Has anyone below 2900 got an interview?

not yet, but they still have a lot of interview slots to fill

Just to update. Today one received interview invite (home - non contextual) another hasn’t received (international).

i’ve been seeing so many people on here getting offers and i’m getting a bit worried it will be too late for me to get one soon?
i have a 3000 band 1 ucat and 10x grade 9 1x grade 8 at gcse
a*a*a for a-level predicted
i have applied to deferred entry so maybe that is why?
just wanted to check if anyone had any info as i’m getting a bit stressed waiting?

Same I’m waiting too…
2960 band 1 10A* GCSE and 4A* predicted
Is there a final date where they stop sending invites?

Reply 184

Trying to confirm the validity of few applicants on reditt who claimed to have received UCL interview at 2870 B2, non contextual....

Reply 185

I think they are still sending invitations… as one that is still waiting UCAT is 32xx band 1 and all 9 GCSEs.

The invites seem to be sent out randomly by ucl. Dw hopefully ur interview invite is on the way if u r a home student lots of other students with a lower ucat score have received an invite. For ucl: If ur international they haven't sent out that many invites and the interviws run all the way into feb~ international applicants interviews are scheduled at a later date than for home students. If ur contextual ~ u can be even more relaxed. Stay strong and calm ur ucat score is blazing 🔥
Also for medicine i still haven't heard any offers for medicine at ucl maybe for other unis such as brunel and maybe for other majors at ucl but not med~ i havent heard from anyone nor has any posted on tsr/reddit/the groups.
I also applied for deffered year and from what i concluded off of all the things i read that applying for deffered year doesnt effect ur chance for being accepted at ucl. ~ its better if u double check the website for the exact wording.
Good luck 🌟

has anyone else just received an email from UCL saying thank you for applying (my application was sent in and received by UCL back in October) and it says medicine applicants must take the BMAT exam? im hoping this is a mistake on their side and it is actually the UCAT we have to take but just want to double check!!

Yh I got that too. It sounds like the outdated acknowledgement email. They already sent me an acknowledgement email weeks ago which makes it weirder

There's this new community called Doctri on skool.com. I found it through Facebook. It's basically a community where you can connect with other people who have the same interviews as you. They do specific MMI mocks too and I did one for Warwick graduate entry and it was extremely good. They have MMI questions of the day every day. PM for details 😀

Be careful of connecting with people on this kind of site who have done the interviews at the place you are going to. Sharing details of interviews will be dealt extremely harshly by universities who are likely to remove any offer they give you. This also applies to people on the website who will have signed a NDA. Basically, you are not allowed to cheat. Do not risk yourself being accused of doing so!

As a grad predicted a 2.1 and a ucat of 2720, is it unlikely that I’ll receive an interview?
I put UCL as an aspirational choice.

Not too sure with grad's selection criteria though for current yr13 students, the lowest seen/reported stats so far was 2870/B2. Grad cutoff are usually higher.

Which other med schools have you applied for?

Ah, yeah I thought it was risky but wanted to give it a go.
ARU, St George’s which I have interviews for.
Still waiting to hear back from QMUL and UCL.

Great that you have 2 interviews to go to, well done! All the best for these two!!

There is quite a lot of suspense with QMUL atm, one of the busiest thread so far on TSR.
