    prediction like all other med schools.

    ull need to be predicted 3a's
    The website says otherwise I believe: link

    If you click on GCSEs and ALevels then it says you need to be predicted AAB to be considered but you will still need to get AAA in the end. I may have misunderstood what it is saying though :confused:

    Hello
    Is is possible to get into medicine with these results
    Physics A
    Biology A
    Chemistry A
    Maths A
    Graphics A
    English Lit A
    English A
    Spanish A*
    ICT- Distinction

    I originally went to mainstream school and am fortunate enough to be accepted to a grammar school. But is it possible for me to do Medicine?? I have done a week experience in the Birmingham Womens Hospital, Im on the list for work experience for June 2012 in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, I volunteer at the British HEart Foundatio. I am waiting to have my volunteering interview for ST John Mbulance as a youth leader... and will have an interview for the ROyal Orthapedic Hospital.

    I am doing Physics Chemistry and Maths for ALevel. Are these good foundations?? Can anybody advice me any Universities that would take me in??

    thanks

    gcse wise it is pretty good! though you would not be able to apply for unis such as birmingham, bristol because they require at least 6A*.
    also you not taking Biology at A level may put you at a disadvantage. as quite a number of them need it.
    refer to these links:

    I'm a reapplicant and they seem to really encourage taking gap years, so I hope so! I haven't seen either Hull or York, so I don't have a preference. Sounds great

    Heya, I don't think I received one when I applied so I'm guessing they won't send them out this year .

    I am having lots of fun, working hard and playing hard!

    It is really good, the work load is quite heavy but if you can organise then you will have no problems.

    As for gap years, I took one and I genuinely think it gave me skills and experiences that I simply didn't have the opportunity to develop at school. It really helped me at the interview stage.

    I'm not that much of a partier but people seem to be doing exactly that!

    That's the beauty of HYMS, the course is integrated so the pbl forms the basis of the weeks work AND it is supported by a vast array of plenaries, clinical skills sessions, biopracticals etc that help develop information and skills relevant to the pbl case.

    The community at HYMS is great as well! Everyone is extremely supportive.

    There's no need to put module scores on the UCAS form for HYMS is there?
