I'm not sure whether I need to submit supplementary forms. I am UK, non-contextual, no extenuating circumstance, so should be fine right

Hi all, apologies for not getting back on the thread until now! If it's of any reassurance, acknowledgment emails from ourselves to applicants of all subjects only started going out this week. Hopefully most of you will have the confirmation emails now/be receiving them in the next week and apologies for any anxiety caused in the meantime.

At this stage all the information we will be needing is what is included in your application. Please be assured that if we need anything further for any reason we will be in contact about this!

Hi, I haven’t received a confirmation email yet. However, I wanted to confirm whether fee status is calculated immediately or will a fee status questionnaire be sent out to assess this? I’m an Eu citizen with Eu settled status in the UK. Other Scottish universities have given me questionnaires to determine that I am Home Scottish status. Does Aberdeen do something similar to determine my status? Thank you.

Do we know when invites to interview will be sent and if dates are set yet?

Hi, so I went to your open day in October for medicine, and asked the head of admissions (I think she said she was head, sorry if not!) about SJT banding. She said that they've ditched their thing with not considering band 4 s, just haven't updated their website. However nothing has changed on their website, and I haven't seen anything since to tell me I didn't just dream up what she said. I'm sure she did say that though, but I guess maybe not

Hi all, apologies for not getting some responses out to you until now! So for fee status; if we require further information, we will send you an email either asking for evidence of your immigration status or ask you to fill in a fee questionnaire. The information you provided on your UCAS application will largely inform how your fee status is determined but you can query this later if you think you've been put in the wrong category.

Universities have only just received the UCAT scores and we are still assessing applications so we don't have an exact timeline to provide at this stage. Invites will be sent out as soon as possible in the forthcoming weeks, and we have a rough timeline of stages here: https://www.abdn.ac.uk/smmsn/undergraduate/medicine/application-process.php
