Re: UEA Medicine with a foundation year A104 2012You'll be questioned as to why you picked this and not their 5 year course. But hey if you want to risk it go ahead.(Original post by The_Writer)
If I am to be predicted A*AAb can I still apply to this course as an insurance? Would I be offered BBB, or my predicted grades? -

Re: UEA Medicine with a foundation year A104 2012They wouldn't consider you. You'd only be able to apply to the A100 course.(Original post by The_Writer)

Re: UEA Medicine with a foundation year A104 2012You'd be willing to take up another person's potential offer who hasn't met the academic requirements for normal medicine, just so you have a form of 'insurance'?(Original post by The_Writer)

Re: UEA Medicine with a foundation year A104 2012No, I was only inquiring because It's highly likely that I get AAB, and my head of year wanted me to find other options if possible.(Original post by Tzarchasm)

Re: UEA Medicine with a foundation year A104 2012I understand. However, if you're likely to only obtain AAB then why are your (if) predictions so much higher?(Original post by The_Writer)

Re: UEA Medicine with a foundation year A104 2012I'm still unsure whether or not I can obtain the A* in biology, though my teacher believes I can do it, as I got a good A in AS. But my chemistry grade was a C at AS, and I'm being predicted an A, as that is the requirement for medicine. So I guess I just have to work my ass off this year(Original post by Tzarchasm)

Re: UEA Medicine with a foundation year A104 2012I see.(Original post by The_Writer)

My predictions were A*AA when I thought I'd only get ABB at the end of A2. Ended up with only AAB with 2 UMS away from an A* in biology and 3 UMS away from an A in chemistry so the only Universities I can apply to are foundation medical schools. -

Re: UEA Medicine with a foundation year A104 2012The policy now for the A104 course is not to accept resits. I don't know whether they'd allow it with extenuating circumstances, the best thing to do would be to email them and ask.(Original post by cobra2k10)
does this course accept students retaking one A-level as i got BBC due to extenuating circumstances when I was predicted AAA. -

Re: UEA Medicine with a foundation year A104 2012Do they accept AS resits? I did AS subjects last year, and although I didn't fail anything, due to housing situations and other things, I didn't get close to the grades I would have liked, so ended up retaking the entire year, with a change of subjects. Does this ruin my chances at getting on a Medicine course entirely?
