Cardiff Medicine Applicants 2012

Nah, it's interesting finding out what combinations of places everyone else picked!

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.

You 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

Where did you read that? I am applying & have 25 points, but also doing a gap year and already have A*AA/742.5 UKCAT.

Cardiff told me in an email, they said if you have AAA at A level but don't meet the gcse threshold (23-25 probably) they will add up to 4 points to your score so that you meet the threshold

Great Was a bit worried in case they decided to increase the cut-off to 26/27 (like Birmingham).

Last time I tried to email Cardiff med admissions I got the following autoreply:

"I am out of the office until 24/09/2030."

If you get a really high score on their points system for your grades do you go straight to interview? Or do they still look at PS etc. Thanks.

Hey, does anyone know why Cardiff seems to have lower student satisfaction of course/teaching ratings?!?!?!

Would I stand a chance with 23 points at cardiff??

How sure is everyone about the points system, as i emailed the admissions tutor, and he said i would get 24, I have 4A's at A-Level, but only A*A*A*A*AABB as point scoring GCSE's. By the ssytem mentioned in this thread that would only be 22???

I wouldn't regard the words of the admissions tutors as gold. They aren't that helpful in my personal experience. I would recommend phoning them, and double checking. The only reason I can see for you having those 2 extra points would be that you have 4 A2s not 3.
