Don't know what to do

Hey, i was just wondering what UCAT you got because i thought imperials cut off was top 6%?

That's my bad, the Imperial requirement was 3020, I got 3010. I think I was just too tapped out and too upset yesterday and made a slight error in the post (I think 3010 is 93rd percentile?). Still a little tiring tbh.

Ahh no worries! I completely get how you feel tho, i got 3030 in my UCAT and 10 9’s gcse 4A* predicted and an EPQ and got rejected from oxford post interview. I get you in the sense you got so far and to be rejected is such a let down and tbh I’m still not completely over my Oxford rejection. I’ve applied to imperial, UCL and Notts and got interview for all but the amount I’ve sacrificed for oxford has been no joke LOL so i was so upset but it is what it is.
I think its worth asking for feedback form cambridge from your interviews and considering you said you got pooled I’m assuming you were so close just they don’t have the capacity. From oxford, they gave me generic ish feedback but gave me my ranking and mean UCAT score for the college i put as my top option so I think it gave me a better idea of where i was in respect to other candidates. Given that you applied to the best uni in the world and for one of the most competitive, i think it shows that you clearly are good enough just i think a huge lot of luck plays into it as well. Honestly, keep you head up high because you can always reapply another year or even do a masters in the future at oxbridge.
But yeah, as someone who is also tried their best to get the top grades like urself, I completely get how you feel and honestly its something that really makes you doubt your capability but genuinely congratulations for getting this far and keep going for your other interviews.
Would you consider taking a gap year?

Ibr I already got over it, it was just a couple hours of shell-shock yesterday. The plan right now is to see if I get my St Andrew's offer (all my interviews are done already). If I don't get it I'm probably going to take a gap year, work a bit, and reapply to the same unis but replace Imperial with UCL (as long as I don't **** up my UCAT).
As for feedback, Cambridge does feedback letters but those take months. I've already asked my UCAS referee to submit the form to get one because I'm a little curious why they decided I was good enough to pool and still reject 💀
Definitely not doing a gap year if I get an Andrew's offer though. The med admissions process is draining enough, there's no reason to do it all over again to go to a uni I only really like for its city.

hi don’t loose hope. Your amazing and I wish I could get the grades you have😭. Honestly how did you get good predicted grades what was is based on as levels? Also how did you study for the ucat such an amazing score.

I’m curious about why you chose St Andrews; a small town without a teaching hospital (or any hospital) alongside two London medical schools and Cambridge.

I'm a med applicant.
So far all I've received are two rejections from Imperial and Cambridge. I did my interviews for George's and St Andrew's, but honestly everything feels really hopeless after two rejections, one without even an interview (Imperial).
Being rejected point blank with a top 6% UCAT, eleven 9s and 3A* + A* EPQ predicteds in a public school has ruined my perception of what it takes to get into medicine. Being considered "good enough" to be pooled, passed around different colleges, and still being rejected furthers my hurt even more. It feels like no matter how hard I try medicine is genuinely beyond my grasp. I'm just really, really tired at this point.
It's not even related to Imperial and Cambridge specifically, I just feel like these rejections have undermined everything about my own intelligence and capability and it really hurts. Honestly just looking for advice on how others have dealt with these feelings, I don't want to distract myself before actual exams.

Options. Two unis in a familiar location, one further up North and one in Scotland that gives me the opportunity to study in Edinburgh, which is also a great Uni. I'm not particularly attached to location so I just applied to unis where I liked the course and accommodation.

At the end fo the day you only need one offer! Hopefully the news from St George's or St Andrews is positive : )
Just want to say that if it doesn't work out...that's it's alright. I am currently taking a gap year having missed my medicine offer last year, and it has been the most amazing year!! Just keep ploughing through, focus on your A-levels and take control of what you can, and what you can't, just don't worry about it!
