Just wondering how everyone got on with their ESAT and what scores they got? I'm not sure I'll even get an interview :frown:

Mine were awful too except for biology which I did better than I thought I would. What college have you applied to out of interest? 😊

That's really good well done especially the biology!
Maths: 2.8 Chem: 3.2 Bio: 5.5 overall not great so don't think I'll get an interview unofrtunately. Just hoping the don't weight the ESAT too highly.

Thanks so much, I think if you get an interview that will be weighted much more highly than anything else but the whole process is holistic so I wouldn’t lose hope for getting an interview. Plus those results are definitely not as bad as you think, bio in particular is probably around too 25% (tho I haven’t checked) and the rest of your application may make up for being slightly below average. You should still be really proud of yourself this is a crazy hard test and that’s a huge achievement.

Not great :/ Most people I've spoken to about theirs haven't been happy either.
You did really well, especially on bio :smile:)

If you are eligible for free school meals, live in a poor area, various socio economic grounds etc

Hey! I’m a 4th Year Cambridge Vet and I'm running a free Oxbridge bioscience admissions webinar tomorrow 6-7pm and thought it might be helpful to some of you. I’ll go over interview tips and questions, how to answer them and what makes a strong applicant.
If you want to join, just send me a message. No pressure at all - it's free and I just thought I’d share in case it’s useful.
