Rejection from newcastle just come through...

I have

Ah brilliant. I am only looking for section 3 related stuff, what is it that you have? Also, did you find it any use? I keep reading contradictory statements online about the majority of GAMSAT prep materials, and they all cost so much so I am very wary of spending a lot of money on them. Thanks for replying!

I would recommend 'Organic Chemistry for Dummies', which deals with some very complex principles in an accessible way. I think I paid about £7 for it from Amazon.

Oh no... Sorry to hear it, who are you still waiting on?

Did you have an interview with them or was it a rejection without interview?

Chin up

Imperial offer!

Thanks, I have that book and find it really useful, it's more the graphical and statistical analysis in the Bio questions I had trouble with the first time round. I think doing practice papers would be the best way to improve, and I know the ACER ones back to front now! Does anyone know which other practice papers are the worth buying?

Well done just wondering what are your stats? UKCAT, Volunteering etc

I applied to;
Imperial - Offer
Oxford - Rejection Pre-Interview
Kings - Offer
St Georges - Interviewed - Waiting

Thanks, I have a 2.1 if Life Sciences from the Open University which I gained whilst working in a public sector role (not healthcare).

I spent just over a year volunteering at a local hospice about once a fortnight, I also spent a week shadowing surgeons on an orthopaedic team. I've also been involved in a couple of youth groups and projects.

My UKCAT was 765 av, scores in the range 740-800.
My GAMSAT (for SGUL) was 79

My reference was a bit of a worry because I initially got a reference from my supervisor at work but I was then asked for an academic reference. Obviously being an OU student my tutors had actually never met me!

I applied to;
Imperial - Offer
Oxford - Rejection Pre-Interview
Kings - Offer
St Georges - Interviewed - Waiting

Thats about it in summary, If you want to no anything else please ask.

Do you know where you'll go?

Of the four I'd take Kings, purely because of the location of the main hospital and teaching facilities (heart of London - wonderful hospital).

Well done either way, from a fellow OU graduate.

Is the King's med school not based at Denmark Hill then?

Congrats to all of you with offers, whilst I'm back in History land, I still keep an eye on this thread to see how you're all getting on

Well done on the Imperial offer!

What's your first choice?
