Thank you for pointing this out.
In that case, some who have already had their interview might have had offers?

Yeah I guess they could have :smile:

but I thought they didn’t score ppl altogether and set a threshold...so how are they confident that applicants whose application has not been reviewed might be a stronger applicant then someone who has been given an offer ?

Because they set an insanely high threshold that <1% of applicants will achieve

How did they do this without looking at EVERYONES applications ? If they looked at UCAT and GCSES heavily than I could understand as it would be pretty simple to assess however it’s R R form heavy, which isn’t something u can set a threshold on....

Yes, they can - if R and R is out of 30 (hypothetical) they could set 30 as a threshold and everyone who scores full marks gets interviewed. After they've marked everyone's applications they set a second threshold and invite all those above that. It's pretty simple how they do it as it's only 1 marking criteria not multiple eg. GCSE, UCAT etc.

I did my interview in November... does that mean it's more likely I'll have to wait until March for an offer?
