Wishing your DS all the very best with his York interview

Good luck at York, @medprocesspain 's DS.

Oxford offer here! Surprised, and delighted. DD normally cool as a cucumber, but she actually burst into tears in the car when it came through. (Genuinely don't know which is worse - a known decision day like this, or the endless waiting for other medical schools.) Still, it's a happy day here 😃

Optimum19 · 14/01/2025 11:29

That is fabulous @maybemedmum Very well done to her.

Best of luck to those with upcoming interviews.

Lurea · 14/01/2025 11:36

Congratulations to your DD. Your and her must be over the moon

Wow!!! Awesome news congratulations to your DD. I can imagine how overwhelming it will be. So nice.
what are grades, they want?

CopingHagen · 14/01/2025 13:35

Congrats @maybemedmum, fantastic news!

maybemedmum · 14/01/2025 13:35

Thank you all. We are thrilled for her. Still a long way to go, but definitely a big step forward!

Offer is 39 points, with 7,6,6 in highers (she does the IB). I think the A Level offer is Astar, A, A.

@maybemedmum amazing news!

MaybeaMedic · 14/01/2025 15:12

Hi all, so lovely to see so many interviews and offers starting to come through. This thread and @mumsneedwine have been a godsend for so many of us - thank you. DD has her first interview tomorrow (between mocks this week 😫) Good luck to all in the same situation 🤞

Congratulations @maybemedmum you must be thrilled

Miloarmadillo2 · 14/01/2025 19:21

Congratulations to your DD @maybemedmum !
My DS had his Sheffield interview on Monday and then has Birmingham and Belfast next week. School have generously said he can sit all his mock exams (for 4 subjects) the following week to allow him to travel for interviews. 🙄

sproutsandparsnips · 14/01/2025 22:15

Congratulations to DD @maybemedmum!

medprocesspain · 17/01/2025 10:06

Thank you for all the good luck messages and congratulations @maybemedmum. Great to see the offers coming through.

WeCantGoOverIt · 17/01/2025 14:42

Been watching the threads. We did four interviews before Christmas and have one offer. Waiting on others. He would be happy with any but waiting on an offer from preferred choice (current offer is excellent though). One interview online, rest face to face. Not heard much about the interviews themselves (they are not meant to tell) but quite surprised by how political a topic was in one. Did have a few disagreements over exactly how much time he should allow to get to cities though. Let’s just say I err on the cautious side when it comes to making allowance for public transport!

Still not heard from fifth option so so much for the theory of getting a quick offer from that to boost confidence!

WeCantGoOverIt · 17/01/2025 14:46

When I say I err on the cautious side, let’s just say DC had sufficient time to turn up at one interview with a bag of newly purchased clothes 😂

Optimum19 · 20/01/2025 16:04

Rejection here (pre-interview) for Birmingham. As if it wasn't a depressing enough day.

maybemedmum · 20/01/2025 16:15

Really sorry to hear that @Optimum19. Hope she's not too downcast about it. I think I remember she has/had three other interviews though, so still very much in the game. But rejection is horrible - sending you both solidarity.

Optimum19 · 20/01/2025 16:34

She's not too bothered at all.
Yes - 2 interviews done, one to go. Onwards & upwards.

maybemedmum · 20/01/2025 17:18

That's good news. What a great attitude! You can only go to one in the end...
