UEA (Norwich Medical School) Applicants 2012

What Joseppea said. The concrete buildings look awful at first, but I've spent quite a bit of time up there lately, and I barely notice them at all now tbh. In fact, I've grown quite fond of them. They're definitely better then the less distinctive concrete 60's buildings, like you get at places like Leicester!

Also, as has been mentioned, the med school itself is new and modern. The rest of the campus is quite green (although not as green as, say, Keele) and there's the lake, and fields around too. Plus the surrounding area of Norwich is lovely. I'd have to say, campus-wise, it's one of the best in the country!

I have to admit I was thoroughly impressed with the sports facilities

Those grades are not poor and you know it, especially if you add decent AS results to them. There are not many medical schools which you would have to rule out on the basis of those results.

Hi all...I received my IB results last week and have met my offer to study medicine this September at UEA. I was looking at the medicine page on the UEA website and noticed that there is an age requirement for the course. The problem is that I do not turn 18 until this December. Do you think they'll still let me on the course or will they defer my entry? I find it very strange that they would even give me an offer. Lol...I really hope they don't send me home when I arrive in September.... LOOOOOORD GIVEEE ME STRENGTH

I've just received my CRB forms and have realised that they require both the original documents and their photocopies. It says that the whole process takes up to around 5 weeks. My issue is that ill be travelling on the 18th of August and I need my passport. So does anyone have any idea if ill get it back by then?

You shouldn't need to send off your passport- they should've checked it at your interview? Only send off the documents highlighted- for me that was only a bank statement and now all I need to do is pay.... waiting 'till results to do that! Not paying £44 till my place is confirmed!

Also, I got back my documents within 2 or 3 days...

You realise that a clear CRB is part of your offer and therefore your place won't be confirmed until it's been done?

And I don't think you can even wait until results - I had a deadline that mine needed to be sent off by.

Oops :P I meant 'till I see if I've met the grades.... but we haven't been given a deadline as far as I know. When was yours?

I've just sent UEA evidence that I've met the conditions of my offer (I'm a graduate) and they've changed my offer to unconditional on UCAS so I don't think they need the CRB to have cleared for that to happen.
