    Well I phoned them today and they said I should email them to organise things (which I am yet to do). But they were really nice on the phone and said I could come when this other guy was coming but I can't make that date. And they said "yeah email this person and they'll look into the students time table to see when they can best fit you in."

    Hopefully I'll get to tag along some med students and ask them a shed load of questions while they give me a tour.

    Is that elaboration good enough? :cool:

    I got 550 in my VR section and I am a re-applicant, does anyone think 550 is risky as last year the cut-off score was 520 :\

    Do you reckon that it's generally the worst section for most people?

    Hey guys, need some serious advice! I don't know whether I should apply to Peninsula. This will be my 3rd time applying for medicine! I have AAA grades however my UKCAT sucks. VR brought it down to an average of 625.
    I heard that Peninsula puts less emphasis on those who have achieved their A-levels already. However since their cut off was around 640 last year and most probably will increase this year.

    Do you think I should still apply?
