How it's scored and how offers are made
- Each station is scored, and you are ranked by your total score.
- For most candidates, the interview score alone decides whether an offer is made.
- Borderline candidates are reviewed on their whole application, including academics, personal statement, reference and UCAT.
- Some candidates may be invited to a second interview, usually a panel interview at an offer holders' day.
- Reapplicants who are interviewed again are scored on the average of both interview scores.
