Apparently Nottingham are big on manual dexterity this year. What's that jazz about?

Where did you hear that?? Sounds more relevant to dentistry to me. :s-smilie:

I thought so too. Apparently it was a big point at their open day this year, according to this post.

I really liked Nottingham's self-catered, but since my girlfriend got into Nottingham this year and is staying in Broadgate, I've really changed my mind. Seeing self-catered first hand really shows catered to be a bit old fashioned. It's also easy enough to cycle down University Boulevard from Broadgate, park your bike at the Biomedical Sciences building and walk over the med school bridge. I think I am warming to self-catered. :shy2:

Notts admissions policy is an enigma :s-smilie:

For some reason, I seem to think manual dexteritry is scored on the basis of the questionaire :confused:

I seem to remember that last year.

There is a question that is like "why do you have good manual dexterity?" and I chose "First Aid". I didn't get in, so..

My application has been sent. Any ideas on how long it takes to get sent the e-mail with the questionnaire?

Im really nervous. I feel i have fluffed my UKCAT. I got 652.5:s. would my GCSE's of 6A* and 4A be enough to get me an interview with my UKCAT scores??

thanks

The thing I've noticed about BP is that they seem to have less hall spirit than any of the catered halls on University Park (although it is definitely there), either because the people there are more independently minded, or because there are just so many of them. That may not be important to you, but I quite like it.

Besides, with the amount of contact hours I have, not having to cook as well is very nice indeed.

It's so competitive to get in anywhere.

I have 6A* and 4A at GCSE and UKCAT of 652.5 average. Are these grades good enough for interview?

Cheers

Where exactly do you "hang out" in one of the catered halls? There's no kitchen to sit in, or whatever.

Well, every hall has a bar and a JCR with plenty of seating, plus pool tables, air hockey and a great big TV. My hall also has a really nice cafe open at lunch, but not everywhere has that.

Failing that, you can always hang out in somebody's room.
