Kent and Medway Medical School A100 2021 entry

Not really, a grad said they got a Casper invite with 2510

hey i go to a grammar school too but i’ve gotten an interview so i’m not sure

You are right. For graduates, i think it was close to 2600

I guess I should be expecting a rejection in the mail soon as I did terrible this year and got 2460.

youve probs got contextual stuff

No because KMMS said that they may send out Casper invites later on in the year - no news means good news 👍

kent considers so many factors... So someone here got rejected with Phd & over 2500 so🤷*♂️

Really not clear how they selected then 🤔

i don’t :/

what were your stats

what were your stats

NEVERMIND my gcse school was an academy my sixth form is grammar and ask they’re looking at my gcses i guess i would be classed as going to an academy

lmao, where else did you apply with your predictions, only asking cos i got those predictions
and applied to kent, HYMS, sunderland and liverpool

kent, keele, liverpool and i got rejected form hyms like a week or two ago

do keele accept aab?
also arent keele basically like sunderland anyway lmao
both do r and r forms dont they?

keele doesn’t look at predicted grades i think!! but yes they both do the r and r form

They don’t consider postgraduate qualifications, only undergraduate so unfortunately your PhD won’t have counted/been assessed for interview stage. If your undergraduate degree isn’t largely science-based, that will likely be why.

I’m in the same boat and have a social science undergrad with some psychology and a science/health-related Masters. I contacted them in advance of applying to ask about my Masters and they said it wouldn’t be considered at all.

Thanks for this info freemango. Indeed, my PhD is not considered and KMMS have noted this is the case. However, I have also systematically been through the undergraduate academic transcript, and I calculated the percentage of 'Biology, Biomedical sciences, Psychology or Biosciences' as about 80%; which seems (albeit speculatively) at least similar to several of the example degrees accepted in last year’s cohort. In defence of KMMS, my undergraduate degree title may not immediately reflect this ('Ergonomics', which is often linked with engineering). Nevertheless, the degree acceptability process should at least involve a transcript review, and an objective evaluation against other degrees accepted in that cycle (or pre-set criteria), which is this instance, has not been the case.

I am still in dialog with KMMS and contemplating the next steps. To be very honest, as I am not satisfied with the objectivity or rigour of the decision process based on the feedback received... But also, not sure if have the time/ desire to e.g. formally complain/appeal or request an independent review in the matter. I say that, but part of me also feels that selection processes into medical school (generally) needs to be objective, accountable, and transparent, thus, it is perhaps important to challenge these processes, even if I know it will not change the outcome....
