The following is from an FOI response https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/a106_and_a104_interview_scores#incoming-1733969
It looks like a robust, but time consuming, process.
Interview scores are calculated by adding up the individual scores from domains assessed by each interviewer. Within each MMI station interviewers score candidates using a Likert scale-based system (Poor, Borderline, Satisfactory, Good, Excellent). Individual domain scores are translated into numbers and summed across stations to yield a total score for each candidate.
Candidates are then ranked in order of their total score. A score of 76% was sufficient to be considered for offer making for the main cohort of Home/EU applicants in 2020. Please note that consideration does not mean that the applicant will be made an offer (the offer making process is not entirely based on the total score achieved). There is an element of academic judgement involved.
We seek feedback from interviewers and we also look at the profile of scores across interview stations for each candidate. In some cases, interviewers may be asked to discuss a candidate in more detail after the interview.
The examples below should help to explain some of the possible outcomes:
Applicant A: Scores 95%, no concerns raised, no low scores in any station. This applicant would normally receive an offer without further need to review their performance at interview.
Applicant B: Scores a total of 78%, no concerns raised, the profile of scores is even across all stations. This applicant would normally receive an offer.
Applicant C: Scores a total of 80% overall with very high scores in some stations, however, there are profound deficiencies in others. A concern was raised by an interviewer about applicant performance. This applicant will not receive an offer.
Applicant D: Scores 50% overall with major deficiencies in all stations. This applicant will not receive an offer.
we will not normally make offers to applicants who score very low in an MMI station or where interviewers have identified significant concerns about the behaviour of a candidate, even if their total score is above the threshold for consideration.

Thanks for sharing, that’s really useful.

wow, thanks
I emailed asking if interviews would be sent out in batches or all at once and this was the reply. Doesn’t help really at all so not sure if they tell us.

They followed up with another email saying that they r unsure if they will be sending in batches or not this year. So they don’t know themselves either

From looking through their data, if you did badly on one station and well otherwise there is a chance that they will still reject you. Maybe when something is 'poor' then it's an automatic reject?

It think it would have to be something more worrying than missing the point of the station sort of thing. I was told in the briefing that messing up/being poor in one station doesn’t mean you’ll be rejected

It looked to me like you needed to perform poorly in more than 1 to be rejected if you had a high score overall. There was 1 person with 91 which said "Reject" but they don't have any "withdrawn" and there are always some who withdraw when they have offers from their top 2, and it does not see likely that people would have 1 dreadful and the rest brilliant. There were quite a few with scores over 76 who were rejected, but that could be distorted by internationals who may have had a higher cut off. Only 24 people with a score over 80 were rejected.
Sheffield will not make an offer if you score 1 or 2 (out of 5) at a single station.
I did my interview on the 3rd (3 days ago) and they said they know they would usually be sending out interviews by late feb/early March, but obviously they've had to push interview dates further into March due to people who had issues with technology and needed more time. As a result the outcomes will be late, but the admissions officer there (during the briefing) was begging for people to not email the uni bc they would love to send the offers out as soon as possible but its currently out of their hands. So yeah, just 4 more days until its the last interview date, and hopefully a week or so after that we'll all be hearing back! stay patient and hopeful for now
Just got put on reserve list by Sheffield. It's looking like Manchester is my final option. This wait is agonizing

In 2019 everybody on the Sheffield reserve list who did not get another offer by results day was given a Sheffield offer. It depends on who accepts offers and what happens with grades, but lots of reserve list people do get through.
