It doesn't make sense. Why would they have a policy that favoured re-sitters over first-timers? What's more likely is that you just haven't heard yet.

EDIT: Muhaha's post below blows away my theory...

Guys.. I just called up admissions and all interviews for school leavers have been given out and they are still processing graduate applications...so that means if you're a school leaver and haven't heard anything (that's me as well) then its most likely a rejection.. I don't even know what to say, Exeter was my safest option as well! :mad:

Can someone else call up to double check?

I'm a grad actually, with a gamsat score of 65. But not holding out much hope having seen the stats of some of you undergrads on here...

Just rang myself and the guy said all the interviews have been handed out. Exeter is the one place I really wanted to go and being rejected for seemingly no reason is ridiculous. I'm almost certain it was based off GCSEs or something. I have A*A*AA achieved, 690 UKCAT but my GCSEs are 2A*s, 4 As and 4 Bs. Actually devastated.

I might as well add to the confusion! I'm a graduate with GAMSAT score of 67. Heard nothing about an interview yet, not even been told cut offs.

Hey, I have a GAMSAT score of 67 and have not heard anything either. I also have not received any info about cut offs. I'm hoping that they are processing the graduate applications after the undergrads.

Have any graduates heard anything!?

I don't understand, their website doesn't even mention the basic GCSE requirements of Bs in English lang and Maths (unless I'm not looking in the right place) and I asked them and they said to me that they don't really take GCSEs into consideration and that its all about predicted and UKCAT? How can they suddenly change their selection criteria like that without informing us?

This is so disappointing. Did they shed any light on their process. I have A*AA predicted and UKCAT 717.5. Seeing a few similar applicants and really confused as to what way interviews were designated.

I really have no idea. Unless they decided to ignore my A*s as they weren't in sciences. I'm just seriously confused. Maybe it was personal statement. I was so stunned by the admissions guy saying they had actually all been handed out that I didn't ask anything else.

Hey,
I received a interview for the reserve today at about 10:45 am. The interview is on the 15th at 11:30.

IB: predicted 41 (7,7,6 at HL)
UKCAT: 672.5

I considered the thought that maybe the requirement would rise from A*AA pred/ach to A*A*A, but then I thought "Nah that's not going to happen, A*A*A is too much to ask for especially since the offer is only AAA". Guess I was wrong...

I'm a graduate with a GAMSAT of 69 and I've not heard a peep - I had a GAMSAT of 61/62 last year, and I heard the following week. I get the feeling that they've swapped the grads to the new year now. Which is effing irritating. I'll be in Tokyo for the last two weeks of February and there's nothing I can do about that.

The system is totally flawed, & I hope there is something we can do about it. The information provided from the website is condescending to their selection process.

How does it make sense to have a range on your offer grades on the website of AAA/A*AA then turn around and give preference to people with more A*s even though you're only going to offer them an AAA or A*AA offer

My predicted A* is in a non science subject as well.
Surely it can't be personal statements because they kept saying that they don't check our personal statements until after the interview.
At first I thought he meant all the December interviews had been given out, upon further questioning I realized that all school leaver interviews had been given out and I was just shocked.

To think this was exeter's reply having sent them an email before applying, I will be absolutely gutted if I get rejected.
