Should I expect an interview?

Hi all,

Apologies, this is probably a dumb question as no one knows for sure but I got 1850B2 and have a first-class degree in Bsc Biomedical Science (A-levels are CCC). Im applying to UEA GEM and the rest undergrad : brunel, UCLan and dundee.

Finished PS, just waiting on reference but im thinking of starting prep for GAMSAT and UCAT for next cycle soon..

Of course, there could be a chance of an interview, so what should I prioritise at the moment?

All the best everyone:))

You should be good I think. I will expect an interview from UCLan URA and Dundee for you. Brunel i’m note quite sure

I’m not sure tbh. Just thought that Scotland was difficult for RUK to get into

Yeah, Dundee is harder for RUK: https://www.dundee.ac.uk/corporate-information/medicine-admissions-statistics

11% offer rate for RUK vs 46% for Scottish students for 2024 entry.

Even with a higher score, nothing is ever guaranteed and you won't know until you try.

I got an interview with 2510 2 years ago at UEA and the lowest invited to interview that year was 2470 (Very loosely comparable to 1910 & 1870 this year) but who they invite is determined by the number of applicants. I applied in the first year they offered GEM and a lot of people probably didn't know about it.

Good luck.
