Scroll to see replies

I'm a graduate applying with 2790... lowest section was AR 590 and highest DA 880 do you think it would be better to avoid graduate options and just apply for the undergrad courseS?

Chill you'll be fine! I just tried to FULLY simulate my exam, had shower, breakfast, left 20 minutes as if i was driving to the exam centre, then 10 miuntes to sort out and go in, sat down to do the official mock.2 at 9am and my computer decided to crash when I was on question 21 of DA!!! :angry:

I'm feeling it's a bad sign :stomp:

I tried to do that too :frown:

but I was really nervous!!!! Did a mock today and got 638 :frown:

I hope I get higher in the real thing!!

What's your last minute prep?

I am an overseas student. Wishing to do medicine degree here. I have done access to medicine course with distinctions in all modules. I had applied twice in the last two years but could not get any place even I had two interviews at Liverpool and Cardiff medical schools. My ukcat score was 480 and 510 respectively.

This is my third try and this time my score is 587. Highest is 810 in DA with lowest 400 in VR. Any advice where should I apply? Thanks in advance :smile:

Does medify ever give you a score / 900 they say on the full mock page "This is the reason why at the beginning we will not be able to give you a UKCAT score after taking a Mock." Do they? If so where is it, becuas i can't see it :confused:

Hey Dr. Ugs, i think you've posted in this forum like every other page and have helped so much people!  
Hope it goes well for you.  Was just wondering, how much of your personal statement have you or will you change when submitting UCAS this year?  Good luck!

Well I've never gone for GEP but from what I've gathered on here, GEP is even more competitive and they all use the UKCAT to a much greater extent (since you have huge amount of graduates coming into medicine with all sorts of degrees), so I'd say go for the undergrad route, you goal is to get into medicine and I'm definitely sure you would stand a much stronger chance with undergrads than with grads, besides you have more options and breathing space this way at the cost of an extra year (I know it's another £9000 sadly :frown:

and another year of your life in education) but what's the alternative? (Not getting in because you were too proud and went all out graduate?) 2790 is a great score (don't judge solely on TSR), choose wisely and you've got a solid chance with your UKCAT and degree (which I assume is a 2:1 or 1:1 :tongue:
