2010 Applicants/Interviews

[Chloeee02]

Congrats......btw if you dont mind hows ur grades, ukcat etc?

8A*s and 2.5As at GCSE. Got AAAABC at AS level, predicted A*AAB at A level.
UKCAT average is 702.5.
I didn't think GCSEs and A levels were quite so important for graduate entry applicants anyway?

U're right, they're not very important.

@zammi - if you're a grad, you only need to meet the A-levels requirements (not necessarily exceed them), and you only compete against other grads for your spot on the course - therefore knowing the school leavers' grades will be of little use to you. In a grad application, your previous degree and work experience / non-academic résumé matter more than pre-university grades. UKCAT, as mentioned many times on the forum, is totally irrelevant unless you're in a tie for the last spot on the course with someone else.

Hey, don't panic, I got an offer just yesterday and I know several people in my chemistry class who haven't heard yet but aren't sweating it-they can ignore you practically til May so keep your chin up

[Lonely Llama]

Well done, at least you've had an interview..............................
An offer doesn't make you an applicant any more SO GET OFF THIS THREAD :P (hint of jelousy?)

Hey PsyChirurgus, I was interviewed on the 2nd of Feb and wasn't expecting a) an offer or b) for it to come so soon! It's conditional on my A-Level Chem grade which I'm doin in one year. I can understand your impatience, I still havent heard a single thing from leeds!

Hey, I'm also doing chemistry (and biology a levels) all in one year too at a night college. If I get offered, it would be AB in Bio and chem. I still need to work hard to get the grades but hmm..
