Exeter medical school applicants 2015!

The wait is horrible, I can't believe I was so relaxed October- December about interviews I just put them out of mind but now I can't bear it!!!! The 20 mins went by soooooo quickly and to top it off on the very first actual situation question the interviewer paused (for a decent amount of time) so I thought that was the end of the question so I started to give my answer but it turned out they still had a line left to say!!! Absolutely mortifying. That too right at the start of the interview! I hope that doesn't ruin my chances of getting in?!?!? That's such a silly thing to do on my part but in my nerves I thought they had finished! So scared that that alone has jeopardised my chances of getting in

Someone on the connect page is listed as on the waiting list...does this mean they've started giving stuff out??

when in my plymouth interview they asked me if I want them to read the scenario to me and my answer was "Emmm i don't know, which is best.... Emmm ok?"
which I thought blew the interview but i ended up getting an offer so it just goes to show that something silly like that won't decide on wether you get a place or not

Congratulations on getting an offer firstly, can't even imagine how happy you must be! I really hope you're right and they'll ignore it rather viewing my interruption as a negative trait of character but who knows! Do you know if exeter use only the interview as a basis of their offer or your total academic profile? I remember reading somewhere that it's interview only......Other unis who only use interviews such as Plymouth, st georges and UCL normally respond within a couple of days (or so I'm told by my friends) and Ms Aku from admissions offhandedly said in her interview speech that afterwards they'll look at interview score "and your overall ucas application" and aim to inform us by end of January. Had I not been such a bundle of nerves I would have sought clarification on the spot. Did anyone else hear her say this? Or am I misunderstanding her words?

I expect they are referring to the pre-interview waiting list.

The way I understood what she said was that if you're borderline they refer back to your overall application (UKCAT, personal statement etc) to make a final decision, but that could be wrong

Does anyone know how many offers Exeter's likely to make at the end of January? I know they've said they'll hold a number of applications to compare them to the February interview cycle too :/

any update on feb interviews for people on the reserve list? They said we'd hear by the 31st.. hoping for some good news lol

My guess is 160-175. They said they'll do a max of 60 more interviews in Feb, and they usually give around 220 offers total, so about 60 offers will still be up for grabs



That's the same deadline for the post-interview responses so what I imagine is that you will all hear after decisions have been made. There are still up to 60 more interviews to be handed out so there's still a chance!

I know we won't hear for another 2 weeks or so but is anyone else getting jumpy already?? :')

Did they mention a specific date for the offers, or was it just end of January?
