From cambridge? or from a med school?

I would hope this is true for all 4 choices (if i dont get any offers out of 4, i will be asking questions)

However i seriously think there's no predicting the Cambridge decision. It's so competitive, and there is a bit of luck involved, and not everyone can get an offer.

I think everyone on this thread has a reasonable chance.

To be fair though, interviews are a bit of luck at the end of the day.

Everyone's nervous, and it depends on what questions you get. I mean, some really good applicants will get rejected, and some not so good applicants will get in.

Generally though, the admissions process is good.

It still doesn't stop luck from playing a part.

For instance, really good applicants may not get a chance to show how good they are. Not so good applicants, however, may get questions which they've all prepared for and just be lucky.
