Coping with rejection
Posted on December 30th, 2008 by Matt
As you know by reading this, I’ve been recently rejected by BSMS and Sheffield. Naturally, this is quite disheartening, and can make me feel a bit low at times. Being a resiliant chappy, I have carried on and found a brilliant coping method.
Now, I don’t think I’m supposed to be encouraging you to buy products from other places, but as a founding partner, “what the hell!”
For anybody who has been rejected, or just wants to hear the piss taken well and truly out of the medical profession, I recommend that you go out buy some of the Amateur Transplants albums. Failing that, have a look on YouTube at some of their live videos posted by PsychoManagement.
However, on a more serious note, I could still have another interview to go, so I’m going to remind you of the MedicalAdmissions.co.uk interview preparation days.
We offer a full day for up to 10 participants anywhere in the country, including an individual mock interview, group exercises, lectures and talks. The cost is ?2,000.00 split equally between all participants – so if you want one, book now via the ‘Contact us’ form, or by calling the hotline on 07077 088328.
Status change II
Posted on December 19th, 2008 by Matt
This time I was sitting at home, on my bed. My Mum was next to me, working away on her desk (the room is shared between my and her office because I’m not often home). My phone buzzed with a new email, and again I flicked it open – “track@ucas.ac.uk”.
I told my Mum that again the status of my application had changed, and grabbed my laptop. Downstairs in the house are two ethernet ports where I can get internet access (for some reason my laptop and my Mum’s wireless don’t want to talk to each other). It didn’t take me long to enter “tra” into my browser before the bookmarked login screen appeared.
Another 30 seconds, and much frantic typing had me on the Choices screen. I held my breath, and waited as it appeared – would it be “Conditional”, “Unconditional” or “Unsuccessful”?
Well, I have another UCAS AS4 on the way to my address – Sheffield have chosen to reject my application. Oh well, it’s 2 down and 2 to go.
Matt is hoping one of his remaining medical choices accept him!

Well, I’m pleased to announce that I was able to send off my UCAS application tonight. After many weeks of entering details, writing statements, chasing references, and the rest, I’ve finally done it.
?17.00 on the credit card later, and my application is being processed by UCAS before being sent to the 4 medical schools I have applied to. BSMS, Bristol, Sheffield and Southampton – let’s hope they’ll like my application!
Now, like many others, I’m eagerly watching the postbox, waiting for details about how to logon to Track. No doubt I’ll become more addicted that than I am to Facebook…
Matt is happy now, and semi stress-free.
