Thanks guys. I panicked and didn’t bother to look at the course code. I have applied for BM4 so I suppose it doesn’t apply to me :h: I’ve missed out on paperwork before so wanted to be extra cautious.

My heart dropped when I got the "Your application to study medicine..." email today. I know the interviews are in February and thought, well, I clearly missed the mark somewhere.

It's just a generic newsletter. You have all been warned.

Same! I actually yelled at the email. "Seriously, Southampton? Seriously???" 😂

That's one clever way of making sure people open your newsletter...
has anyone heard anything yet?

This is one that we can let not ruin our Christmas 😂They won't make a decision / send invites until the new year - possibly mid-Jan. So you can put that one on your back burner!

oh okay! Thanks!!

And going by last year Soton tend to send out multiple ‘update’ emails so if you do get an email between now and new years try not to stress out too much😂

If my calculations are right and the dates are still 4th/5th February, invites should be going out next week.

Thank you!
Does anyone know if rejections come out with interview offers, or are they sent first?

Rejections are sent much, much later on. It's not a comfortable spot to be in.
Any updates on your application guys??

Me too, I have a feeling it will be a rejection tho so mentally preparing myself for that! :frown:
If interviews will be on the 4th/5th Feb this year and there is 2 weeks of preparation time then interviews may be given out from the 20th Jan, not next week.

My estimate is from last year, when they were given out ~3 weeks in advanced. Of course, that could be different for this year.
