Congratssss! Me too! I really thought I didn't pass the interview at first.
Btw do you know where I can find people who have/ are interested in a group chat for those who have a 2025 Notts offer and are firming Notts?

Congrats!! Not really sure ngl, maybe make your own forum and see who replies to it?

What type of maths questions were given? E.g dilution, concentration, percentage

Sorry, I shouldn't reveal any specific details. You really don't need to stress too much about the maths.

Hi Guys,

I've been reading through this thread, and I'm a little worried about my application. I sent it off just last week, while many seemed to have sent them a month or two ago. Also, my grades aren't the best, at ABB, and I'd really like to hear back from Birmingham, but not sure if I'll hear back considering I have one grade lower, and also sent in my application very recently. I'd like to know if you think its still likely for me to receive interviews offers, specifically Birmingham or other Russel Group unis considering my grades compared to others. Sorry if this comes off as beggish, but it's been worrying me a lot thinking about it 😭😭

On top of mangosmoothie's reply, when in doubt you can always email the uni directly to be extra sure.

is there anyone who is predicted AAB who got an interview at one or more of the following unis: manchester, birmingham, newcastle, reading, or nottingham?
although i do meet the entry requirements and have super-curriculars mentioned in my personal statement e.g. pharmacy work experience, lead a medical club, tutor etc. i'm stressed about the competition against other candidates predicted higher than me and if thats the key factor in unis giving others an interview, as i've also heard from multiple people that pharmacy is very competitive

don’t stress at all, i’ve got an offer from birmingham with ABB, and A in epq but still arguably not as good as AAB!

Hii!! i am resitting and it depends on where u have applied - less competitive schools will be faster so places like ucl will take much longer it can range from a few days to weeks but definitely dont worry too much, good luck on resits!
