yea i dont think queens will send anything out until the summer but the details of youre offer (the grades you need to get or the date you need to have sent copies of youre previously achieved qualifications by) sould be in the decision letter that you can read in youre UCAS track.

I did hkcee as well but it was "totally rubbish" lol
I got 2 rejections as well. I e-mailed belfast and they said I have to wait 2-3 weeks more
Yes but I do not think I can get in. I know ~7 successful applicants and they are crazy... IB predicted 45/45 with hkcee 28.. gce predicted 4 A* (no ums less than 98%...) gce predicted 7A*.. crazy

Yeah that sounds crazy.. Well I hope you'll hear from Queen's soon

I can only tell you about SSCs in first year, as I'm a first year. There are 17 to choose from, you rank them from 1 to 17 and then through a sort of lottery system thing they allocate you the one highest on your list that is still available. As far as content goes there is a wide variety. I am doing the Aging Eye, which is interesting at times but can also be very boring. Generally I think the first year ones are not great; I've heard they get better in later years.

Yeah, I agree. The cut off last year was 38 for Medicine and 30 for Dentistry (they told people this at the open day a couple of weeks ago).

It's hard to predict this years cut-off as it's the top 500 so who knows what the applicants this year will be like and where the average will be.

Though, in saying that if 500 people are interviewed and there's 262 places available the odds for getting an offer seem pretty likely :-D

The MMI system is testing though, moreso than the typical panel interviews that you can rehearse for. As the interviews will have patients, it's really interactive and there's really no way to prepare for it. So, make sure you brush up on your communication skills (QUB love them). For example, dealing with ethical problems given to you, or talking to the 'patients' about a specific problem.

Graduates and gap year people tend to do better at MMI but I think that's just down to having more life experience(?). So exciting for those applying! Nearly UCAS time!

The site says "The course has an intake of approximately 280 students". http://www.qub.ac.uk/schools/mdbs/medicine/AboutUs/

I'm studying for my GCSEs at the minute and was just wondering what kind of grades I needed for medicine at Queen's?

When I was applying (3 years ago) it was about 7A*s and 2As. I think the application process has changed over the last few years though, and GCSE's may be less important now

If you want to apply to Queen's while you're doing your A levels then you need to have pretty good GCSEs (7ish A*s) and a decent UKCAT to have a chance at an interview. Other universities have lower requirements. However, I applied after I had done my A Levels. It's much easier as the current system at Queen's means that you're much more likely to get an interview if you already have your A Levels. Check the site out: http://www.qub.ac.uk/home/StudyatQue...14&id=A1&rp=az

However, things might change by the time you apply. The fees should still be lower for you though.

Don't be put off by bad marks or what others tell you. Don't forget about the non-academic stuff too. Work hard, even if you don't get offers the first time round, and it will pay off. Good luck with your GCSEs
