Looking forward to your reply.

Thank you.

Dear QM FOI Enquiries,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I would like further clarifications for the current/modified interview selection process for A100 Medicine course.

[extraneous and personal material removed] [extraneous and personal material removed] However, it has been brought to recent attention from UCAS that you "do not make offers purely on the basis of meeting the grade requirements". This is different to what has been mentioned in the relevant course website and hence why we would like further clarification for the interview selection process this year.
