Graduate applicant....still no news!!!

[lollie22]

Can someone please offer any advice regarding aberdeen applications?I am a graduate with a 2.1 in Biomedical science and an Msc Molecular medicine and still no news! I'm holding on to the 'no news is good news' mantra but beginning to get anxious as I feel the time is running out to get interviewed!

I wouldn't worry lollie,
I am applying as a grad and I only got my interview invite on thursday, so could just be making their way through the graduate applications just now.
Have you got interviews for anywhere else at the moment?

No, nothing yet unfortunately. U?? I applied for two graduate programs and two five year programs. I'm very worried incase I don't get accepted again (i applied last yr but messed up ukcat). My degree classification is high (69%) but my ukcat is bordering average. What are your grades?

[nicnac-87]

Just Aberdeen for me at the moment, I have recieved 2 rejections but i'm not really surprised, and they wouldnt have been my 1st choices anyway.
My UKCAT was pretty poor tbh, lets just say less than 600, I never bothered with the grad programs as I wouldnt have had a look in with my score, but I think I would prefer to do the extra year as it is better paced and I feel I would cope better with it.
I am in my final year at the moment, but I am predicted to get a 2:1
I wouldn't give up hope yet... theres still plenty of time.

Hope so!!

I want to do the 5 year also. Wish I heard from Aberdeen!! Its my first choice. Only time will tell eh!

Good luck with ur interview. Let me no how it was!!

im not quite sure how we can advise you? but id bet alot of people still havnt had interviews yet, they officially interview till about april? but they usually do them thro the summer too. just hav to wait, nothing else u can do.

not heard anything either, i'll be a post-grad student but i've not finished my degree yet. I'm hoping that no news is good, i only just got my interview for st. andrews yesterday and that's the first bit of news i got since edinburgh rejected me back in November.

[lollie22]

Ur lucky, an interview is half the battle!!! You easily swing it from there. Good luck!!

I was checking my aberdeen application today on the portal system and seen that it has changed to amber on the traffic lights!! Does this mean that they are gonna contact me soon regardless.

I REALLY want an interview!!!!!!!!!!!

[GlasweJen]

what portal? is this like the MyED portal that edinburgh have? I've never even had an acknowledgement from them.

[Yosuis]

Yep GlasweJen it's just like the MyED thing, give them a phone or something, I got an acknowledgement a few weeks after applying...Here's the link you jsut need your birthday and your UCAS applicant no to login
