    Considering: Buy 10 for £43.23 each

    Too bad I didn't get into Medicine, guess I will just roam the streets as a beggar with a stethoscope looking all medically
    Become a re-re-applicant?

    I could see the alternative..

    hey there!
    I was just wondering which universities are favourable of re-applicants?
    and those who favour gap years?
    thanks

    Plan amazing things to do in the summer! Persuade some of your friends to go on holiday with you or something

    I'm still just working, but a lot of my friends are coming home from uni soon, so I'll be able to spend my free time with them. I've booked tickets to Leeds festival, and I'm doing volunteering for a week before that. Perhaps going away with friends for a weekend or something, and hopefully a holiday with my boyfriend. Just think, this is the only time you're going to be really free for pretty much the rest of your life - what things do you want to do? Go and do them!

    It is unlikely to make your first year easier. University anatomy teaching is extremely well structured, learning random facts beforehand is unlikely to help and may only succeed in confusing you.

    Enjoy your summer before uni, you will have enough work during term time

    Hey guys, can't believe what I'm about to say but as of today I am officially, a successful medicine re-applicant. :woo: This thread was really nice to read because I felt like I wasn't alone through the struggles. Good luck to the rest of you guys still waiting and those unsuccessful. If it's really what you want and you believe the struggle is worth it then keep on fighting.

    i think you should phone Bradford and ask whether your rejection for Clinical Sciences will have any influence on your application for Biomed (I don't think it will tbh but ask to make sure).

    usually, you have to write a new personal statement for Biomedicine but i'm not sure if at this stage they would ask for one, so again, call them up.

    hope this helps and good luck.

    i can't find an official thread for student finance so i was wondering if anyone on here could help me out ...

    i've been reading some documents about it and from what i gather, when you take out a student loan, at the end of uni, there is no exact amount that you have to pay back? say you took out a total loan of 45k, even if at some point you're able to pay all of that off, you can't? you have to pay every year for 30 years (if you earn more than 21k p/a)? - have i got that right?

    please help if you can!

    You pay 9% of whatever you earn over £21,000 towards it. As far as I'm aware if you want to pay it off soon after in a lump sum you are more than allowed, why would they stop you? Don't think that would be allowed.

    Re: 2012 Medicine Re-Applicants Mark I
    Does anyone know if student finance take into account siblings at uni? Me and my brother are both starting in September on the minimum loan so parents are expected to contribute a fair bit cause of the two of us. And in two years time my there will be three of us all at uni so it'll only get worse. I've heard rumours that they do but I'm not sure, does anyone here know?
