Is QUB the only uni that hasn't sent offers yet?

They haven't even started while pretty much all the others have all but finished I think.

Is anyone still waiting to hear from any other Medical School?

*temporary note, all Nottingham decisions should be given out by end of week beginning mon 11 dec*

I'll start the feed of:

I applied to universities that do not weigh GCSEs that highly for medicine, as I only achieved As and Bs. The universities I applied to: Newcastle, Sheffield, Keele and Bristol. And have accepted offers from Newcastle and Sheffield.
Good luck!!

Would 700+ be ideal for Newcastle and Sheffield ?

Definitely for Sheffield and it SHOULD do for Newcastle but 700+ is very vague. and depends how much more than 700 your score is.
Can Kings pls hurry up? The waiting list sucks ahaha
My condolences to those of you that didn’t receive any offers for Medicine this year, but remember that this doesn’t mean you need to give up on your goal to study Medicine. There are many different options and routes you can take....have a read of all the different options that are agile to you now.

What do to do if you have any med school offers: https://lifeofamedic.com/2018/04/24/what-to-do-if-you-dont-have-any-med-school-offers/
