Wait listed for Brighton Medicine

7

Hello, I am contextual applicant and I got wait listed for Brighton (Med) because of my UCAT score. As it says in the emil I was just below the UCAT cut off. And I don’t know if I should be optimistic or not. Would there still be a chance that I might get an interview? And do you know anyone who got in and was wait listed?

It is better than nothing and the more applicants they reject, the more chance you will have of receiving an invite to interview. Just remember the invite may come later on as the last date for interviews is in March.
Best of luck and I hope you do get an invite!

They wouldn't bother doing this unless there was a chance of you getting an interview - try not to stress about it.

If you are on the cut off score then you will get an invite as that will be last person they have selected.
