Competition for a place at Medical School is fierce. Approximately 3800 applications to the Medical School are received each year, for a total of 334 places (International Student places are capped by Government regulations). Up to 950 applicants may be selected for interview.
The selection procedure
Our Selection Procedure guide gives an explanation of the Medical School's selection procedure.
Interviews
No offers are made without interview.
We will run Multiple Mini Interviews (MMIs) on campus for Home fee paying candidates. Overseas students will attend on-line interviews. Candidates will be asked a series of structured questions and receive a score for their responses, according to the values listed on our website. Further detailed information will be provided to candidates when they are invited.
We suggest that students review information on the Medical Schools Council website regarding on-line interview preparation.
Timing of interviews
The interview season begins in December and runs through March. Invitations to interview are issued on a rolling basis throughout the season, with candidates normally being given at least one weeks' notice.
Candidates should keep us regularly informed of dates that they are unavailable by following the instructions on our Noticeboard.
Applicants should check their email regularly and should ensure that emails from Admissions are not diverted to the junk folder. We advise candidates to monitor their Junk Folder and the UCL Applicant Portal for emails from UCL. If invited to interview we expect acknowledgment of attending within 5 calendar days.
Interview outcome
We aim to advise interviewees of the outcome of their interviews as soon as we can, although we may need to wait until all candidates have been interviewed to review the range of scores and to make offers. The outcome will be displayed on UCAS Track and on the UCL Applicant Portal. Successful applicants will receive an offer pack as an email. Candidates who are unsuccessful will normally be advised electronically only. Feedback will only be given, by request, to applicants who have been unsuccessful following an interview.
