Hi there,

Take a breath. What you are seeing is normal. Non-medicine courses often make rolling decisions and send offers within days, so your friends in biomed or bioengineering may hear back quickly. Medicine works differently. Schools batch applications after the 15 October deadline, score UCAT, shortlist, and then invite to interview. Most interview invites land from late October through January, interviews run from November to March, and offers are released after interview from December into April. Silence now does not signal a rejection.

For now, keep an eye on your UCAS Hub and spam folder, review each university’s interview format and criteria, and begin steady interview preparation around motivation for medicine, ethical scenarios, NHS basics, role play, and reflections from your work experience. Keep your academic work strong and jot quick reflections from any volunteering so you have fresh examples ready. You submitted on time and you are inside the normal window. Focus on preparation and let the timelines play out. You are doing the right things.

Good luck,
Daniel

Medical schools don't make offers until after interview normally.

Whether someone else got an offer for a non-medicine course is irrelevant.

Unis are required by their contract with UCAS to consider all applicants who submit their application before the equal consideration deadline on equal grounds.

You have as much chance of getting an offer as anyone else with the same profile.

If you're going to start panicking a mere 3 days after the early deadline you're going to burn out well before you even get to your A-level exams much less start the degree.

The unis only even start looking at your application in November btw, as the Ucat scores only get sent to them in novmber so dont worry everything is fine , and yes people i know have also already got offeres for courses like biochem at cardiff because some courses and some unis give out offers very early within like a week after looking at you personal statement and your predicts as thats all they need to see and they dont have interviews !

As above, chill out.

You are doing a different course to them, one that requires interviews. To decide who gets an interview, they need your ucat score, which the uni's still have not received.

As a general rule, no news is good news, so focus on interview prep for now.
Best of luck.
