Discussion of individual medical schools and their courses for applicants and current students. Not for all those 'Am I Good Enough' questions.

Re: Southampton Medical School 2012 ApplicantsHey! If you sent your papers in, you still have the academic requirement to fulfill in order for your offer to turn unconditional. If you have already achieved the grades and sent the results in, maybe you should call them to ask about it.(Original post by Long Time Coming)
So I sent my papers like two weeks ago and UCAS track hasn't changed. Should I call them?
It can't really hurt to confirm and get an answer!

Re: Southampton Medical School 2012 ApplicantsSmh30 has said after ringing them up they won't be updating offers until June at the earliest, so I wouldn't worry about it!(Original post by Long Time Coming)

Oh I see. Thanks a lot for telling me this. This will save them another useless phone call.(Original post by turnor123)

Re: Southampton Medical School 2012 Applicants
Heya,
I am not sure which of the health questionnaires need to be filled out and returned as I have yet to receive my vaccinations and won't be starting until after the 1st of June. If someone could just explain which forms they filled out and sent in the envelope I would be very grateful. Many thanks -

... hopefully they get there in time!!
I filled in all the forms as best as i could and booked an appointment with a nurse at my gp to give me a list of all the vaccinations i have had. Some bits like the pathology report for chicken pox, they didn't have, so i just ticked yes that i had it before.
Take photocopies of all of them so you can keep them. If you havent started the vaccines yet like me, just idicate it on the form. It says at the bottom that you can update the copy and bring it to the uni on your first day.
I put the health form in the white envolope, then in the brown.
Am i the only one that found the whole form filling really intimidating and actually made more complex then neccessary?? -
Re: Southampton Medical School 2012 ApplicantsI'll be quite honest here. The form is a bit complex, but when asked people on TSR about it, I got the hang of it. I was a bit frustrated with the postal service here in Canada, who now can't seem to find my package. It's nowhere to be found, and they expect me to wait 90 DAYS to get it back. I had to take alternative measures, which was a bit of a drag. I'm just glad that's out of the way.(Original post by H.J.P)

Re: Southampton Medical School 2012 ApplicantsThanks annoying!! You could just email them, I rang them up and they gave me that option (didn't do it though).(Original post by doctork2)

Re: Southampton Medical School 2012 Applicants(Original post by nareen9)
Same here!
Did you by any chance scan your forms? I scanned mine incase they got lost in the mail, so I have copies, so if I just re-print mine i'm hoping it'll be okay
I don't think it is a big problem. As long as you kept a copy (either scanned or photocopied) it should be fine
So how's everyone doing - school's going well? I'm done school in about a month - can't wait for October!
Best of luck everyone! -
Re: Southampton Medical School 2012 Applicants
Reading these posts has got me a bit worried. I filled in all the forms as best as I could, and sent them all off in the same envelope. I didn't think I'd need to scan anything
Think I'll give them a ring and see if they've got them fine. As for the yellow form, I was under the impression once you sent it to them, after checking through it they would have it there so you can take it to your OH day/ update if necessary. I mean it did say to send it to the specified address once you've completed it didn't it, or what would be the point in sending them out to us? Unless I completely missed something, it seems ages since I did them

Re: Southampton Medical School 2012 Applicants
Uh oh... Seems like I created a wave of worry for people. My apologies!
I think it's okay if you included the yellow sheet in the envelope. I will call the admissions office tomorrow to clear things up - I'm pretty sure it's not a big deal.
Take a deep breath and relax

Re: Southampton Medical School 2012 ApplicantsHahaha don't worry about it!(Original post by turnor123)
Haha, yeah thanks man, I was starting to hyperventilate a little there
How is everyone getting on with exams? Or if you're like me, hows the gap year treating you?
My exams start in June, so I have plenty of time to revise
How is your gap year?

Re: Southampton Medical School 2012 Applicants
No worries I was kidding with you, my problem is not worrying enough
I doubt there'll be much of a problem, I'll just ring them and if I've missed anything out, I can just update them on the OH day thing. Yeah going really well thanks, back to working again before I go off to America in two weeks to work at a camp for the summer. Can't wait
Good luck with your exams, I'm sure you'll do well and not mess up like me the first time
