Nottingham Medicine Applicants 2011

Still no interviews for Nottingham? I can't believe this - I think they're trying to see who cracks under the pressure!

anyone heard anything yet?....................................

duhh I have ears of course I've heard!! In fact, I hear all the time!

hahaha.... you're hilarious lol

hehe you all believed me

how many offers do nottingham give??

why facepalm??

The top scoring 33% are called for interview. So three applicants per interview.

The fact that they use everything possible to decide who to interview makes it pretty hard to get an interview at Notts. But if you do over half get offers so it's not as bad as say Leicester post-interview.

i think its also fair how they use everything. rather than base everything on GCSE's or UKCAT etcc....

Yep agree with you there. However, I do think it is important for them (and other universities) to say how they score each category and be open about admission procedures.

yes i agree with you also. like kings for example. i was never told at all at the open day or from the prospectus that they base interviews on a sliding scale with GCSE's and UKCAT. so i applied thinking my predicitions and work exp would be looked at. it misled me and a wasted option

Yeah I bet that has mislead a LOT of people over the years. I feel for you.
What I find hard to believe is that if the medical schools are regulated by GMC, surely things such as this would be picked up on? Or do the GMC only regulate the curriculum taught?

It's unfortunate due to the high number of applicants, some unis are adopting policies to just cut a large proportion of the applicants out based on just one or two factors.

Tommorows Doctors states that the admissions process should be open, clear and transparent. Obviously, different medical schools have differing interpretations of what that means.
