Will try to add old threads, maybe good for us to give an update of where our DCs are at

How’s everyone’s DC doing?
Mine had her 2nd interview last week, Liverpool. And has Nottingham next week.
And another the week after. Then another set of mocks after the half term break. Seems full on, but she is taking it all in her stride now. Just feels like I’m holding my breath at the moment 😶

Keepkondoing · 26/01/2025 15:02

Mine had his last interview last week. He said is so weird not to have to do any medicine prep anymore. Almost 18 months of preparation and now he just has to wait and hope! No rest for him though as straight into mocks. Not sure who will be more happy when this year is over, me or him!

HGC2 · 26/01/2025 15:23

DD is struggling to find a flow now that interviews and mocks are done so she’s taking a wee study break and doing her driving theory test next week.

She knows she’s in a lucky position as she’s got 3 offers, just waiting on the one I think she might want the most.

Good luck to those still interviewing

Mine has had 2 but not heard back from either, still waiting to hear from 1 for an interview.
It all feels a bit like limbo, she's now just focused on getting the grades!

WeCantGoOverIt · 26/01/2025 15:35

We are sitting on two offers. Mocks just now and Driving Theory Test booked for half term!

Sorry to tell you but the worries don’t go away. They just change.

4 interviews done but no offers (or rejections) as yet. Apparently some Birmingham interviewees got offers the next day but he’s not aware that anyone had heard from Sheffield, Belfast, Norwich yet …

My DS said Sheffield would let everyone know by mid Feb.

Thanks. I am very anxiously waiting. DS in a bad mood today, clearly thinks he won’t get Birmingham offer (but he’s not been rejected either and they only started interviewing this week).

maybemedmum · 27/01/2025 11:00

Interviews all done here - DD really glad they are all out of the way. She is lucky to have one offer already, so the wait is a bit less brutal though still very front-of-mind.

A few offers trickling out, e.g. at Birmingham, sounds very difficult indeed. It really is a gruelling process.

Sending lots of luck to anyone doing interviews/expecting to hear anything this week. DD seems to think Leeds decisions are imminent...

Think Leeds are due out this week, they said by the end of Jan.
Must be a relief for your dd to have one offer.

CopingHagen · 27/01/2025 11:36

Two interviews this week and waiting for Leeds

No interview from Bristol with UCAT a whisker under 3000 and SJT B1 - tough gig!

medprocesspain · 27/01/2025 11:54

Just one more interview to go, on Wednesday, then we start waiting. Good luck to everyone 😀

Mamadoes · 27/01/2025 12:41

Still mainly waiting here! One interview done (plus offer received - phew!) one interview in a couple of weeks. Not heard from KCL yet and waiting with bated breath on Bristol - UCAT of 3000 - apparently 2990 have had rejections and 3010 offers of interviews!

DS had his KCL interview last week so they are coming out, hopefully you’ll hear soon. They said they won’t send out offers or rejections until April!!

Mamadoes · 27/01/2025 12:55

@Keepkondoing that's good to know! It's unbelievable how long this process is!

sproutsandparsnips · 27/01/2025 13:58

Congrats to all those with offers. DS still has Birmingham interview next week, Cardiff last week went ok he thought. Liverpool said they will offer by end of March........

Optimum19 · 27/01/2025 14:05

One pre interview rejection. Two interviews done, one tomorrow. (Hoping Leeds decisions aren't out before tomorrow's interview.)
Hard to keep motivated - especially as DD thinks I'm too involved.

Justlikingit · 27/01/2025 14:47

Honestly, it’s a good job we have each other on here
Wishing everyone the very best.

same here. Very tough gig

islaoo · 28/01/2025 08:32

All interviews done here although KMMS haven’t yet dignified DD with a rejection ..

Still waiting on Plymouth dentistry 5th choice.

Mocks were tough with 2 interviews in between the exams, and she got a grade lower than she needs on each mock paper so focus is now very much on A levels!

congratulations on the offers! Guess it’s a waiting game for the rest of us. I’m very much having a wet January to cope!

Thanks - I think they’ve said offers will be out by 10 feb this year. She really enjoyed her Plymouth medicine interview!

ItsYourMoneyRalf · 28/01/2025 13:59

One rejection pre-interview. 2 interviews done, last one to complete on Thursday. I'm a nervous wreck lol

Lurea · 30/01/2025 10:42

Rejection from Cambridge for my DD. She is very deflated. I hope she will get an offer soon to boost her spirit
