Sheffield A100 2020 Entry

Not a minimum of 3- I think it’s 2

Ah ok. I read in a post from TLC that one needs to score a minimum of satisfactory. Must have misread

I’m just using logic. If u got all 5s and 1 2(Borderline), obviously you’ll still get the offer iygm

On an FOI it was stated that for 2018 (or 2019 entry - I completely forgot) out of 45 (5 points max for 9 stations) a minimum of 29/45 was needed to score an offer.

has anyone received anything yet .... by the looks of it ... i guess thats a no

Wasn't me, was @ben444 !

Not applying until next year but on their website it says RO students will get an offer of ABB but then it says RO students who are offering the EPQ can be predicted AAB with an A in EPQ. I’m wondering is this a mistake? It says
‘ Where a SOAMS or RO applicant is taking an EPQ alongside A Levels but is predicted to attain less than an A grade in their EPQ, they will be required to have or be predicted ABB at A Level’
surely doing the EPQ shouldn’t mean you need a higher grade? It doesn’t make sense that the EPQ is essentially a disadvantage and if you miss your EPQ grade you will get a lower offer?

Ah ok thanks! @ben444 could you clarify please

What you’ve quoted says that they want you to be predicted ABB not AAB, so it’s just saying that they want you to be predicted ABB either way for RO.

I got this information from an A101 email last year saying that each candidate must score at least satisfactory at each station for an offer. I just assumed it would be the same for A100.

@TCL, did your son get this information in his Sheffield A100 email last year. If not, may just be for A101 which is more competitive

I don't remember anything like that, but he did not get an offer because of 1 station, so maybe it was.

My son had an offer last year from Sheffield (he missed his grades and is reapplying here for 2020). There is nothing in the info he was sent last year to suggest that you had to score above a certain mark in each station, rather that it was your total score (including SJT - virtual 9th station). He was given the impression that Julian reviewed all the score sheets so maybe Julian had the discretion to remove any that he felt were not suitable. The invitation also implied that your conduct throughout the interview process would be assessed (eg your interaction with other candidates) too.

Here’s hoping something out from Sheffield tomorrow. Scanning last years thread, it seemed interviews were offered over several days as they were being processed. I wonder if this year Sheffield will notify everybody at same time this year as first interview date is 25th November which looming pretty close now. Does anybody know if you get a choice of dates or a specific one allocated?
