Hello everyone!

All of you applying/re-applying this year for 2011 entry to study medicine in the U.K gather up here!

Let's hope this year turns out awesome for all of us & we end up with at least one offer =]

It's gonna get more competitive this year, so good luck to all of you =]

[gildartz]

here's a question for you international applicants:
What makes the UK such a good place to study medicine?

[Masala]

Well for one, most if not all of our local senior consultants/profs did at least their specializations there ! That should be credible enough, I believe.

Well Done Pinkmojo !


Hey Gildartz,
Why such a grosse clip ?

Thanks for changing... sometimes Dr House is also gross ... but that is fine !

[pinkmojo]

@ gildartz : Well, personally for me the medical course offered in my country is way too academically rigorous. I feel somewhere down the line we prolly make the most intelligent but insensitive doctors. I feel the med course in the UK is also taxing,yes, but it also helps in making a good human, a good doctor, a sensitive yet intelligent doctor. Also the introduction of clinical side in year 1 is quite cool as in my country onnie years 2,3,4 & 5 are clinical. Also o/course the recognition the med schools in UK hold is great, who wouldn't want to graduate from an awesome institution?

Sheesh, that sounds like I'm answering some interview guy =] haha!

@Masala-thankyou! =] Good luck wherever you go =]

If you don't get an A at Chemistry for example, during your AS level, you can resit a specific module, or the whole AS exams during your A2 year.
Med schools dont mind AS resits, but they do mind A2 resits... unless your applying to oxbridge, in which case, all the exams need to be taken in one sitting and you achieve the highest possible
