Though I am applying with a medical personal statement. What are your stats if you don't mind me asking?

I'm thinking of applying with a Med PS. I achieved AAA at A2 but a C in the 4th AS so I'm unsure if it's too risky :s-smilie:

The medicine deadline has passed just to let you know. As long as your PS is good, you should stand a good chance :smile:

I did put quite a bit in about neuroscience and genetics even thought it's tailored to Med. I put my 4 Med choices in and still have a 5th option open til 15 Jan because I was unsure about UCL being too risky

10a*, 1 B at GCSE and AAAAAB at AS. The website is incredibly vague with the competition. But I'd assume it would be pretty intense as its UCL. I just hope I will stand a chance with my medicine personal statement haha.

Hey,
Im thinking of applying for Biomed at UCL.
Does anyone know if you can take an extra-mural year for this course? On their website it only mentions it for BEng and MEng :confused:

That will pretty much decide whether or not I apply.
Thanks :smile:

I don't think you can, otherwise it would have stated it on the website. Or maybe I just missed it :confused:

Call them up and ask

Med school hopeful here - I didn't put an awful amount of thought as to what my fifth application would be - UCL biomed looked good so I applied there. Do we have any idea what proportion of successful applicants for biomed sent PSs for medicine?
