    okay, i need advice:)
    Hey guys!

    Well long story cut short- im in year 12 and want to apply to uni next september to these universities.
    -Kings College London- (for EMDP)
    -Queen Mary's ~(via the Newham Doc scheme)
    -Keeles (As they only require a prediction of AAB)
    -Leicester

    My GCSE's are not great only got two A's in English Lit and Maths- all the rest were B's hence why i chose these universities and i am happy with the choices!
    i would love some adivce- does anyone think i have a good shot, considering i have an excellent PS and great references and aiming for a good UKCAT?

    i think i can charm them at the interview :P

    I reckon i can get perhaps minimum predicted grades of AAB! (MINIMUM!)
    now your go! helppp!)
    thankss for the comments- Honey_xx

    Many universities accept AAB, you'll be fine

    If you do get a rejection just brush it off and try again with an improved application. I've heard of people in worse situations and by not giving up they got in.

    Oh yeah, what extra curricular activities and work experience have you done?

    i'd see if your gcse results meet the requirements for the university. I know for Keele university if you want to study medicine you need to have Science/Core science plus additional science or chemistry, physics and biology, english language and maths (grade b minimum) are essential. A broad spread of subjects is expected at GCSE with a minimum of 4 grade A passes.

    I am in year 11, and worry, the only limitation or hinderance is my six gcses, hopefull all 5 at As and 1B,

    Also Reading these threads i was pretty much feared reading some medicine threads as the competion was crazy!, However most people in TSR may add another A* or A, Bump up UKCAT Score by 10 points...
