Something I started about an hour ago. http://twitter.com/MedPickupLines

Actually realised the R.E was a full course so that's 7A* 1 distinction and 2A, so would that mean my score was 25? Or does the distinction count as an A* and I'd have 26?

Sorry to bother, but I was hoping you could clear up some confusion, I may apply to Cardiff university for medicine next year and I wanted to know what my GCSE score would be

Math-A*
Biology-A*
Chemistry-A*
Physics-A*
English Language-A*
English Literature-A*
Religious studies- A* (1/2 GCSE)
I.T-Distinction
French-A
History-A

Would they include the distinction and R.E as A*s or would they not include them, meaning I would only actually have 8 GCSEs?

I was waiting outside the Shared Lecture Theatre this afternoon before lunch while the second years were walking out of a lecture, and I was trying to listen for anyone who had a welsh accent to try and spot you.. (not sure if you even have a welsh accent!) Unfortunately, I didn't catch any accents.

As you're a medic, I think you may be the only person who's posted on the 'Sleep question' thread that could find my attempt at an explanation mildly interesting!

(PS I'm not rep-whoring, I only wrote to you because you had completely the right idea but mentioned not having the scientific knowledge)

I hav an offer to study medicine 2014 at Cardiff nd birmingham nd hoped u could answer some qs regarding Cardiff to help me choose.

All qs are about 1st year

Hi Elwyn!
There has been a lot of discussion over GCSE thresholds for Cardiff (many of which claiming 25-26 is the cut-off). My score adds to 24, do you think I have a reasonable chance of success?
I know this is an awkward question, but I would prefer to have realistic expectations.
Diolch!

Hi! I'm not that great with TSR and I can't work out where the PM button is sorry :P just had a quick question about cardiff- what's been the cut off the last few years? My GCSE score is 24 so not sure if applying this year will be risky, can you advise me? Also what's the course like? I always thought it was PBL but the website says system based? Thanks, much appreciated

*hugs*
Your advice about Cardiff University and medicine in general were a great help this year. You're amazing, just thought you should know. /random message

Nope. Want to apply next year but I don't really have much chance haha
