Would my conditional offer be BBC if I get an offer? or would it be AAB

I'm pretty sure it would be BBC. That's the standard conditional offer they give for this course

Don't know about that specific stat but they may be referring to the acceptance rate pre-interview I.E. out of everyone who applied, the percentage of people given offers.

On their website, they give the following info:

''While the Medicine with a Foundation Year (A108) has:

had 187 to 345 applicants meet the entry criteria
interviewed 100 to 125 applicants
made 53 to 65 offers
about 27 places for home students''


If we take the minimum amount of offers made which is 53 and divide it by the maximum amount of people that have met the entry requirements which is 345 we get around a 15% success rate. That percentage will undoubtedly be higher if you don't factor in people who do not make it to the interview stage.

Hope this helps

Wherever rlly, I’ve heard Notts use lots of role play and ethical scenarios so it will be good for that.

Ok does tomorrow 6-7 PM work because I know some people have got interviews this week? I was thinking Microsoft Teams would probably be best since that's the platform they're going to use in the actual thing so it's probably good practice.

Anyways, I've set up a Teams link for anyone available tomorrow so we can go through some practice questions specific to Notts.

We can’t because it goes against the TSR rules to advertise any sort of gc.
I’m the host so anyone who joins for anything other than interview preparation then I can remove them from the teams meeting so there shouldn’t be a problem.
