University of Southampton A102 (BM6) 2022 Entry

Seems like it, but if we just take those interviewed into account (for 2020 entry) then it's about 60% to get an offer! Much nicer than the 25% in the previous years, but the amount rejected was not far off (around 70 in 2020 but around 90 in previous years)

Best of luck to you! :h:

Sorry, what do you mean by 60%? Really?? Wow that’s a lot better! Isn’t it Lower if last years is taken into account? I don’t get it 😭
But best of luck to you too if you have an interview & thank you :smile:

For 2020 entry, out of 178 people interviewed 109 recieved an offer (that's 60%)! For 2019, 18 and 17, 120 people were interviewed and an average of 30 recieved offers (so about 25%).

Looking at that, it seems like they started to interview a lot more people starting from 2020 entry (perhaps the spaces they had on the course increased or it's something covid related?) No idea why, but considering how there were roughly 140-200 spots on the booking and most have been filled, the amount of applicants interviewed seems similar to 2020 entry. This part's an educated guess though, but I hope it's helpful

Also thank you! I do have an interview too so I hope we can all do well here! :emog:

Yes but all med schools have been warned not to give out any extra spaces so they are really cracking down i think this year cannot be compared to previous years

That’s great!! Fingers crossed for us all :smile:

but 109? Wow! I hope it is similar this year and that there are more spaces on the BM6 course, I did hear they gave out more offers than previous years but I thought it was only about 10 more as they couldn’t exceed the limit too much

Actually that's a really good point! I guess we can only try our very best and hope it's a good outcome :h:

Yeah it seems like a lot more were given out compared to past years. Whether they'll be similar stats this year we'll have no idea, but we can only do our very best in the end :h:

You request it under the Freedom of Information Act to a particular email (so not the usual admissions email, there is a specific one) which deals which with this paticular stuff :h:

I’m just going over my 3 question answers and my personal statement. Also going over basic ethics and some wider current reading/ like current medical advancements and cons and pros to the NHS etc

The BM6 questions we had to fill, the form had 3 questions each with a max of 200 words which we sent with our answers. One of the questions were ‘What motivates you to study medicine?’

It’s just a panel interview - on the website it said they weren’t going to do group tasks this year.

This is going to be my first medicine interview and I’m not feeling good about it either :frown:

Last years group didn’t have a group interview either and lots of the people actually found the interview great. They said the interviewers were really nice and praised them a lot. And I’m predicting they are going to ask a lot of personal questions - based on our personal statement and the 3 questions. Hopefully it goes really well for everyone because we deserve it after all of this !!

Just wondering, where did you read that they said they weren't doing a group task this year.

https://www.southampton.ac.uk/medicine/undergraduate/selection_day_dates.page

'The selection day process usually includes an interview and group task.' I took this from their website
