. Completely traditional refers to doing all the theory in your first 3 years with no patient contact, like at Oxford and Cambridge, while PBL (I think) has it from the start.
will there be more interview invites before Christmas?

I'd expect they would be giving out more interviews next week but there would probably be a mass rejection day too where everyone who didn't meet the cutoff will be rejected. Good luck everyone!!

I have created a spreadsheet for applicants to submit their responses (Just like Cambridge Applicants)
Please complete the following form to submit your response, this would help establish bands and act as guidance.

My section 1&2 scores are fine I am just worried I wont have met the cutoff for Section 3. I got 2.5A. Haven't seen anyone with 2.5A get an interview. Has anyone with that S3 score got one that anyone knows of? Starting to worry that'll get me a rejection.

The cut-off for section 3 is usually 2.5B so I don't think they would reject you based on it providing your section 1 and 2 scores are above the cut-off too. However, you are likely to be in band 3 because Imperial looks at your lowest section to put you in a band. They keep sending interviews on a weekly basis and it might take a while (up to March). Therefore my advice is be patient and try not to worry about it. Best wishes :smile:
