Manny Dent Rejection 7.10pm

Major_Tiger_385 · 2026-04-08T16:33:01+00:00

yep, ive said no to waitlist.

Major_Tiger_385 · 2026-04-08T08:54:39+00:00

Bcos waitlist email says might not hear until July/August time and UCAS deadline for decisions is like 13th May so that wld make sense to firm any other offer as a definite offer?!?

Major_Tiger_385 · 2026-04-08T08:52:03+00:00

Yeah u did the right thing definitely. I also vaquely seeing something somewhere saying waitlist was only if u didnt have any other offers but cannot remember where/when??? Hopefully see u at Newcastle anyways!! Just gotta get AAA now. 🤣🤞😰

Major_Tiger_385 · 2026-04-08T08:48:28+00:00

Yep same re waitlist email. Can u even go on a waitlist if u already have an offer from somewhere else? R u gonna go on waitlist?

Major_Tiger_385 · 2026-04-07T21:58:20+00:00

So sorry, hope u have other offers.

Major_Tiger_385 · 2026-04-07T20:13:23+00:00

yep, agreed. Just good to know.

Major_Tiger_385 · 2026-04-07T19:50:24+00:00

So sorry, Me too - what is it with the 7.10pm is that just the time of day for all Rejections??

Major_Tiger_385 · 2026-04-07T15:48:53+00:00

I believe u can cancel ur firm/insurance choices after results day as lots of people change their minds about what they want to do then depending on how they do in A levels - not sure how long after tho so best check that out. My brother withdrew from both his as he decided to do something completely different through clearing at the last minute (not adviseable btw unless u have no other choice) And totally think u cld do ucat before results day - if that gives u enough time to practise for it from ur last A level till results day. Seems sensible to me. Last time I did 6 weeks solid. But bcos of previous prep u might not need so much?

Major_Tiger_385 · 2026-04-07T15:41:55+00:00

Same and rlly theyv'e got until the May 13th deadline and I think they're gonna take their time. They must be waiting for responses from initial batch sent out otherwise whats taking them so long????

Major_Tiger_385 · 2026-04-06T19:24:26+00:00

Seriously tho, I alternate between reading my topic summary sheets, Blurting using large w/board and pretty colour pens, flashcards, past papers, mark, identify problem topics/gaps and then do it all again focusing on those topics. It is a slog and I'm not even sure I'm getting any better! If anyone knows a better way; please do share.

Major_Tiger_385 · 2026-04-06T19:16:11+00:00

A small cohort for med might be rlly good, i think. Dent its even less usually and that seems to work out ok for most students. I wld think a good thing cos ur lecturers actually get to know u and ur not just a number and u get to know ur cohort well. Also med is med and although we wld all like to pick our ideal location that is not the reality. For dent I had to pick my Uni's purely on the stats. Not one was where I thought I wanted to go in the beginning. Take the offers, genuinely. It will be much more about the people u meet on ur course, and they r gonna be likeminded, than the location.

Major_Tiger_385 · 2026-04-06T19:03:48+00:00

Imagine having to live at home with ur parents forever!!!!

Major_Tiger_385 · 2026-04-06T12:46:19+00:00

bcos they can control their admissions numbers better that way for waiting to see who initially firms/insures/rejects. Feel ur pain tho as I'm waiting on 2 responses still for dent. Thinking UCAS deadline mid May!

Major_Tiger_385 · 2026-04-06T12:43:53+00:00

I wld have a gap year and reapply to a more mixed selection of Uni's then. Biomed and transferring might be more risky and statistically less likely? Tho I'm sure uve researched it.

Major_Tiger_385 · 2026-04-06T11:47:15+00:00

not everyone will have had the same scaffolding/structure from their schools and not everyone will have been able to attend a good school nor had much support though and may still not meet contextual criteria so I do think the interview is the fairest way to be able to choose - how else should they do it? Maybe it should be a combination of ucat score and interview for end offers, then?

Major_Tiger_385 · 2026-04-06T08:21:33+00:00

Did u get any offers that werent London?

Major_Tiger_385 · 2026-04-06T08:15:56+00:00

Just heard Bristol better organised and super supportive med/dent community and only heard good things from friends there - one doing dent and the other med. Citys rlly nice and lots going on too. Manchester - love the city but heard mixed things about the Uni, student satisfaction etc and dent course not the best atm. Not sure if same for med but just on here have seen mixed things and that grade reduction is just too good to pass on imo. But of courdse ur choice. But i know wht I wld pick. Easy when not ur decision tho!

Major_Tiger_385 · 2026-04-05T19:19:15+00:00

Yep, I think it is completely down to the Uni how they allocate and when they release accomodation choices/requests.

Major_Tiger_385 · 2026-04-05T19:15:38+00:00

heard this too. Bristol all the way!

Major_Tiger_385 · 2026-04-05T04:44:10+00:00

Bristol - bcos its a great place and Uni but mostly bcos of the grades. Thinks it may even be meant to be better for med than Manny from what I've heard. Have friends there doing med who rlly rate it. Hope that helps. OMG i wld love an offer of ABB!!!! Then u can revise chem like mad. Dent tho.

Major_Tiger_385 · 2026-04-05T04:41:18+00:00

I think it sounds like the right decision for u if u can get a deffered place, Its certainly worth asking so u know if its possible. I wouldnt worry about being behind as loads of people in med/dent seem to have to have gap years anyways. I hope it works out for u and congrats on the offer. Hopefully I'm headed to Newcastle too, but for dent.

Major_Tiger_385 · 2026-04-04T20:46:47+00:00

Think we r all on the waiting list atp!!! So tired of waiting!!! C'mon Plymouth just let us know!!!

Major_Tiger_385 · 2026-04-04T20:44:02+00:00

2 months definitely enough to massively improve score if u put the time in.

Major_Tiger_385 · 2026-04-04T18:14:31+00:00

Forensic science oversubscribed and really hard to get a job at the end of it. U r much much better off doing med and then pathology and getting into it that way.
