Still waiting to hear from UCLAN. Last year I had my letter of invitation to the assessment day by 4th Nov. Kinda getting nervous that it's still not here :frown:

Yes, 2014 I think they sent invitations out by the 2nd, so the date seems to vary.

Keep the faith! :smile: today could be the day.

I called yesterday and was told that all letters for the exam invitation have been printed off. We should be expecting a letter to arrive by Wednesday :smile:
How did you find the entrance exam last year? Is it MCQ?

I think it went okay overall, it started really well and the end was more difficult. I got at least about 6 wrong. What you think is the pass mark?

Yeah same here! My number one choice is Liverpool graduate entry. Still haven't heard back from them yet. What about you?


Obviously I would be more than happy to goto Liverpool but I would prefer to goto UCLan I much prefer their way of teaching plus I live near Accrington so would hope to get put in that DEC, what uni are you at now? Are you doing Biomed?

Yeah same here, would be so happy with either. I graduated last year from university of Manchester studying medical biochemistry. Currently working for a biopharm company in Oxford. How about you?

I don't think it will be tomorrow I'm thinking more like Wednesday they won't have finished counting them she said until Monday and then the admin team have to email us, I'm from Rossendale which is near Burnley if you know it? Did you goto uni straight from college or are you a mature student ?
