St Georges Medicine Applicants 2012

Hehe. You're a tricksy one.

To be honest I've no idea what you're implying really lol.

Any additional hints would be greatly appreciated, by all I'm sure :wink:

Also - 'letters' as in proof of experience? Crikey - you know that never occurred to me! I'm sure I can get something for most of em - the most recent at least :s-smilie:

you need letters from all your work exp placements!.....

Well that's got me a little nervous! For some of my experiences, 'letters of evidence' simply don't apply.

See what I can sort out.

Could someone advise as to the worth of non-healthcare related voluntary experience? For example, I've been quite heavily involved in youth - empowerment projects here and there. Not directly relevant I suppose, but I'd like to think shows certain skills and attitudes that should contribute positively to my application.

you can definately use that!.....anything where your working with people is useful!!...as long as you can manipulate it to fit in with the attributes required to make a good doctor!

Its actually the recent ones within the past 2-3 years. The form they use has space for 5 work experiences.

Great. Thanks all.

Hi

I want to apply to St Georges 2013, I meet their GCSE requirements of 416 points from top 8 GCSEs (inc Maths/Eng Lang/Sciences).

After this are the GCSEs out of the way, or do they something with these points?

Are you sure about the June thing?

I just rung up to ask about the work experience thing, they said you have to have a headed letter from where ever you worked at the interview for them to consider it as a placement and to strengthen your application...

Your definitely not the weakest candidate!
You've got good grades, you've got an interview (same day as me so hopefully I'll see you there!), you can get in to do medicine!
Don't put yourself down (:
I'm sure you'll be fine!

you put the details of who they have to contact on the work experience form anyway.....so they can contact them without the letter anyway....

it says on their website somewhere that if not brought in at the interview stage you can do it by 1st of JUNE.....or your offer will be retracted....

dont panick :biggrin:

Omg I've been stressing out about getting these references because the lady told me that it will affect my application if I don't bring them with me to the interview because they will see it as me not actually doing my work exp at that place :frown:

I did my work experiences in different parts of england so it's been soo difficult to find the exact people :frown:

well what i would do is ring them up.....talk to them (afterall they must remember you...hopefully lol)

ask them for an email adress....so you can email them the times you worked and what you saw and did.....

that way they dont have to go to the effort of typing in tons of info.....
then ask them if they can print it off on headed paper and if there nice they'll post it to you....you could pick it up off them....OR send them an envelope with a postage paid envelope inside with your address for them to send it back to you...

on the email paste what st georges want on the letter too (its on their website i think....or in the email they send you) so that they dont make a mistake....

:biggrin:

i did that for one of my references :biggrin:

P.S
when is your interview?

Hey everyone.. I'm a bit confused. I got above the cut off mark for UKCAT (I got 635) and I got AABC for a levels, and predicted AAA. For GCSEs, I received 4A*6A1B.

St Georges normally interview all their applicants who meet their academic requirements right? Or am I mistaken?

Thanks in advance!

Has anyone had to rearrange their interview. How long did it take for them to get back to you with another date?
