Just got an interview but not even happy... it’s at the same time as the oxford interviews (1pm - 3pm 11th december) and I just called up to ask about rearranging and was told I’d be rejected if I tried to rearrange.....

I applied with predicted 3A*s and 825 UKCAT.

That's a shame! You'd think they'd be able to rearrange 😩

Wow that's awful. Surely they should take it into consideration that interview dates are beyond your control ?

The woman I spoke to was pretty firm about it. Also can’t believe that people have been rejected with such fab UKCAT scores just because of predicted grades☹️ Going off Exeter by the minute!!

My email said that only tier 1 and 2 got invites this year and cut off for tier 2 was 2670. So people like me (predicted 2A*) are all automatically rejected

I know someone who got 2660 and they got an interview today with 3 A* predictions, are you sure this is accurate?

Congrats to those that got an interview and sorry for those who didn't...
Did all of you hear from the today? I haven't and now it's past 6 so I'm not expecting anything to happen anymore but I do find it a bit weird...

If they had AAA and were contextual that puts them in Tier 1, doesn’t it?

I had an extenuating circumstance and i got rejected. They said they had too many applicants and had to apply a cut off on tier 2.

I haven't heard from them either. But my UKCAT is so low the rejection is probably coming soon. Hope you get a response soon

I know someone who had 3 A* predictions and higher UKCAT than me but they got rejected, its all very confusing! Don't worry though, where else have you applied?

If it's not too personal would you mind sharing what type of extenuating circumstances you experienced? I applied as a young carer and haven't heard back yet. Don't worry if you don't want to answer!

I just stalked last year's forum. Interview invitations and rejections were all sent out on the 16th. Those who didn't hear from Exeter called them on the 17th and were told all emails had been sent the day before, so I they didn't get one it was a mistake and it needed to be resent. Some people then had to wait for a few days for the email to be resent. I still haven't heard from them, so I guess I will have to email them tomorrow :frown:

Same! I just got an interview but lol I’m pissed af cause it’s on the same week as the Cambridge ones (4th december) :frown:

And I applied with 3A*s and 640 UKCAT

Whatttt I got 3A* prediction and 640 ukcat but have been given a February interview ... I mean I know I should be glad that I got one but am confused as to why I’m on the reserve list - any ideas? Do you think they then used gcse after ranking?
Congrats though!

Don't leave it there - try other modalities of contact or get a parent to phone again or something. Then failing that write a complaint ASAP to the med school direct, whatever it takes. What you've been told is completely unreasonable and not something done by any job interviewers, any other university, nothing. Its probably even news-worthy if they did follow through with it!

I suspect its actually some secretary getting confused or acting without the authority of anyone in the med school. No head of med school would want their admissions to work like that.
