Edinburgh Medical School Applicants 2012

has anyone started to send away their certificates etc? Also do you have to wait for the PVG form to come to you first ? Thanks

yeh I will probably do that, but how do u get a PVG form ???

Hey everyone,

Firstly, congratulations on your offers I'm very happy for you and I wish you all the best with your medical careers!

I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to inbox me their personal statement? I am hoping to reapply to Edinburgh this October, and was looking to get an idea of the standard of successful personal statements.

Thank you very much!

Yeah me too please . I got rejected and would like to reapply this October as well.

Jasmine, what did your feedback say?

We can help each other out then!

My feedback said:

"Excellent academics, top quartile UKCAT, good non-academics"

Thing is, I thought my non-academics were better than my academics

What about your feedback?

did anyone reply to the POVD email address but not get a confirmation? I'm going on the 11th and I never got any sort of reply after the initial invite!

I'm not able to go to the POVD.

Please let me know how it goes...

You'll probably hear a lot about it on the fb group.. Do you have Facebook? Have you joined? x

Could you post the link for the facebook group please? I had a look for it but couldn't find it... though that's probably just me being dense :P

There you go

I'm not able to go to the POVD.

Please let me know how it goes...

it was really great - the staff and students all seemed super friendly - the old medical college was very grand while the new medical school and the hospital seemed to have state-of-the-art facilities so for me, it was really like having best of both worlds if you know what i mean?

also the curriculum seems very well-designed and organised - it really seems integrated in every sense of the word - a solid focus on the basic sciences in the first few years - adequate choice in the options within the SSCs (some with a strong research focus) and then a really smooth transition to clinical teaching in years 3,4,5.

if i remember correctly, you were considering kings as well - and being in the same position - i'd pick edinburgh any day

Literally crying with happiness, I've got a place!!!! Got made an offer today, so I'll see you there is there a facebook group or anything? Feel so honoured to be accepted
