No problem at all, my apologies. I don't know anything about Edinburgh so I cannot comment. My main issue was with the fact that people come on here to say ''Hey guys, I heard someone somewhere got an interview for this uni'' - It's quite unnecessary, and it causes a lot of people to stress out for no reason. I'm a reapplicant, and this exact same thing happened last year on almost all of our forums, because people didn't have anything better to do. Sure if you yourself got an interview, feel free to tell us and we will congratulate! But otherwise it's a pointless thing to say.

no worries, i understand. this is my first time applying and lowkey its stressing me out too 😭
i've seen a bunch of people who were probably trolling on here and just felt kind of bad when someone who was probably telling the truth was being accused of it

Alright guess they lied sorry for the misinformation deleted the previous messages

I had it confirmed in email that I qualify for a guaranteed interview from Bristol and I haven’t heard anything yet and I’m guessing these would be the first invited to be sent, that would make sense.

I have been invited to interview yesterday by BSMS and today by Exeter though so really pleased so far 😊

Why would you be qualified for a guaranteed interview, @Hal2025 confirmed on here that no interviews have been sent out. Can you sent us a copy and paste of parts if that email?

some students get guaranteed interviews to certain courses, depending on different contextual data - such as where you live or where you went to school, etc. Bristol used to give guaranteed interviews to students who live in Bristol, and I think this is still the case. They weren't suggesting they got invited to an interview yet, rather Bristol have confirmed that they do fall under that widening participation criteria that are eligible for guaranteed interviews. Nothing to worry about.

I qualify for a guaranteed interview because I am doing an access to medicine course as a mature student. This is stated on their website if you’d like proof, I don’t need to copy and paste my email lol.

As I said, I still haven’t heard anything, and I would presume guaranteed interviews would be the first ones sent out. So I am agreeing no interviews have been sent out…

Hey I was wondering if you could tell me how you emailed them to confirm your guaranteed interview because I'd like to confirm with universities that I applied to that do guaranteed interviews to take the stress off my mind. And how you were eligible for the guaranteed interview by which I mean if it was purely contextual or a scheme you did.

Hiya

I just contacted the admissions team via email they were super helpful! I’d imagine they’re inundated atm with emails though so might take a little while for a response.

Bristol offer a guaranteed interview scheme for any mature students who are studying an access to medicine course (which I am) and I saw this on their website so this was how I knew.
