Selection Procedure A101

How we score applications for the A101 Course 2014 

There are two stages:

Supplementary information, such as an employer reference may be provided directly to the Medical School. Please include your UCAS number in any correspondence: med-admis@le.ac.uk

The Written Application:

The UCAS form should include a clear and concise personal statement outlining your ambitions and experiences. Employment in a medical setting is not essential, but you must be able to demonstrate that your employment involves a substantial caring role.

The Interview:

The format of the interviews is multiple mini-interviews (MMI). Should you be invited for an interview at the Leicester Medical School, they will take place during the following weeks:

10 - 17 December 2013
27 - 30 January 2014
18 and 19 February 2014

We reserve the right to alter our interview dates.

Please Note:
If applicants cannot attend the date that they are given, we may not be able to reschedule. Applicants, who know of any dates that they will not be available, should inform the Medical School (in writing) immediately after submission of their application: med-admis@le.ac.uk

On the day of the interview you will have an opportunity to tour the Leicester Campus with a current student who will tell you about the social life, accommodation, etc.

After the interview the selectors will examine the UCAS forms and interview reports. On the basis of a thorough consideration of these, one of three decisions will be made:

• Offer (subject to providing a certified copy of degree certificate confirming first or upper-second-class honours degree)
• Hold (the possibility of an offer still remains)
• Reject

We aim to make offers as soon as possible after the interview. However, if you do not receive an early offer, this does not necessarily mean you have been rejected.
