Peninsula Medical School Applicants thread 2012 entry.

And I thought Medicine was a caring profession......who are these sad people that neg others success?

^ with?......

With choosing whether Peninsula is right for me.

My list so far:
Barts (90%)
Newcastle / Glasgow (100%)
Southampton (95%)
BSMS or Peninsula or St Andrews (or should I go for both Glasgow AND Newcastle)

Stats: UKCAT 690, UCAS Tarrif 600+ and I'm not sure how good my PS will be.

i have AAAB at AS, the B is in economics :/ and I am predicted A*AA. i got 8A* and 3As at gcse
my ukcat is 655. do I have a chance???

With 690 UKCAT you should apply to Newcastle and Glasgow.

Peninsula have a low cut off, so it wouldn't benefit you.

Hi guys

I emailed Peninsula and they told me that applicants were ranked on academics and UKCAT and then chosen for interview. Does anyone know how offers are made? Is it based entirely on the interview, or is a score for it added to the other factors and then offers made?

Thanks

I have a question, for people with A2 grades, do you still need to fill in your AS grades (for subjects you took on to A2). ?

Is it necessary to complete modules? I only put my grades in arghhhhhh

well if it gets sent back to me then I'll change it just in case...

I got 645 in the UKCAT.... a bit of risk to go for Peninsula. Does anyone know by how much does the UKCAT cut off usually rises each year Thanks

it rises by around 12.5 each year.
Last year it was 642.5.

I have a question, for people with A2 grades, do you still need to fill in your AS grades (for subjects you took on to A2). ?

I didn't as As is only half of A2, and technically when you get an A2 you use the As towards it, so you don't have As's anymore (unless you dropped) You have full A levels.

I took all 4 to A2 so like if the uni's ask for AAAa they won't be able to see it? cuz I have AABB.
Also i was thinking would the AS grades show that you were on track to acheiving the grades but didn't.
( my questions might be very stupid, sorry )
Thanks for your reply
