B M A T 2008

im sure UCL give at least 500 offers...id think quite a few of their offer-holders wud go elsewhere

Well according to this guy, Oxford has actually said that Section 2 has the most weight for shortlisting.

thats worrying

anyone know about imperial?

Well according to this guy, Oxford has actually said that Section 2 has the most weight for shortlisting.

But according to that guy, they discount your BMAT scores once they interview you, which is wrong.

I'm not saying he's necessarily wrong on this, but nobody really knows what goes on in the heads of the ATs so we speculate on here.

Besides, you shouldn't take anything you hear on the internet as gospel...

I remember some tutor at Corpus Christi Oxford on open day also telling me at section 2 seem to have worth more than the 2 two, this is for medicine anyway but I'm pretty sure they take every aspect of your application into account before shortlisting you for an interview.

Well that's true, but this person heard the same thing



oh well, it's not like we can do anything about it.

Seems like A levels is the wiser choice than IB for those taking BMAT and applying for medicine. It does have more subject depth and certainly seems to give more spare time as well as required knowledge to prepare for BMAT. People say that the grill of IB with numerous presentations, portfolio, reports etc. prepares you well for University! Well, one needs to get into the University first! An excellent PS, wonderful recommendations, very impressive and extensive extra curricular activities, a predicted score of above 42 but little time time to prepare for entrance exams as well as filling applications to Ivy league universities, is not going to help to get a place in one of the top universities!!!

UCL give offers to 70% of their interviewees? Source? I know this is true of Imperial but UCL?

Had UCL interview and has a talk from this guy (I think it was the admissions dean, not too sure though ) and he said UCL are interviewing 1000 people this year, giving out 600 offers, so after simple math, it's 60%

But someone who had an interview and the same talk that morning said it was 70%, so whatever the figure it's still quite good.

Shame I messed up the interview

1000 get interviewed?

I hope that is legit, I really do.

Anyway, try not to think about how it went. A good friend of mine had his interview yesterday and felt pretty mixed about how it went, saying it was even a bit awkward at times. They said candidates may hear as soon as Friday with their decisions this week so at least it's a short wait! All the best.

Thanks Umm yea, I should forget about it really, nothing I can do now.
Mine was yesterday too. Did he have it morning or afternoon?

I really wish I was listening when the man said what his name was, so I could see what job he has within UCL. Oh well, hope this means some more of you will get interviews!
