Applying for Medicine while in the first year of another Degree - Uni Responses

I also got an offer by this route so it is definitely do-able!

got a 728 UKCAT, wrote a much better personal statement, and I felt like I had an amazing interview (when I went through what I said for the interview with a doctor I know, he told me my answers were very good)
I still got a rejection from Peninsula. I feel like death.

Hey, where was your offer from?
I'm hoping to apply in my undergrad year too.
Peninsula, Exeter, BSMS and Soton or maybe Glasgow/Newcastle if my UKCAT goes well.

Random question, did the people that got an offer through this route this year stay on the old fee scheme or have to start the new fee scheme??

I've stayed on the old fee scheme, but if youre planning on doing it next year, you'll probably be on the new one

How have you stayed on the old fee scheme if you're moving universities? My daughter has done the same thing and will move to the new fee scheme in September.

My understanding is that if you switch courses in the same uni you stay on the current fees as a continuing student, but starting a new degree elsewhere you're the same as all the other new students.

Oh really?? I got an offer this year as well and they told me I have to go by the new fee scheme?? How did you manage to be on the old scheme????

Hi, I'm in the same situation as airdoc and I'm staying on the old fee scheme too. The first offer i received was from peninsula, and they told me that I'd still be on the old scheme. However I later decided to accept another offer from a different medical school, and I just emailed the medical school admissions office about this and they confirmed that I'd continue to pay the old fees. I don't know if it's still possible to change the amount of fees your daughter will be paying, but it might be worth contacting the university to make sure!

Hello thank you for your reply, I will email my medical school to double confirm. Do you mind me asking which medical school it is that you will be going?

Hiya, what about if your resitting some A-level exams during your first year doing biomedical science. Which unis allow this and would it be better to just complete the degree first?

My daughter did this though I don't think she'd recommend it as she had to retake Chemistry at the same time as uni exams. She was able to apply to Soton, Peninsula and the uni she'd missed her offer at (this was due to special circumstances though). You would need to double check on policies though as the unis can change what they'll accept from year to year.

However it worked for her and she got 2 offers, so it is doable. In retrospect though I think she'd have preferred a gap year.
