Newcastle was my only application. My family and I aren't in a position to relocate. I just hope they give me good news as a reward for this feat of patience!

sooo painful 😭 have either of you heard from anywhere else yet?

Southampton is my other option - haven't heard back from them yet (post-interview) but should be a bit later than Newcastle I expect...

It's all hanging on A101. :eek:

My partner's income means I wouldn't qualify for much in the way of loans, and while his salary is good, it's not good enough to cover med school fees on top of the mortgage and all the other expenses that will accrue once I'm no longer working full-time. I'd be massively stressed about our finances if I did A100, which would probably hurt my learning.

I had a similar thought process. I just wouldn't be able to afford any A100 courses. That's also why Newcastle is so tempting - it's by far the cheapest place to live out of all the ones I applied to. Good luck!

Cheers, good luck to you too! Definitely Newcastle 1st choice - but interview at Southampton went much better I think. Which interview did you prefer?

neither of my interviews felt very good to be honest! I may have thought the Southampton interview went okay if it weren’t for the fact that everyone seems to think theirs went well 🥴 tbh I just can’t stop thinking about what I wish I’d said differently or what I wish I’d added 😭 Southampton is my top choice though, Newcastle would be great but it’s so far from home for me!

Yeah seems as though Southampton interviewers were very friendly to everyone so it's so hard to tell haha. I think Southampton normally send out offers mid-March ish?

A curveball has been thrown to me in the form of an interview for a band 6/7 development post in CAMHS. A 9 to 5 working day for that salary sounds very attractive right now. I hope Newcastle gets in touch before the interview, because if I end up with two yeses I'm going to be a quivering indecisive blancmange.

last year I thought undergrads came a couple weeks after grads but I could definitely be wrong

People on the five-year thread are reporting that their offers have started. Eeeek!

Edit: I've just seen you were posting in response to this. I hope it's not a gap of weeks. My nerves are like overtightened piano wires.
