Based on last years spreadsheet, I was expecting that we would hear back during the second week of March, perhaps around 11th March? It was 35 days from interview to decision last year... End of March would be a very long wait!

Realistically if I have not received an interview for BM4 or heard anything back from Southampton, have I been rejected or are there more than 1 batches of interviews?

They can’t interview all bm4 interview applicants in 2 days that’s ridiculous I’m sorry

If you look at last years GEM spreadsheet, all the interviews were done in two days (30th and 31st January).... I’m quite confident that it was just yesterday and today for BM4. Sorry

They could sit down and compare scores in a few hours, so mean we have to wait until March =(

Hopefully you have better luck than I do but I just received my rejection update on ucas, so unfortunately it may be a rejection 😣

Does anyone know how many interviews they held and the number of offers they send out?

I was under the impression they interview around 200 people and there is 48 places on the course. Not 100% sure on the interview numbers tho x

Thanks for the reply! 200 sounds about right, on Tuesday I was told they were interviewing 90 people that day

Yeah from memory it was about 185 interviews for 65 offers last year is what they said at the open day... I remember it being about a 1/3 chance!

When I spoke to a current student at my interview, they said they had heard back within 2 weeks.

I have my fingers crossed we will hear back this week!

I'm thinking we could be waiting till early/middle of March (once all the BM5 interviews are done). Last year, offers were sent out 35 days after the BM4 interviews. I received my rejection on the 9th March. So not sure you should get your hopes up for this week (but I hope I'm wrong lol).

Agree with this.... Although a response this week would be amazing! (If it’s good news!!)

That’s what I was expecting. Based on last year, I have predicted around 10th March, but we shall have to patiently wait and see (easier said than done, lol)
