Also wondering whether anyone has received an invite yet - I applied to St Edmund's and haven't heard anything since I submitted my SAQ

I think last year invites came out mid Dec. They've started giving out invites for A100 tho so idk why so much longer for us when no BMAT to consider!
Pre-interview rejection from Lucy Cavendish, good luck all!

Really sorry to hear that and best of luck with the rest of your applications!
Did you hear from college or med department? I emailed Wolfson yesterday about interviews and they said they wouldn't tell us until mid Dec...
Thanks guys, best of luck to you too :smile: It was a shot in the dark given my A-Level grades but thankfully I’ve received 2 offers so still feeling good about my chances!

The email is from Lucy Cavendish but says the following:

This decision is being communicated to you by the College to which you applied, or the one to which you were allocated if you are an Open applicant. However, it comes from and on behalf of the University of Cambridge and all four of the Colleges which admit to the Graduate Course in Medicine, the admissions for which are administered collectively.

Has anyone on here received an invite yet? It appears like maybe they are doing rejections first?

Sorry for everyone who has received a rejection so far, i know what it's like from last year. I hope your other applications are going well.

Got this email from Wolfson yday

I think we might only get decisions about shortlisting for interview finalised and sent in mid-December (applications have been assessed within Colleges but the lists still need to be moderated across Colleges).

However we do have provisional dates for interview which are Tuesday 31st January and Wednesday 1st February 2023

So looks like the colleges have done initial shortlist and now these need to be checked across colleges
Has anyone heard from hughes ?

Ah ok, thanks for sharing that, so potentially a couple more weeks to wait then to hear either way.
