Barts and the London Entry 2010

**Apricot** · 11-02-2010, 10:27 PM

I just called and they confirmed it was 665. They said it was all lies anyone with less than 665 has already been interviewed UNLESS THEY WERE INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS. They are not subject to the 665.

FAIR??

Congrats to those with offers!! I had my interview on Jan 28th as well, and they told me 'probably 3 weeks' when I called, so I wasn't expecting anything this week..but getting quite nervous now as I haven't heard anything yet :S i don't feel like it went that well though so I guess I could well be looking at a rejection, just hope they get it over with soon! :S

I think the 665 may reflect the number of non-international student applying - if they take the top 20% to look at and that give a cut-off of 665, then take the top 20% of international students, they may get a lower cutoff because of the smaller numbers applying, in order to look at enough applicants.

Above all, I doubt this cut off point for the UKCAT is an absolute requirement. Would they really turn away applicants whose application is otherwise fantastic?

Surely they would reject everyone with a score below the cutoff. That's sort of the point of a cutoff, isn't it?

Rippy, you're right..even if people fail to meet their offers or reject barts, they'll put people above that cut-off on the waiting list, nobody below

The only way that'd change is if they under-offered so badly they cleared their entire waiting list of people above the cut-off, pretty unlikely
