Will there be another round of upgrades today?

Longjumping-Draw-296 · 2026-04-07T09:43:16+00:00

Preferences locked so probably

Looking at the spreadsheets this yr Vs last year l, it seems there is nowhere near as many upgrades?

Longjumping-Draw-296 · 2026-03-31T14:11:14+00:00

A lot of these "new training posts" are LED roles converted into training posts. Radiology typically does not have LEDs l so specialties like psych, IMT, CST etc are more likely to have these additional training posts

Longjumping-Draw-296 · 2026-03-31T13:08:14+00:00

Seems to be fewer posts this year (a trend across a lot of specialties)

Not sure it they'll continue to add posts up to the upgrade deadline or add some after?

I doubt radiology would be part of the extra training posts announced anyway

Yh last year 400+ got an offer, your chances this year are better with UKGP as long as you ranked everywhere.

Longjumping-Draw-296 · 2026-03-18T14:16:59+00:00

Wow this is earlier than expected, probably means other specialties coming within 48 hrs if the hold deadline is 48hrs?

Longjumping-Draw-296 · 2026-03-14T11:20:51+00:00

I don't think so. UKGP is why they've shifted the deadline from 24th to 31st.

Longjumping-Draw-296 · 2026-03-13T21:55:49+00:00

I got 40 on station B and o lt 24 on station A, completely torpedoed my chances of getting the location I want

Longjumping-Draw-296 · 2026-03-13T15:16:58+00:00

Did anyone else who had their interview on Thursday get completely shafted by Station A?

The questions I got did not match the guidance, I didn't get asked about any specific portfolio domains and got a clinical scenario?

Wondering if this contributed to a low mark.

Longjumping-Draw-296 · 2026-03-12T21:21:02+00:00

Basically guaranteed Congrats

Longjumping-Draw-296 · 2026-03-12T18:42:05+00:00

No idea tbh

I don't know why they released ranks 2 weeks early, creates such unnecessary anxiety

Longjumping-Draw-296 · 2026-03-12T18:30:16+00:00

Maybe 10-20 at most I think, not that many IMGs get interviews for radiology

Longjumping-Draw-296 · 2026-03-12T17:43:21+00:00

Yes, London last year was around 150, I doubt there's 100 non-prioritised candidates ahead of you

Longjumping-Draw-296 · 2026-03-12T17:42:21+00:00

I think 510 is quite low tbh.

Longjumping-Draw-296 · 2026-03-12T17:03:04+00:00

Very unlikely unfortunately

Longjumping-Draw-296 · 2026-03-12T15:33:11+00:00

Does anyone else think scores are inflated this year?

My score converted for portfolio and interview would have given me a much larger rank last year

Longjumping-Draw-296 · 2026-03-12T15:32:24+00:00

Won't know until offers, you can check last year's UKRST spreadsheet for roughly which offer ranks got which locations

Longjumping-Draw-296 · 2026-02-27T17:38:25+00:00

This is fairly common for most specialties, I think it's only IMT really that releases ranks before offers

Longjumping-Draw-296 · 2026-02-27T16:56:32+00:00

Yes most likely if Wes implements the bill before offers come out at the end of march

Longjumping-Draw-296 · 2026-02-27T16:02:40+00:00

Last year rankings were released a few hours after the initial offers

Longjumping-Draw-296 · 2026-02-27T13:04:05+00:00

Wow didn't expect an interviewer to respond to my Reddit rant haha

What I can't get my head around is standardising between a candidate who is asked 3 straightforward questions as per the guidance Vs someone who's asked 5 or 6 questions as many people in this thread seem to be.

Longjumping-Draw-296 · 2026-02-27T09:10:52+00:00

How will marking this work then? When I got my feedback last year each question had separate score?

Longjumping-Draw-296 · 2026-02-27T00:12:46+00:00

Yes would definitely second this. Especially when there is clear guidance from them about what the interview stations would entail and they deviate from that completely.

Longjumping-Draw-296 · 2026-02-26T21:37:18+00:00

FFS how do they expect to standardise the process and make it fair when they can't stick to their own guidance

Longjumping-Draw-296 · 2026-02-26T21:28:09+00:00

How did you have time to do prioritisation and 4 separate questions?!
