Bristol Medicine Applicants 2012

Applied here yesterday !

I'm also applying independently, hoping to send my application by next Friday.
There has been a lot of discussion on here as to which offer/applicants ratio is correct. Some are saying 1:8, others 1:10 or even 1:17.
Here's the thread.

Good luck!

Applying first time ?

Also, what was your UKCAT score and grades for GCSE and A Levels ?

Yup, first time

My UKCAT average was 630, so nothing amazing, but OK my gcses were A*AAAAABCD so also alright but nothing incredible haha.

Predicted AAA in Biology, Chemistry and Religious Studies

Oo, not bad ! Your GCSE's are good, and your predicted grades are great too.

And don't worry about the UKCAT for Bristol, since they don't use it.

Good luck on your application !

P.S - I'm applying here second time round. Didn't manage to get a place last year.

Yup, one of the deciding factors for Bristol for me, plus the fact that Bristol is really nice and the university seems amazing thanks! Good luck with your application too!

Where else are you applying ?

I've applied to Bristol, Imperial, Southampton and Brighton & Sussex

ahhh made such a mistake with bristol as i had a pleasant surprise with my ukcat, hope i fit the rest of their requirements

Good luck with your Universities, hope you get offers from all.

Hmmm, i'm applying: Bristol, Southampton, Keele and Kings or UEA.

Also, have you been to Bristol ? Have you been to the University ? If so, how was it ? I haven't been there and really wanna know.

I've been to a few concerts in Bristol - I love the place, it's got a nice atmosphere and a really good music scene if you're into that as far as the uni, I've read up on it a lot but I've not actually looked around, but a few of my friends have and they said it was brilliant! I've been to a couple of the hospitals too, where I think some students will spend some time

All of your unis sound good - I hope you get a load of offers too!!

Well, I hope I get into Bristol, and you too.

We might just get into the same Uni, you know.

That'd be cool xD someone I know before I get there would be great! What a levels are you taking, by the way? Loads of people on here are taking four or even more, and I'm only taking 3 A2s!

What are Bristol looking for in a personal statement? Like what makes a really good one? This will be the second time im applying here and i would really really love to go there

Also, hopefully the requirements of AAA should cut down the competition a little bit this year!

Four or more A-Levels ?

To be honest, it doesn't really matter how many A-Levels you're taking. Because the admissions process with the majority of the Uni's is that, the first step is to check whether you meet the entry requirements, academics-wise. So if you have the grades, then brilliant. That stage is complete. Then they move onto the PS and references. So you need just a minimum of three A-Levels, and anymore that you do, there's no advantage, since it won't be taken into account, unless when the admissions tutor are deciding between borderline candidates who competing for limited spaces at the end.

Anywayssss ... I've taken three A-Levels and two AS-Levels.

A-Levels in Mathematics, Chemistry and Biology.

AS-Levels in Further Mathematics and Geography.

Yes, please anyone answer this question. I really want to know what Bristol are looking for in a Personal Statement.

Rozca, by the way, I'm also applying here second time. We're in the same boat.
