Edinburgh Medical School A100 MBChB 2026!!!

Hi Everyone,
I thought this would be a nice page for all of us Edinburgh applicants to discuss our UCAT scores, interview prep and strategies, and overall prospects!

Hey people, has everyone managed to sign up to the EUCLID application portal for Edi? I got the first email saying that they would send me details of how to log in in the second email, but I still don't have a second email yet. Is this the same for anyone else?

I think once they have our UCAT scores

Do you know how many interviews Edinburgh does?

As of last year, there were 1909 applications and then 839 interviews. Of these, 585 offers were given out with 290 students being placed.
Interestingly, there were almost twice as many female applicants than male applicants (1216 vs 673 female to male), this trend continuing in the number of interviews (564 vs 266 female to male) and the offers (383 vs 196 female to male).
I'll send a link to the document I'm getting the info from here, but as a general rule, if you are Scottish and get an interview at Edi, chances are you'll get in. For RUK and international applicants, the chances are much lower, and the ucat score needed is much higher.

No, I just meant the first email they send out confirming your application. I hadn't got it yet and everyone else I knew had, so I had to email them to get the details resent. It was just the one on how to log into the EUCLID portal.

I'll need to email too, as I haven't received my login details for EUCLID either! Did they respond to you quickly & has anything further arrived?

Do Plus Flag RUK candidate at Edinburgh Med School get interviewed sooner i.e. in November or at same time as other RUK or Scottish home candidates? Also, I take it that everyones assessment day will be in person?
Anyone else feeling really nervous?

I heard it directly from Edinburgh that there is no particular order for ucat, contextual etc. However, they do usually invite Scots to interview first.
I think this is the same for all Scottish uni's but i don't know much about St. Andrews.
Why the nerves?

Thanks, so could be any time in Nov-Dec-Jan! Nervous as not sure what to expect

Yeah usually invites to interview in November (I and others have gotten an email saying we will get an email deciding who to invite to interview on 14th of November, just not sure what date the actual interview will be on yet)

Wonder if we can choose dates or we're given a date for interview...I understand it's a half-day process including campus tour

When I was applying there was a list of dates that you could chose your preference from. There are morning and afternoons slots.

Would you rather have your interview earlier (early December for example), or later (late January-February) if you had the choice?
