Medicine 2023 Entry - Part 3

[opoponax]

Anyone out there with DC applying or reapplying for Medicine 2023, please join a friendly thread for mutual support and useful advice.

Excellent news @kackle. Congratulations to your DC.

Great news @kackle !

@kackle congratulations to your DC!

Congratulations to those with offers.
The wait is painful but hopefully within the next two weeks we will see decisions being made.
Up in Scotland , mountain biking and walking ( not enough snow to ski) so DD is not checking her phone until evening time.
She is doing revision in the evening - which is more than she did last year.
She has learnt a lot in this Gap year, hopefully she does get a place this year but we ( inc her) think the Gap year has been beneficial.
Good luck to all waiting for decisions.

Ooh, congrats @kackle . Are you going to the offer holder day (18th March)? Might see you there!

We've had a mail from them at 0800.

Nothing about offer holders day. Is that a seperate email?

We would like to go on the 18th

I expect you will get the offer holder invitation soon.

Congrats @AsdaYellowTins and @kackle Such great news!!

1 person on Sheffield TSR claiming to have received an offer at 12.30 today…has anyone else had anything?

Nothing yet.

Nothing here yet either.

Lots of offers on TSR though 😪

@Lottsbiffandsmudge the batching of offers is mentally tough. It does get easier once they have one offer.

He's trying to sit mocks and finding it v difficult to focus.... blimey this is tough...

On reserve at Sheffield- very unhappy DD.

Oh no, I was really rooting for you! I still maintain that this will be a great year to be on the reserve list though. Hope offers come soon.

I know Thankyou @Monkey2001 - let's just hope one of the others comes good.
Did your DS get an offer?

@coffeeandbiscuittime sorry your DD is upset. It could easily turn into an offer but the wait is hard. Hope she gets good news from her others soon.

@coffeeandbiscuittime I don't think he has heard anything - he is visiting his GF, but he would have messaged me if he had any news.

ARU offer for DS here. First offer after Plymouth rejection. Huge relief for everyone!

Well done to your DS @GladysGeorgina . @coffeeandbiscuittime everyone seems to think more offers will be made by Sheffield when applicants have to firm - fingers crossed x

Great news @GladysGeorgina 🙌

@coffeeandbiscuittime here's hoping an offer is on the way from one of his other choices 🍀
@GladysGeorgina congratulations to your son. Think the offer holders days are 4th and 25th March

Congratulations @GladysGeorgina !

This time of year is tough. Offers and rejections coming through, waiting lists for some and just endless waiting for others. So so hard to concentrate on exams, but they need to be the focus, offer or not. In pre covid years 40% of students didn't get their predicted grades (some get better !). Even if no offer now, you get those grades and the game is still on !

Waitlists v v likely to turn into offers. And gap years are not a bad thing. It's a long hard degree and a year of some fun seems a good idea to me. Lots of hugs to everyone.
