Warwick GEP (A101) Applicants 2015

Hey there! I graduated from Lancaster with a first in Biomedical science, good luck in your final year!

I was wondering if anyone knows if you get a point if you are currently doing your Masters? or do you only get the extra point once you have gained your masters degree result?

Ah cool, not seen any fellow Lancastrians yet. Thanks! And yeah I heard it was an extra point for a Masters and I think I saw that it was 3 extra points for a PhD

Where has this points system come from? I didn't know they were using one for this year.

The system they're using is different from the one they used last year but basically they higher the level of your degree (bachelors, masters, PhD), the more points you get

Hmm, I have a 2.2 BSc but an MSc with merit. Will be interested to find out if they consider that equal to just a BSc or if I get the extra for the MSc too.

Last year, warwick starting sending out decisions on the 20th November. Hopefully they do the same this year.

Where did you find this? I can't see it anywhere on their website not that it would help me as I only have a BA(Hons.) 2.1....

Their website says December, sadly: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/med/study/ugr/applying/

In "dates to remember" on the right.

Oh, I was told when I called admissions. And don't worry, with a 2:1 you're fine. If I remember correctly, you've got a pretty awesome ukcat score too. Given that the PS won't form a central part of their decision, I'll be very surprised indeed if you don't get an interview.

I'll be taking that with a pinch of salt. Last year we didn't hear about interviews until around mid-January. However they started sending out rejections on the 20th November last year.

Yeah but last year they were looking at personal statements as well and this year I am presuming they are looking at UKCAT alone, so on that basis, maybe interviews will be given out earlier? I am just being hopeful though...

Yeah that's a good point actually- surely they will be able to sort out interview shortlists with a click of a button since it's only based on UKCAT? I remember when I was emailing them about my work experience they suggested that the shortlist would be done in mid-November and they would be contacting people to confirm their work experience hours, so hopefully we will start to hear soon. Or at least we'll start hearing about rejections and hence get an idea of the UKCAT cut-off?

They told me on the phone it would be early December. I asked because I said I wouldn't be back 'til then, and was worried they'd send out work experience forms whilst out of the UK. Alas not So expect early December.

Fingers crossed. I haven't had anything from Newcastle yet though and a lot of people with lower UKCATs than mine have been invited to interview, which is making me irrationally paranoid about some kind of UKCAT mix up!


Ah I see. Well I'd rather know sooner than later so fingers crossed for early invitations!
