Southampton A101 (BM4) 2020 Entry

Scroll to see replies

I can't remember where the number was pulled from, so I'd be hesitant to believe it. That said, maybe they're a lot of individuals second choice? I heard a rumour that during a previous cycle, previously denied interview applicants were offered a spot at Southampton during the summer period.

Yes, perhaps they take their previous acceptance rates into account. I know a few people who did have them as their second choice.

Really? One can only hope!

Last year they were on 30th and 31st January.

2018 it was 7th and 8th Feb
2017 it was between 9th and 11th of Jan.
Documents from these years all have a blanket "Jan - March" date, which is a tad inconvenient. It's anyone's guess for those three months.

Keep an eye for the update to this to know when the dates are, unless the invites come first: https://www.southampton.ac.uk/medicine/undergraduate/selection_day_dates.page

When I rang up they said that some school leaver bm5 interviews had been sent out for early December but no graduate invites would be sent out until the new year. So long! But its helpful to know so we aren't just waiting anxiously next to our emails all December!

Hi, has anyone received the eligibility questionnaire yet?

I received an email stating ‘Our Admissions team is in the process of screening all applications and eligibility questionnaires have been sent to all those who have applied for the BM6 (A102) programme.’

Does this mean everyone has been sent their eligibility questionnaires by now?

Hello,

This is the A101 thread and this survey seems to be directed at just those who apply to the A102 program, thread found here: https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=6022670

There is an active discussion in regards to the questionnaire there. I would assume that anyone who has applied to the A102 should have received the form.

BM6 is the wider participation course i.e. for students in some way disadvantaged or receiving extra help. I believe this questionnaire is to determine eligibility for the BM6 course specifically regarding these criteria, so if you've applied for BM4 I'm pretty sure we don't get a questionnaire :smile:
