How St Mary's London selects for interview
Selection & shortlisting
- Everyone who meets the academic entry requirements and has submitted a personal statement and academic reference is invited to the MMI - there's no admissions test or score-based ranking, so every eligible applicant is treated as interview-likely.2
- St Mary's doesn't disclose how the MMI is scored - our rating covers reaching the MMI stage, and St Mary's states meeting the entry criteria isn't a guarantee of an interview.
- Shortlisting is a gathered-field review of your whole application: your academic profile (predicted or achieved grades), reference and personal statement are considered together.2
- Applications that don't meet the entry requirements are rejected or placed on a waiting list - meeting them doesn't guarantee an interview, and 4th A-Levels aren't scored.1
- Admissions are rolling - the UCAS deadline is 15 October, but applications close once all places are filled or interview capacity is reached. Interviews run from January, rolling through to April - June and July dates only if offers remain.3
- Your personal statement must show interest in medicine - if it doesn't, your application goes no further - and it's used at interview. Work experience isn't essential (it can be mentioned in your statement or at interview), but healthcare, care or volunteering experience is strongly encouraged.3
