I got an email back saying no vacanices.
As the rest of the unis I applied to said.(glasgow, dundee, edinburgh,)

(Just so you know I was rejected from all four of my uni choices without interview)

So I emailed all uk med schools, none of them had any vacancies as expected.

I then emailed my four scottish unis on the 12th as I had found out that the unis hold waiting lists, and said if any vacancies came up when A level results were published I would be happy if they could consider me.
Heard nothing.
On the 19th Aberdeen emailed me asking me to come for an interview on the 25th.
Interview - An hour long grilling with senior admissions officer and Dr Kath Greaves.
And by fri 28th they offered me a place in medicine.
I knew it was a miracle!.. but after seeing this thread it seems as if their was a big waiting list.. even more of a miracle!

This makes me want to cry!

Congratulations though.

Congrats, this just proves that sometimes it pays to be persistent

Less than 3 more weeks remaining, folks xD Make sure u think of something creative 2 wear for beerientering - there's no quitting, u either drop unconscious from excess of alcohol or reach the final challenge :P
