Re: Barts and the London applicants 2010Ok you win. My bad!(Original post by FFCrusader)
You're encouraging it
Nice being back home? Missing the mid-lecture distractive texts?
The little kids on my road beat me to the little snow we have so I can't have a massive snow fight like I planned.
Yeah so I decided to do the masculine thing and bake some cake for christmas!
Never felt any more macho at any other point in my life thus far!

Re: Barts and the London applicants 2010See previous page re: Barts v gImperial house officer jobs.(Original post by jeeano)
if i got other two id be in the same position as you but between imperial and barts and not barts and newcastle -- would have no clue as to which to choose. but i hadnt actually been on a tour of barts before my interview like i did for imperial and barts really has upd its level as to where i'd firm. so probably gonna stick with barts - sounds stupid i know but just seems like the place where i'd enjoy life the most.
plus the added benefit of doing clinicals in uk's biggest hospital!
wbu ... i dnt realli know much about newcastle but must be pretty damn good if you cant choose between it and barts
EDIT: as for birmingham it was always a backup although it looks like a really nice university. going up there tomorow to see the uni itself ... might change my mind!
PS: Pet peeve...it is not clinics, clinicals or any other variation of the theme.
It is clinical medicine, clinical years, clinical students etc etc.
