American postgrad student applying for UK med school

I'm an American postgrad student and I want to apply for UK med schools. Does anyone know which schools are more likely to accept north american students and how they feel about postgraduate students.
Should i take the bmat and the ukcat or is the ukcat sufficient? What do they look for in postgrad students besides work experience? My grades in chemisty (Cs), 2 years ago, were awful and I'm scared that will affect my admission. Is there a way to prove my competence. Thanks, any feedback would be very much appreciated!! :smile:

Are you a graduate or a post-graduate? In the UK post-graduate means you've done or are doing a masters or a PhD.

For graduates almost all med schools will look for long-term (a few years worth) work and voluntary experience, leadership skills, other interests etc. You'll also be expected to demonstrate a good understanding of the UK health care system.

For academic entry requirements you'll be better off emailing the med schools you're interested in and asking - most med school websites have little info regarding foreign qualifications. The entry test that you have to take, BMAT or UKCAT or both, depends on the schools you apply to.
