A100 Edinburgh Medicine - 2016 Entry

Hmm can't seem to find anything on euclid saying I need to upload anything. Also can't seem to book accommodation yet, keeps saying I'm not on record. Do I have to wait for them to process my pvg/grades etc before I can book accommodation?

They said 72 hrs after accepting ur offer for accommodation and they sent me the list of documents on Euclid I think two days after firming 😊 If not call the it desk and they will direct you to the right place for help

Hiya, I'm applying to Edinburgh for 2017 entry and was just wondering how badly a B at AS would affect my application even if I had 3A*s predicted grade for next year?

It's getting close to results day and I wonder how strict they'll be on the BBB Advanced Highers conditional offers.

Eg would ABC be okay? I'd hate to miss out on medicine at Edinburgh after everything now just due to dropping one grade in one subject at Adv Higher.

Good luck to everyone waiting whatever happens.

Congrats! Is it still a conditional on BBB?

Not sure...I' kind of worried about the same thing, eg if I got C in higher English, but got A/Bs in other advanced highers - don't know what they will do :/

Does anyone know how much emphasis/consideration Edinburgh University put on the AS levels for Medicine applicants. Some applicant will have these results others won't so, as sciences are linear exams, I was wondering if Edinburgh (like Sheffield and some other Unis) would not consider AS grades highly as part of an application. Thanks.

Please read through this document, although last year's it shows how they score you out of 40. I'd recommend applying with 36/37+. It is unlikely to change much, if at all, this year.

No they don't unless you decide to drop a subject at AS. Then they would require a fourth AS subject to be at a B (preferably an A). If you intend to apply to Edinburgh and have a B grade in a subject from AS, maybe consider taking it as a full A Level for a predicted grade of an A.

I stayed in chancellors court in first year, slightly nicer than the others with en suite and better rooms, but perhaps loses the community feel being in such a big building. One of the smaller buildings (lee, Baird, turner, etc) could be better
