I am wishing to apply to Liverpool Uni. I am trying to organise myself early and have the strongest application possible.
After reviewing the entry requirements on the website, I believe that I would be in a good position, even though I do not have the greatest assortment of A*s
My under-exaggerated predicted grades (that are much lower than what my school states, but I do not want to get ahead of myself, and so there is a great chance they will be better) are:
English- A A
Math - A
Bio - A*
Chem - A*
Physics - A
History - A
Geography - A
Catering (proper GCSE not an equivalent) A
I.T - A A
I also completed maths for a different exam board, so do I, effectively, have two maths GCSE's. Edexcel Modular Maths and OCR Linear Maths?
My volunteering/work ex has already been organised and I have been doing it now for 4 weeks. By the time I apply for uni, I will have been doing it for over 1 year.
I am on great terms with my A-Level teachers, after having them for GCSE as well. So, I would feel I have a great chance of obtaining good predicted grades - they are aware of how much I am willing to work.
My A-Level options comply with the requirements of most universities:
Biology*
Chemistry*
English
History
Even though subjects such as maths and physicals are not directly required by uni's, there seems to be an air of suspicion that they are needed. Would my lack of these subjects have a detrimental affect on my app? Even if my grades matched or were better than people with all the sciences?
Assuming I obtain the required grades, would anybody be willing to state whether or not they think I would stand a good chance of getting an interview?
Any tips/insights into Liverpool's med school, and how to get into it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
