I got mine as well (BCC) I also got Keele on the 17th of January and then Reading (BBC) and Sussex (BCC)
Now I'm just waiting on Leeds but I'm so glad to have gotten 4/5 especially since there are only 15 or so places on Sussex's biosciences foundation year course

Well Done! I got BCC too, Im waiting on Kent and my interview at UEA to complete the 5. Hope you get a offer from Leeds :smile:

Got my Human Sciences offer from KCL :smile:

Was surprised as I'd left their Medicine course! Glad they think I'm still worthy lol

Congrats

I've got an offer from Kings for Human Sciences too LOL
I've sent off my questionnaire. The questions are quite simple and im quite new to this forum so I dunno if I can post what they actually were but to be vague they were just like why UCL and questions on what you know about the course in a personal way...?

The word limit was actually quite small compared to what you could write. I guess it's basically another personal statement but focused on UCL. You should research the course and see what you gain from it and what you hope to do afterwards etc. Hope this helps ^^ (Haven't heard back from them yet though :s-smilie:

Yeah same, UCL then KCL
I sent it off.. by the 26th of Jan, but I'd asked for an extension because I had Jan exams. Yeah they give you a site with like 5 questions and a box and they give you like a week unless you ask for an extension because of exams or other personal stuff. I just wrote it up on Word and pasted it afterwards. Thing is I think you only get it if your personal statement is good and focused on the subject. Mine was leaning more towards psychology so they probably sent me one. My friend is a med app but applied for neuroscience at UCL and he got one too.

I considered post grad med, but given that it's so competitive and that i don't REALLY want to be a doctor anyway so i guess there's no point. You still need the A level grades etc. anyway. I'm thinking of doing a masters and phd maybe, then being a lecturer? I honestly don't know.
