Nottingham Medicine with a foundation year 2012

What UKCAT did you get?

If you have 6 A* and A's you will not be considered for the 6 year course

If I were you, I would double check and email admissions - it's better to be safe than sorry

632.5 but i only have 5 A*/A's

Just rang admissions, and they basically score the UKCAT and personal statement, along with the online questionnaire they send out to everyone and that's how they decide who to call for interview.

She was also quite addiment that they won't consider anyone for the A108 foundation year, if they meet the GCSE requirements for the A100 course.

Oh poooooop.

I think I'm going to epically fail my UKCAT next week!

Thanks for the info though.

Yeh, they were the same when I emailed them. Someone 'negged' my post on the previous page because I told people that they won't get in because their GCSE's are high enough for the A100. That's what you get for advising people lol.

Are you applying?

No problem!

Yeah i'm applying, and BM6! Still contemplating UEA. It still seems like quite a few people don't know this course exists, so hopefully that'll work in our favour!

Thank you for that...

Damn! What did you score for your UKCAT?

So basically you need to get a pretty good UKCAT to even bother to apply here as they probably consider those with higher UKCAT in each section.

That sucks but it's still worth a shot

I got 522.5 :| i duno what happened there I spoke to them and they said i can still apply i would still be considered aslong as my ps and questionnaire is good ! LOL. has any one done this questionnaire ? what's it like? x

Atleast you didn't get 300 lol.. Remember, you always could have got worse!!!

Well, if they said you've still got a chance then go for it. You don't know until you try.

Yeah, I'm quite intrigued about this questionnaire..

Can someone shed some light here please?

p.s Good luck with your application!

Well I've heard it's asks you about work experience and other things (reasons as to why you are applying ect...), but in more detail than on your personal statement. But I guess we'll have to wait and see

Hey guys, I am thinking about applying to the foundation year too, but my teacher said that I don't have the right A-levels. I study Chem, Bio and English Lit so it doesn't really make any sense. Apparently, only people who have study 'arts' can apply to this scheme. Please tell me that he is deluded...

Yeah that's completely UNTRUE! Lol. Many of the foundation years are for people who don't have science A-levels, but Nottingham and a few others require you to have taken them. For Nottingham you need chemistry, here are the entry requirements:

A-Level offer: CCC, including chemistry and excluding general studies and critical thinking. At least five GCSEs; double science grade BB or chemistry, if single sciences taken, grade B; biology, maths and English language grade C, other subject grade C; biology, if not taken to A level, must be passed grade B at GCSE, and of course all of the additional requirements!

Another thing to point out is that they won't accept any applications which meet the GCSE requirements for the A100 5 year degree.

Hope this helps and good luck!

i dont meet the a100 requirements, but i read someone say you cant apply if you have an a

So unfair! I am eligible to apply because I meet all the criteria and I will have the entry requirements for A level but I have 2 A*'s at GCSE and 5 A's. But within the last 2 years when I am taking my levels my circumstances have changed a lot and things at home have meant that my studying has suffered so my a levels have suffered. Will I not be considered any more? :'(

why dont you apply for the 5 year course, your GCSE's are good for the 5 year entrance..

if you dont have biology: leeds, leister, glasgow bristol they accpect students with only chemistry or an other science( maths, bio, phy) have a look at other uni's

ps im from cov too yeyyyyy!
