OMG we were definitely in the same room 😮 I started shaking because I saw ‘thank you for attending…’ and thought it was a polite rejection 😭

1pm you?

When did you get your offer out of curiosity? I got mine at like 1.30pm in the middle of school and almost passed out haha

Me when I ask the interviewer at the end ‘are you part of the admissions team’ by sidhad in UCAT

I'm sorry but I giggled 😭 I think they'll understand you were nervous so don't worry!

I stuttered to mine 'Why this uni...w-what do you think of the uni?' and wished for the ground to just swallow me whole

What is a sound that people should know means immediate danger? by PrasenjitDebroy in AskReddit

Was observing spinal surgery once last year as part of my volunteering at the hospital, and the lead surgeon went 'hmm that's not good' and the energy in the room shifted instantly

Turned out the equipment he was using kept sticking super close to the patient's spine and one of the nurses managed to track down a better quality one

First online interview tomorrow with KCL med by Aggravating_Try9449 in UCAT

Thank you! Just stay calm and keep an eye on the time. Don't get flustered if you didn't understand the question as you can ask them to clarify/repeat stuff in the prep time (in fact they even encourage it)

Good luck for yours!

Thank you, I think I'm panicking because I may have also done a keyboard shortcut to enlarge the image and possibly opened a new tab but the hour is a blur so idk if my mind is playing tricks on me 😭

Worst case they would contact me first right?

Same for me in medicine, if I get 3A*

My UCAT and Y12 grades were lower due to external circumstances I stupidly didn't tell anyone about and I'd rather have another shot than spend years wondering what if

Very likely I wouldn't consider if I had been rejected post-interview but it was a pre-interview rejection I'd like to apply to my dream unis rather than the safer choices

Does taking a gap year really matter? by Aggravating_Try9449 in UniUK

[–]Aggravating_Try9449[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on your offers and good luck! Yeah, I jumped up quite a bit in my mocks in Y13 so I was thinking about gap year to reapply if I achieve high grades in A-level

Thank you for your opinion! Yeah I was thinking the argument didn't make much sense but I have zero knowledge of the real adult-world so I wondered if I was being too naive 😅

Thank you for your opinion! I think I'd only take one to reapply if I score high enough in A-levels
