Received an offer from Exeter today. My word what a day!!!! This is the most awesome news ever!! Now have an interview with Trent in first week of May. I'm still going to go to the interview, but my experience at Exeter was first rate and will definitely be hard to top, the staff, trainees and campus were just sublime!! Good luck to all those who are still waiting to hear news.

Trent 2nd on reserve list.

Very exciting news! The letter from Trent came in the post this morning. As I will be moving my wife and family with me, I'm going to wait another week to see if there is any movement on the Trent reserve list before making the final decision with my wife. Would like to give her as much choice as possible considering this is going to be such a massive change for all of us. Either way there will be movement on one of the reserve lists for either Exeter or Trent after next week.

I am so pleased to finally post this

Essex
Surrey
UEL
Hertfordshire

Third application.
Over the moon and completely gobsmacked to have two offers! Now I have to make a very tough decision.
If you weren't successful this year, just keep persevering and believe in yourself. It's horrible but it will eventually happen!

So so happy! Just the one interview and got in! Never applied before but I love Bath's ethos and I'm feeling so grateful right now. Congratulations everyone who has got a place so far and keep going everyone who still wants a place!

I'm currently 1st reserve for a place at Leicester, is anyone planning on turning down their offer there? Seems to be really quiet this year. Best of luck for all with interviews still to go.

So happy to have been offered a place at Trent!!! News hasn't quite sunk in yet.

[AngelicFruitcake]

Technically my 5th time applying but I applied straight out of uni so this is my second year of properly applying and I finally have something to post other than sweeping rejections!

Glasgow - can NOT believe it!
South Wales (12th on reserve list)
Liverpool
Oxford


Does anyone know the likelihood of South Wales turning in to an interview??

Best of luck to all of you - this hellish week is nearly over!

So so so so so so happy and over the moon to be posting this

Glasgow >>>>>>> Glasgow

After 5 times applying and 4 years of straight rejections I was losing a lot of faith in my career path but perseverance paid off this time. I can not wait to start my time in Glasgow

I just wondered if anybody else is waiting to hear back from the Hertfordshire interviews this year?

Hi there. Yes I am still waiting to hear back and so is my friend and we interviewed there on Tuesday. I am confused that it seems someone below has been offered a place? Do you know if anyone else has heard back then? The wait is absolutely horrific!!

Congrats on your place! When did you hear from Herts? I am still waiting to hear from them and I thought they said that it will be tomorrow (14th May).

[Charlrose]

Hi everyone, I’m on the reserve list for Coventry and Warwick and wondered if there is anyone who has been offered a place but it still deciding whether to accept/decline or if anyone is likely to withdraw from the reserve list?!

Hi! Congrats on getting this far! I am also on the reserve list for Cov/Warwick. What number are you?

[Beelamalik222]

I just wondered if anybody else is waiting to hear back from the Hertfordshire interviews this year?

Yes still waiting but can see that someone has already been offered a place.. I was under the assumption that they were going to let us know on 14th May.

[AP2018]

I interviewed on the Tuesday and they said on the day that they would let us know by Tuesday by email but I got a call on Friday afternoon saying that I was successful and they offered me a place!

Hello, I also interviewed on the Tuesday. I am trying to work out from your username if you are the person I think you are.. not sure if I was sat on the table with you in the morning? (My name is Sarah!). They called me on Friday and offered me a place! Have you heard anything yet?
