UCL Medicine Offer Holders 2014 Entry

Hi all, congratulations to everyone who has received an offer to study Medicine at UCL!!! :biggrin:

I understand that there is already a thread for those who've received offers for any subject at UCL but I thought it would be a good idea to create one that is solely dedicated to Medicine offer holders.

Here we can discuss anything we feel is important: Are you going to firm the offer that you have got? What are you looking forward to most about studying at UCL? Aspects of the course that interest you? Facilities in London that you wish to use and explore?

I would be particularly interested in finding out about whether anyone has commenced their application process for accommodation.
Is there a specific type of accommodation that you are opting for?
Does anyone know which houses/halls are the best for 1st years?

I received my offer on Monday (interview on the 4th Feb) and have firmed it but I'm not sure just yet what kind of accommodation I want to go for.

Lastly, to anyone waiting for interviews or offers I wish you the best of luck and hope you can join the other offer holders soon! :biggrin:

Hey everyone! Congratulations on your offers and hopefully we will see each other next September!
For those interested, there is also a facebook group for offer holders: https://www.facebook.com/groups/287770328041706/
That said, does it make a difference applying now or later for accomodation? Considering they only assign places after publication of A level results...

I'm not sure if they wait for A-level results- I think people on gap years can get assigned accommodation any time from July
But I'd like to know too if there's any benefit applying now as opposed to a few days before the deadline!!

Yes, I remember reading somewhere that people with unconditionals get accomodation offers earlier. I wonder if the same applies to people doing the IB and other qualifications, as the results are released in July. I'll probably email them tomorrow to ask!

Hey guys, have you thought about what type of accommodation you might be going for yet?

I was hoping for ensuite but after looking at the prices I can see that's not going to happen! :frown:

Definitely putting single room as my first preference though- I really would rather not share!

What are the rough prices for an en suite?

Ha ha yeah the prices are high- I guess it's because of the L in UCL :wink:

I think I'm with you on having a single room- more convenient :smile:

Do you think you'll be choosing halls or the student houses?
(Sorry for all the questions- just trying to find out what others are choosing as I haven't made my mind up yet!)

As long as you know your personal statement and can expand upon your BMAT essay you should be fine!
Looking positive and enthusiastic also helps too! :biggrin:

From £179.20- £211.40 per week! However the £179.20 one- New Hall (Caledonian Rd)- is 'unfit for human habitation'.... (google it) so really £192.85- £211.40 per week

Haha yeah true I guess I was being optimistic by hoping for ~£150 a week!
Definitely student houses- I want self-catered :smile:
