Sorry to hear that. Your stats are first class and better than mine. I have not heard anything yet. Did you get a still considering email ?

Was it an email from Bristol or was it just track ?

Are you an international student?

Are there any more international students left to be interviewed? I still have not gotten an update...

Was this post-interview? What sorta volunteering/work experience/extra-curriculars did you write about? Are you a UK applicant?

Thank you very much And yeah, I mean I was very upset at first (it was my first choice university, unfortunately) but in their email they said that my application was very strong and so they'd like me to apply for one of these other courses (they gave me a choice of 7) and so I've written back to them and transferred to their BSc in Pharmacology, so hopefully I might get that!

Hi there, I sorry to hear about your rejection. My son had the same email today (pre-interview) so has Manchester as his only remaining option for medicine this year. I wondered whether you had received any offers/awaiting offers from any of your other choices this year or is pharmacology what you would now prefer to do? It's difficult to know what this particular offer to change course means-is it like a free extra choice in addition to the other 5 applications? My son pretty much ignored it as he has no intention of doing anything other than medicine but I'm wondering whether he should take the offer to change as a back-up plan perhaps?

Hi, sorry to hear about your son. I've gone with it as a back up because I decided that having an offer for something is better than an offer for nothing! I haven't got decisions from my 3 other med schools or my non-medicine choice yet so it's still very much a waiting game

I think that's probably a good idea, when he eventually gets up I'll mention it! He cancelled his non-medicine place because he needed to write a new ps for it at the time that all his medicine choices were sending out additional information forms. He's quite happy to take a year out and try again if he doesn't get an offer this year but I work in a secondary school and see some students who fail to get the grades they wanted (students whose predictions were really high but sometimes it just goes wrong) so I think he should really consider taking Bristol up on their offer so he has a back up if he doesn't get the grades to do medicine. It's such a hard course to get into! Good luck with all of yours!

I got an interview today and you can choose which of the dates in March suits you best. So, for me, I found out a month in advance.
