No, at the interview they told us that we were all randomly picked that day, so it didnt matter whether we were from england or scotland or international, school leaver or graduate , or those who scored higher nor those who scored the least , its all just random ! :smile:

Just spoke to the woman at admissions and she said they have basically filled out all their interview spots and are now just filling interview spots for the applicants that were offered interview and turned them down. These interview invites will be sent out by the end of this week so if you're like me and not heard back at all then this week is the final countdown!

Though that email sounds pretty clear, universities have a nasty habit of doing completely unpredictable things. The word 'basically' allows quite a lot of wriggle room :tongue:

I cannot stress this enough: Until you have been formally informed, via UCAS, that your application has been unsuccessful then there is still a chance.

It means they've still got some places left to fill from people that have received offers but rejected them so u could receive an interview by the end of this week!

Don't lose hope!

So, what are you planning to do, are you going to apply to the same unis as last time...

I am expecting a rejection too but am planning to apply again

This time I will really work on my UKCAT so I can apply to the 4 scottish University.

Maybe I misused the word 'post grad'..! I finished my degree in Psych and Neuroscience last year and currently work full time as a locum HCA. Thanks, I had my Warwick interview 3 weeks ago and it went quite bad I think but I wont know for sure until next week..!

I have to do chemistry as my degree didn't have enough chem content and I got a C in AS chem many years ago! What was your degree in?

Just out of curiosity, how did you manage to get an HCA job when you hold a degree? To put it in other words, how did you convince them that you actually want to work as an HCA without mentioning that you're doing it to get an insight into a career in medicine (because you may appear less committed)?
