To be interviewed you have to at least have a score of 16 points, where A*/A = 2 and B =1, from your top 9 GCSE's ONLY and in those nine will always include English, Maths and either double or triple science.

AND

Miminum predicted grades of AAB(b) to include Biology and Chemistry at A2.

I've not posted much recently but have been watching the posts recently. In terms of calling up the univeristy, I have found this to be a waste of time to be honest. Most of the time you end up through to one of the admin/PA type of people who really have no power, try writing a letter addressed to Dr Fiona Watson (who ultimately can override most decisions).

But glad to meet you all, and thanks for the advice so far. I've done no prep but I think many people will be in that position as alot of it will happen during freshers.

Yeah, it is a good system, but make sure your personal statement is amazing, because the academic side is only half of it.

Pretty much as far as i am aware.. they dont use the UKCAT so PS, GCSE's and references have to be good! :biggrin:

Good luck.

I have had my course of Heb B vaccinations done at my local GP Surgery so I would try there.

I applied to both for 2011 entry and got two interviews and offers from both. Both will offer you AAAb :smile:

I rang a few weeks back(before i got my results) and the lady on the phone said they would arrange for us to get vaccinated in the first term if we had not already done so!

But ring them up if your not sure :-)

Hi
I am new to this thread and thinking of applying to Liverpool but worried with As results.
In short my academics are 8A*, 3As at GCSE and at AS, Biol A (97%), Chem A (94%), Maths A (85%), History C (69%) and Crit Thinking B (74%).
Problem is if they are rigid on AAAb offer as I dont think Crit Thinking is allowed as a fourth subject?
Does anyone have any comments/advice please?

Hey, I am going to Liverpool Med school this september and was just wandring a few things. How true is the rumour about it becoming less PBL based and when does this start? Also, how many people are in a PBL group and how do they chose who is in which group or is it just completely random? Thanks :smile:

You should contact the Admissions Tutor, Dr Fiona Watson. She is probably one of the only people that can answer those sort of questions.

Hi can somebody give me some advice here, on the website it says "GCSEs in nine subjects at a minimum of grade C: attained by the end of Year 11 and at least a score of 15 points or better (where A*/A = 2; B = 1) from the nine and including: Core & Additional Science (or Biology, Chemistry, and Physics),
I did GCSE Double Award Science, is this acceptable?
