Graduate entry medicine - Bristol

[sam86_2000]

Your're not alone, I had an interview on the 22nd also for the 4yr, and they said it should be 2-3 weeks wait for a decision. Its now over three weeks and the wait is doing my head in! Hopefully good news will be on the way soon.

Does anyone have an offer? I got an offer about 2 weeks ago, my interview was on 12th Feb. I didnt get much of a feel for the course on the interview day though, it did seem much more that Bristol catered for Undergrads rather than grads.

Congrats gradmedhopeful on getting offer!!! do u have any other offers???
I have not heard yet are they still consdiering applications??
I dont know any one apart from you who has got an offer for GEM.

Btw, did u get an email offer or letter offer or ucas track update first??

[gradmedhopeful]

Thanks. I also have an offer from Birmingham. And two rejections.

I think I got an email first, certainly not a letter. Keep your fingers crossed, there doesnt seem any logic as to when they tell people. My problem is that birmingham and bristol are very different courses- birm is pbl and bristol is much more sit down lectures. I like bristol as a place a lot though. ufff. good luck for your outcomes.

Has anyone who's waiting for a decision either pre or post interview had an email from Bristol regarding delays in processing applications?? I received an email last Thursday stating they've had some delays and not all applicants will receive a decision by the 31st of March (UCAS deadline). I also know that they are having an extra interview day - in April, not sure of the date...! I'm a Bristol undergrad so I'm desperately trying to find out what's going on...!

Gradmedhopeful - congrats on your offer, I know of one other person who has a Bristol GEP offer! To be honest Bristol is very much an undergrad uni, but I've heard that they do support the GEPs, it's just not until you get here....rather than the interview day!

any one else who had interview for GEP heard yet?!?!

Ive not heard anything and getting worried, now that the cycle is all most over

Hi there, just been browsing your post and noticed you said you had offers for Bristol and Birmingham. Am a 2nd year biomed student at Plymouth and applying for graduate entry medicine 2011. I was just wondering what your offer was based on - what GCSEs, A-levels, Degree class (predicted or achieved) and what degree, and UKCAT scores? I know it's rather personal but just curious as to what they gave you an offer based on. Congratulations on achieving offers. Regards, Simon

Hey all, I got an email from Bristol in the middle of march saying that this year they are not going to be able to meet their deadline of 31 march. Their last scheduled interview for medicine was March 26 but they will hold another one in april time and will let people know early april...
