UEA Medicine with a foundation year A104 2012

If I am to be predicted A*AAb can I still apply to this course as an insurance? Would I be offered BBB, or my predicted grades?

You'll be questioned as to why you picked this and not their 5 year course. But hey if you want to risk it go ahead.

They wouldn't consider you. You'd only be able to apply to the A100 course.

You'd be willing to take up another person's potential offer who hasn't met the academic requirements for normal medicine, just so you have a form of 'insurance'?

No, I was only inquiring because It's highly likely that I get AAB, and my head of year wanted me to find other options if possible.

I understand. However, if you're likely to only obtain AAB then why are your (if) predictions so much higher?

I'm still unsure whether or not I can obtain the A* in biology, though my teacher believes I can do it, as I got a good A in AS. But my chemistry grade was a C at AS, and I'm being predicted an A, as that is the requirement for medicine. So I guess I just have to work my ass off this year :smile:

I see.

My predictions were A*AA when I thought I'd only get ABB at the end of A2. Ended up with only AAB with 2 UMS away from an A* in biology and 3 UMS away from an A in chemistry so the only Universities I can apply to are foundation medical schools.

Got them this morning and nothing changed. I'm a little disappointed at the moment as I had sooooooo much riding on this remark. :cry2:
