Pre-allocation
I am an applicant who is qualifying (or has qualified) from a non-priority group country, and I have had my pre-allocation application approved. Will I still be pre-allocated to the foundation school that my application was approved for?
The Preference Informed Allocation method (PIA) will be used, and all applicants will receive a computer-generated rank.
When allocation takes place in Oriel, if there are more applicants in the priority group than there are places available, only the prioritised applicants will be allocated to a foundation school at this time. Non-prioritised applicants will remain un-allocated and will wait on a national reserve list. Further rounds of allocation will take place if vacancies arise.
If you are allocated to a foundation school in one of the later rounds of allocation, your pre-allocation could still be honoured, if a vacancy exists in the foundation school that you were approved for.
I am an applicant who is qualifying (or has qualified) from a priority group country and I have been approved for pre-allocation. Will I still be pre-allocated to the foundation school that my application was approved for?
Yes. If you have been approved for pre-allocation and you are qualifying (or have qualified) with a primary medical qualification from one of the priority group countries, you will still be pre-allocated to the foundation school that you have been approved for.
