Re: Cardiff Medicine Applicants 2012There's no harm in trying, I mean, I'm not the admission's tutor and most of what I know is from work experience in cardiff and open days here(Original post by Domo-Kun)

I'm going for BSMS, Bristol, Cardiff and Nottingham (basically places that still do full-body dissection
) Plus I really liked the look of the integrated courses.

Re: Cardiff Medicine Applicants 2012Why bother posting this! It get's me when people just willy nilly hand out comments like this, yes, it may seem harsh for me to say they will 100% without a doubt get a rejection with that score, but it's the truth, and at the end of the day saves them a rejection so they can apply somewhere else and get an offer.(Original post by TheGrinningSkull)

Re: Cardiff Medicine Applicants 2012Everyone should know that if you score >26/27 you (last year would) go straight to interview with out them scoring your personal statement. It's good, I suppose, if you have the grades. I don't score that

Re: Cardiff Medicine Applicants 2012GCSEs form the ONLY part of the ACADEMIC side of the selection procedure. The cut-off was 23 for 2011 entry, I had 24, so I can't see the cut-off being 25, 24 at the most but don't apply with anything less than 24.(Original post by Sergio Kun Aguero)
Do they add anything on to your score apart from GCSE.
Because in the email i got, I was told that 25 points was their cut off but then they said that was usually 4-5A*, confused ! -

Re: Cardiff Medicine Applicants 2012You say only but what if you already have your A-level grades? (if you know)(Original post by Elwyn)

Re: Cardiff Medicine Applicants 2012You have a score of 23/27, but because you already have and meet their A level requirements they can add up to 4 points to score so that you meet the threshold(Original post by Nash24)
