Does any one mind sharing if they are international or their GAMSAT score?

Hi, I am hoping to apply for Scotgem for 2025 entry and was wondering if anyone could give me some idea of my chances of getting in and/or give some advice on how to improve my chances.
I have a 2.1 Scots Law and Economics degree from Glasgow uni, an A in advanced higher biology and an A in higher chemistry. I live in Dumfries and Galloway and my hope is to become a GP in this area. I don’t really have any relevant experience so I know this is something I will need to get started on asap, and I am hoping to sit the GAMSAT in September. I was just wondering whether the fact that my degree isn’t science-related and I won’t have significant experience will result in my application being disregarded, given that entry is extremely competitive?

You don't need a science degree to be considered for Scotgem, as long as yout gain some relevant work experience and a decent GAMSAT score you have a competitive application

How was your interview?
I am wondering if being in the third batch for interview is a bad thing.. have they invited the ones they wanted in the previous batches?

I think the interview went well, it was more relaxed than I thought.. don't think it matters when your interview us, getting an interview is the important part! And not sure what you mean by your second question regarding inviting the ones from the previous batch?
