Well done to everybody with interviews - can't even imagine how much you guys must have done if I didn't manage to get an interview haha!

Jeez man you have a pretty impressive application :P But remember a huge part of medicine application is luck and just how the selector on the day feels. I got an interview from Plymouth but not from Exeter even though apparently they are exactly the same requirements (purely academic) so it can just be a lottery.

I still haven't even heard yet! they are taking agessss!

Boo sorry to hear that... Did they give you a reason why?
have you got other offers?

Haha yeah a lot of it is luck! I'm actually going to give BSMS a ring tomorrow because I a) want feedback and b) Am a bit skeptical about what aspect of my application wasn't good enough - I applied to BSMS last year but was given 24.5/30 for my application (had AABB at AS so no wonder!), but this year I have full marks for academics, and my PS hasn't changed so surely I would have the same score for my PS and with a better academic score I would have been likely to get an interview?! Odd, oh well!
I also applied to Plymouth and didn't get an interview, because I'd missed the UKCAT cut-off in VR by 20 marks, even though I've got my a-levels and they said they would waive the ukcat for those with achieved grades :P
just can't win..!! Praying Queen's Belfast liked me at interview hahahahahaah :/

No reason why, just the standard letter i think saying you've been unsuccessful this time etc and offered me another course at the uni to apply for.
No offers yet, had two interviews at Durham and Leicester, waiting to hear back from those and haven't heard anything from Cardiff yet either.
Stats were:
GCSE: 9A*s 3As
AS results: AAAB
Predicted A*AA
UKCAT: 2900 (725 average)

Hope your application is going well have you heard anything from bsms yet? x

Hi, was wondering did BSMS ask you to send your transcript? have they replied back to you when you sent it??
Because i scanned my transcript,sent it by email and never heard back from them.
Any way lets just wait,good luck everyone

Well I can just go ahead and give up hope myself in that case.
Nice stats though, all the best.

I feel exactly the same.. I have no chance!!
