Foundation year Medicine- University of Leicester 2020 entry

yeahhh i guess so , like why would they send this form to someone they will reject loool , bit of a time waste if they do , whats ur stats again ?or total points

This is exactly what I’m thinking if you’re not eligible then surely you’ll get rejected.
Also the fact that its an eligibility form to me sounds like they’re confirming details with specific applicants who from the data provided on UCAS don’t seem to meet the requirements for the foundation year but that’s just my personal opinion.

So first you get chosen then if you don't meet the eligibility criteria you get rejected. That is not very smart from them.

No you're wrong read their website, it states all applicants will be required to fill in the eligibility form to confirm they meet the widening participation criteria

What'd you mean you guess so loool I would have thought the first thing they'd do is send out the eligibility forms to see who is actually eligible for the course. THEN they would begin assessing/scoring the eligible applicants. Are you just coming up with theories? haha

Can't remember my score look back on this post

no no literally they said we dont give these forms to everyone , as in rejected people ,i am just in doubt from what they said , like the elgibility form is to confirm the requirements for when you applied which are :
Group A
You are due to complete, or have recently completed, your A-levels/BTEC/IB/equivalent (completion should be no longer than two years prior to the start of the course) and have not already attended any higher education institution.
You must either:
Live in a neighbourhood with low young participation in higher education within the United Kingdom - your postcode must be in quintile 1 or 2 in POLAR3 young participation (check your postcode on the Office for Students website)
OR
Live in a neighbourhood with a high level of multiple deprivation - your postcode must be in decile 4 or below in the Index of Multiple Deprivation (check your postcode against the English indices of deprivation)
You attended a state school for GCSEs (UCAS reference or confirmation letter from the school will be required)
Group B
You are, or have previously been, in local authority care/looked after (a confirmation letter from the local authority is required)
You live in a household with an income of no more than £35,000 (documentary evidence required)
You are the sole carer of a parent(s) or, if living away from home, you are the sole carer of a sibling (a confirmation letter from your school is required)
You have refugee status (a letter from the Home Office is required)
You attended a state school for GCSEs where the Attainment 8 score is below the national average. For 2019 entry, GCSE performance in 2017 will be considered according to the Department for Education performance tables (UCAS application)

Students living independently of parents (for at least the last 6 months) due to situations of family breakdown or 'estrangement'.
Students who receive a UCAT Bursary award
Students from a home where neither parent/carer attended university in the UK or abroad.

I think Leicester interview in Feb so don’t expect to hear back for a while it’s the last one I’m waiting on got three other interviews

Has anyone called up asked if not please can someone give the number because I cant find it !

This is ridiculous, anyone know why are they taking so long??

I've tried tht and it says not recognised?

I phoned and it went through so idk why it said that I might try and get through to them now

Let us know what they say

BTW Interviews come really late for Leicester. Unlike the regular medicine course, this one will start sending out after January so don't stress too much over it during the Christmas holidays. Also, their eligibility form is the first step of the selection process because the people who don't receive it already get rejected. This is because of the information provided to them by UCAS and this literally happened to me the first week I applied to Gateway Year Bristol.
