    Hey folks!

    Just wanted to ask a really stupid question but to those resitting A2 modules: did any of you get a certificate for the A level you're retaking? I got a certifcate with my B grade in Chemistry but I told my school to un-cash the grade because I wanted to retake one module in Jan, and cash it in then.

    I suppose my question is that if the grade was "un-cashed" why did I get a certificate for it?

    A really late question (not to mention dumb) but it just occured to me now LOL

    I believe Barts and HYMS are reapplicant friendly or at least I heard they were that's why I applied to them! St Andrews also offers you a good shot if you have good A levels.

    Wait until you get your A levels before deciding where.

    Hey, I'm also in your situation.

    You want to make a thread on 2013 re-app since this thread was made last year around this time?

    The thing about peninsula is a load of rubbish - you definitely do have to take the UKCAT if you are reapplicant!

    But as for universities in general - a lot of places are, you'd be best of just researching all the universities and seeing which play to your strengths (ie. UKCAT, GCSE's, A levels, BMAT) Places like Barts, who I believe use UCAS points scoring are good because obviously you'll have more points with achieved A level grades. Although you can't really make a decision until you have done your UKCAT - since soo much depends on the score you get in that.

    This is a good idea! I think I've seen quite a few people say they'll be re-applying for 2013 entry (me being one of them..) So, you going to make the thread?

    I don't mind making it. If you want to make it, it's fine by me :yep:
    Since there's less people online atm due to work/school (I have the morning off ) the thread should be made in the evening perhaps so more people can see it
