Sheffield Medicine Applicants 2016 Entry

Scroll to see replies

Can anyone please help me decide between Sheffield and Cardiff. Maybe tell me why you love Sheffield and why you applied here. I live in Manchester so Sheffield is closer. Any help will be much appreciated :smile:

Hey there! So i can give u some pros of sheffield. It's in the top 100 unis for medicine in the world for medicine in QS world rankings, gives very early patient contact, has a special Patients as Educators progrm, gives an opportunity for intercalation of another degree, is integrated in teaching style . (Just for your info, sir Hans Kreb used to be in the biochem faculty of sheffield) All the best in making a choice :yy:

Endcliffe is a mix of school leavers, gap years and post grads doing undergrad courses, such as yourself. People of the same age tend to be grouped together in the same block. For example, my whole block is school leavers, whereas the block across the pond from us is pretty much all gap year students.

Personally, I would 100% recommend Endcliffe for a good social scene and making plenty of friends, as it's where most people live. It's also the closest halls to the Med School, which is very convenient.

They're not in clearing; they just didn't have enough applicants make the grade, so they're interviewing for the extra spaces. [Source: mother-in-law is one of the doctors conducting the emergency interviews].

Nope; at least not as of two days ago. They were calling up people who had almost made the cut in the first round and asking them to come for emergency interviews when I last spoke to my MIL (which was Saturday; she's interviewing tomorrow).
