£450 deposit - your contract won't be confirmed without paying it. I applied last Friday.

They sent out an email when you accept an offer (verbally) with a list of all the things you need done before enrolment


Omg I honestly didn't know that we had to verbally confirm the offer?!
Track said that no further action had to be taken and the uni will be in contact. I did get the confimation email though. I sent all those forms a while back, people who had forms missing got emails so I assumed it was all okay.
I guess I'll ring them tomorrow. Thanks for the info :smile:

Mine might have been slightly different because I am a graduate already and only got the offer last Friday? They gave me 17 days to get EVERYTHING sorted in time for September, so perhaps I got priority in halls, I don't know.

Either way, I doubt it'll be long before you guys get confirmations :smile: I start on the 1st, I think you all have a little more time :smile:

Ohhh right that's reassuring! We start on the 19th so makes sense that you got it earlier
Thanks :smile:
Did anyone else curl up into a ball and cry after seeing how many pages of OH forms there were?
Hi guys, I'm going to be applying this year, for 2016 entry.

I was wondering- since you are asked to provide references to bring to the interview, do these references have any effect on whether you get an offer?

i.e. If my interview went really well, but I only had a few references that show I did some barebone volunteering, could an offer be withdrawn?

Thanks

No - The references they ask for are very brief. my references were three lines long confirming the dates I was there. Eg

"X volunteered at the disability school an hour a week for three months. During this time X played sport with children and helped the teachers during class"

If you meet the UKCAT cutoff and have enough GCSE points then you will be guaranteed an interview according to their website.

After that it's your interview that will decide whether or not you'll get an offer

Since they use MMI interviews my advice would be to have an idea of what you'd say for a wide range of questions from the obvious why medicine to roleplay to scenarios to recent medical news

Since I'm an international applicant, I don't know much about what's in news ATM. What do you suggest I do to keep myself up to date with this?

You can look at BBC health and the guardian newspapers health section to keep up to date about medical issues in the UK specifically.

Do we need to buy freshers tickets beforehand or is it on the door?
Hey guys, does anyone know how long our christmas break is? (thinking way ahead ahhaha). On the semester dates it says 6 December till 6 Jan there's a break but then they say that the break is only 2 weeks long.
I got offered a place and am starting in September with only a UKCAT score of 575 ish , I think they focused more on my personal statement so don't let UK CAT scores put you off applying!

That is made-up. I got rejected from SGUL because I only got 620 and the CUT-OFF was 637.5. They LITERALLY said that I never got picked because of my UKCAT.

Fellow doctor wannabes. please DO let your UKCAT put you off applying here. Apply to Bham, I got in cause they don't care about UKCAT.

First part seems correct - think the cut off was 2560 overall

Second part is wrong because Brum has now started using the ukcat for 2016

Only Bristol has no entry test. Even Liverpool have started using ukcat this year

Dec 6 to Jan 6 sounds about right, it's usually a month long, at least it was last year :smile:
I got 707 in the first 4 sections of the UKCAT but I got a band 4 in situational judgement. Can I still apply here, and where else can I apply?
Hi,

I have met the GCSE requirement score, I got B(one in fourth subject) BCC(1 UMS off a B) at AS and am predicted AAA. I got a UKCAT of 2640 and Band 1..I will be doing some resits of my AS is it worth applying? Also is there any way of stating on UCAS that you are doing some AS resits?

Thank you!!
