Call Plymouth to reassure yourself. My daughter hadn’t registered that she’d not had an acknowledgment email from Newcastle until I was putting her details on this thread last Friday evening. When she called them on Monday they confirmed they had her application, but they have a new system for deferral candidates and she only got an email from them today! If your other unis have acknowledged then there shouldn’t be anything wrong. It’s a stressful enough year without fretting over unnecessary stuff so call to double check on Monday :smile:

Thanks, I will give them a ring on Monday. Good luck to your daughter with her application!

If your UCAS account show the application had been sent to Plymouth, the med school is bound to have received it. Though it will be reassuring just to buzz them to double check for acknowledgement after you have gone thru spam folders. It will be just fine!

Thank you - and to you! I wish there were more places and that excellent & very capable applicants wouldn’t have to be rejected. Good luck to everyone - hope you all feel proud of your attributes, achievements and efforts, whatever the outcome🤞

It bores down to government in how much they wish to invest in training medical doctors. I'm not keen in politics but for the past 14yrs, it was plain to see that NHS have been decimated by the previous government - yes, the argument they started off with was they inherited 0 in treasury from Gordon Brown....I am not saying the current government would be worst or better neither, will have to wait and see. Hoping for the latter.

The other factor I have observed is the management level of NHS, which in many way totally redundant - NHS has this bunch of non-medical professionals who are trying to manage NHS without understanding the issues both in frontline and daily medicinal care. It's far easier to train a qualified doctor to go into leadership management over getting any accountant, financier (no offence to any of this profession) to manage NHS sitting from their high horse. Just how much money had been wasted, which could be used to train more doctors??

From the released UCAS stats, there seems to be a growing decline of aspiring medics to be honest, or at least back to pre-pandemic level.
