Cambridge, Birmingham, QUB, Southampton. Not a word about interviews, and Birmingham are really good at constantly sending newsletters to trick you
I am sure you will get in, you have amazing a-levels and GCSEs. Belfast doesn't interview right? (atleast nor for intls)
Thats a pretty dirty trick by birmingham. -

Think this is first year QUB are interviewing, but I don't know about internationals. They shortlist applicants based on GCSE and UKCAT but after that it's purely based on interview performance.
To make it worse those newsletter are always entitled 'Information from the University of Birmingham'. Nasty eh?
Nasty stuff, so glad i didn't apply there. I would burst from all the stress, tears, anger and disappointment. Whats ur top choice, guessing Cambridge? -

Cambridge definitely. Don't really have a preference between the others. We had a talk about Irish universities today, it's really quite confusing, but I might apply there too.
best of luck for cambridge. -

it probably would, but i have an hour and a bits worth of train journeying to school and back everyday, so its good to get a little bit of prep done during that time -

I know. I feel like all med schools should have their decision by this time. :P

So far, no news. One of the few with no interview. so scary and i think i am going to be rejected by all four. Is bham ur top choices btw?
Yeah, long time no talk. How a-level and stuff!As far as I know it doesn't make a difference to most (if not all) unis whether it's early or late. Last year I didn't hear until January for my interview and I'd already been rejected by one uni a few days before christmas
Also remember tsr generally don't represent the majority of the population and tbh theres probably quite a lot of people on here without interviews who just don't want to mention it

It's funny but the whole application madness has made me so numb that I don't even care about their decision anymore. I've spend my last year preparing for this, screwed the ukcat and, on top, it is largely a matter of luck. So, yeah, whatever...

same! but when you think about it, theyve only had our applications for a month, and our ukcats for a week or so, so it hasnt even been that long!
yeah, its good to be able to use that time cause normally i just stare into space/read the metro/sleep
and yupp! <3 kings
Oh true, and i heard most med school receives like approx 4000 application. Ah, thats a nice way to put it. *feels less stressed*
Haha, just like me but yeah, lucky cuz i have been so swamped with school work, no time to concentrate on interview prep.
Aww, good luck and same here. It is an awesome academics and social environment. -

I know it's near enough imposible but try not to worry to much about not getting an interview so earlyAs far as I know it doesn't make a difference to most (if not all) unis whether it's early or late. Last year I didn't hear until January for my interview and I'd already been rejected by one uni a few days before christmas
Also remember tsr generally don't represent the majority of the population and tbh theres probably quite a lot of people on here without interviews who just don't want to mention it
Have you got any news btw? -

Depends on the medical school. Some do, some don't.
Personally I'm at BL and human dissection is not a standard part of the course. We get prossections which we are encouraged to handle and become familiar with. Human dissection is available as an SSC which I've opted for so hopefully I'll get to do some human dissection this year
Policy varies though -
