TSR Graduate entry medics and applicants society!

silly question, was chatting to f2 today, and he did graduate scheme and had his undergrad at derby, SOMEONE once told me you're better going to a more 'reputable' uni, how true is this?

man got a 677.5 in the 'cat. wondering where the damn thread was for comparing what universities take this score?

The Nottingham graduate entry course is based at Derby for the first two years. Nottingham is a perfectly reputable university.

no no no

he did his undergrad degree at DERBY university, before doing the graduate medical degree

Hey - I am in a MASSIVE dilemna - I took the ukcat on Wednesday and got a 605 average abstract reasoning really let me down and for the quantitative reasoning, I had to guess lots because the timing was sooo tight arghhh even though I bought that damn 600q book and practised!

I am soooo gutted.

I am a Biochemistry student in my third year and now worrying where to apply, should I completely scrap applying to 4 yr courses?

Should I consider BSMS? and is Kings and Queen Mary's COMPLETELY out of the question even for the 5yr course (I was never planning to apply for the 4yr anyway) but now thats NOT going to happen lol....

I keep hearing "cut-off" rumours for Kings and Queen Mary's however I was wondering whether this is the same procedure for graduate applicants applying for the 5 yr course?

quite miserable and would appreciate any advice - I really want to apply to at least ONE in London - damn...this UKCAT has ruined my plans!

Hoping for 2010 entry. Still haven't sent off my application! Waiting for my reference and have to narrow down 6 choices to 4.
Where should i try with a UKCAT score of 640?
My only options are:
Warwick
Newcastle
Imperial
QM
KCL
Southampton - definitely want to apply

Why restricted options, just out of curiosity?

Leicester wanted one year's paid work in a caring environment which i don't have.

Do they? Is this mentioned on their website anywhere or did you email them?

Leicester wanted one year's paid work in a caring environment which i don't have. Also, since this was a relatively late decision, i missed the deadline for GAMSAT. My UKCAT probably isn't good enough, but i'm going to give it a shot anyway!

They say significant experience working in a caring role. I thnk in the past they have put a year limit on this and so there's some confusion around it now. I'd say that now they just say significant experience they're giving people the chance to swing what they have done in their favour - I think they want to see what you've gained from your experience more than the fact you've done it for a long time. That being said, I think it would be hard to get what I would call significant experience in a period of time much less than a year in total, especially if you're not doing it as a full time job.
