Original post by denaturedenzyme

How's everyone doing/feeling about sheffield? I stalked last years thread and the cut off score by ranking was revealed at end of october, which I'm dreading!

Is it posted on their website at the end of October?

Actually, if you check the actual date in last year thread, the cutoff came out in the 2nd week of November. The schools only get the UCAT scores during the 1st week of November so cutoffs cannot come out before then.

Seem to remember from last year that interview offers and rejections were sent out in early November, with interviews taking place from 22 Nov onwards. I think they interview oversees quite a lot later so it took a considerable time for the offers (and rejections) to come out. There is usually a very accurate timeline on their website (Julian is very transparent).

I got 2650, the cut off last year ended up being 2630 I believe so I am definitely in the danger territory, which stresses me out so much since Sheff is honestly my dream university, the medical course seems perfect for me and I am still yet to hear a negative thing about it. What about you?

You’ve got thissss 🙌🏼 the UCAT average is very similar to last year so I’m hoping for you! I got 2820 - my first choice is Warwick (purely because it’s grad entry so it’ll be easier to fund) but sheffield looks amazing!

Nope! Sheff grad entry is for widening participation students only and I don’t meet criteria. I’ve applied for standard entry Sheffield, Leicester and Manchester 😊

How's everyone doing? The wait is honestly killing me, I just want to know if I've got an interview or not :frown:

2650. I'm hanging on the edge of their ranking.

You’ll probably be alright because deciles dropped so fewer people with have scores better than you

Actually, because more people sat the exam, there are around 450 more people scoring above this level than last year
