I dont think Track updates on interviews, just on offers or rejections. I'm staying positive as no rejection yet!  |

so, I've nervously checked again and no updates...
I suppose at least we know interviews are on 21st/22nd Jan, not that long to find out the first part.

No change for me either... I wish they would put me out of my misery if it's just going to be a "no" anyway!!!

To be fair, King's GEP course is possibly the single most oversubsubscribed course out there

hmmmm....the world of medical school admissions is intriguing indeed!
Seems that each school has totally different criteria. I don't think the UKCAT is the be-all and end-all...I've seen people with extremely high scores not get interviews, and I've also seen on one of the blogs, someone had 650 and has an interview at Oxford. I've also seen people have interviews at Oxford and Cambridge, and have flat out rejections from other schools.
I think each school looks for different things, and they seem to use the UKCAT in different ways - some use it as the first point of screening, while others use it as the last.
Good luck guys, and remember, patience is a virtue!
Bizarre.

delool, yes you are right each school uses the UKCAT how they want, Kings look at it very strongly particularly the GEP course where the top UKCAT scores get interviews and selected others...
still nothing for me though...

Yes latestarter, I thought that too...BUT my UKCAT score is a lil lower than yours, still, I applied to Kings, and alas, I got an interview.
So, whilst UKCAT is important, seems other things are of equal (if not greater) importance.
There is hope yet.
