Last year Bristol didn't use UKCAT.

I totally didn't know that.

The nerves are already starting to kick in! I read in a thread from last year someone received an interview offer on November 11! For us, that would be two weeks today! Any other graduates applying to Bristol :smile:

I know!! Those who do get early interviews could get an offer in December as they said they'd be making decisions within two weeks of interview! :s-smilie:

It would quite possibly be the best Christmas present ever :biggrin:

. Do UKCAT notify us when they've passed on results to uni at all?

Unfortunately they don't because of the sheer volume of applicants that say the UKCAT. It makes it so stressful but as long as you sent it via your Pearson Vue UKCAT account you'll be fine because you stated which unis you wanted to send your results to x

Thanks! Yeah I confirmed which universities ahead of the deadline so that's all good. I know it's early days, but the waiting is stressing me out :frown:

. Hopefully we'll all hear soon enough :smile:

Dw if you don't get an interview straight away because Bristol have 4 interview batches starting from November to February, so they'll probably just work through everyone one at a time!
Hopefully lol 🙏

I reckon the universities get the UKCAT results this week. Since some people with get interview for the 22nd November and they like to give 2 weeks notice then I reckon some people will hear something early next week.

I reckon they have some UCAS forms scored then add the UKcat score. I applied last year and in November some people got early rejections if their PS was below a threshold. When scored they seem to be put in 3 categories - unsuccessful, Interview Offer and on Hold. Mine was put on hold and was not rejected until March. It was an agonising wait as offers and rejections were given out in dribs and drabs. Last year they did not use the UKCAT but it is only used in a small way this year (10%). There seem to be no order in the process of the applications either - people tried to work out if it was alphabetical, order of when the form was submitted etc and etc but there was no pattern found.

I was looking at the thread constantly it was a great distraction. I bet I will be doing the same again and it is about to start!

Don't worry. Bristol seems to send emails without an order, so you will receive it. I was one of the first to get the email about waiting for UKCAT scores but have not received this one yet.
