Received interview invite from Oxford today. It seems as per mentioned in the website, for those who has a few less A* in GCSE you can compensate with higher UCAT. So don’t give up so easily.

GCSEs: 6x9, 2x8, 1x7, 1x6
Predicted A-Levels: A*A*A*A*
UCAT: 3460 Band 1

Best of luck everyone!

Received interview invitation from Oxford 25/11: LMH and University.

Congratulations Jonjon7. I am sure you will smash it. Having seen your stats, you are very deserving. I am happy to say I also received an interview for Oxford today :smile:

don’t think the interviews being on consecutive days should disadvantage you, and could even be a good thing as you’ll be ‘in the groove’
(know they are different styles of interview)

That's a good point!! It's basically a week off school because I think I'll be exhausted Thursday and Friday of that week is a half day at my school for the end of term 😅 So lots to catch up at Christmas school-wise but at least I will have done 2/3 interviews I have so far!

Thanks! You too!! I haven't visit Edinburgh's A100 thread in full as yet, have you possibly heard back from them as I remember you applied there.

Not as yet but I remain hopeful! I have received one from QUB so I am halfway there :smile: . Do you have all 4 interview offers?

thank you. The first full test he took using the official UCAT website just to test the water, he got 2800-ish. He practiced using the well known website for UCAT about 5-6 weeks during the summer. Week leading to his actual test he got consistently at around 3200-ish.

If anyone has applied to Newcastle check your junk email. Son had an interview offer yesterday and only found it by chance.

Thanks for the heads up, at least one other student had similar issue. Many had the email going into their spam folder.

Its prudent that all applicants diligently check their spam folders despite unis already advised and pre-warned applicants to do the same.

Wishing your son the very best for his interview.

Thanks, there were only a few slots left, so hopefully most did get their invites

Belated congrats to your son's Edgehill invitation too!
