UCL Biomedical Sciences Applicants 2012

YEY Finally Biomed thread specifically for UCL applicants. I have sent my questionnaire a couple of months ago and received my offer, after attending their UCAS day It's going to be my firm offer I think, how's your application going????

Congrats! My application was a bit funny actually. I sent it in way back in October, but never got a notification beyond the acknowledgement, so I decided to email them a short while ago to check whether there's anything wrong. Don't know what happened (maybe they forgot/misplaced my application somehow?) but they sent me the questionnaire right afterwards, and gave me an offer two days after I sent it back.

Gonna wait until all my offers come in first, but UCL has a good chance of being my firm!

Wow that's really strange!!!! Good job you emailed them then, and congrats on your offer Which other universities did you apply to????

Going for ICL, UCL (duh!), Durham, Edinburgh and Warwick. You?

Hi all, ive just got this invitation for an open day after i submitted the questionnaire. Do i have to attend it to have a chance of getting an offer? Its just that im on a gap year and i am probably going abroad during that date but i obviously want an offer

Just got my offer! Do you know if you can change courses, for example, to neuroscience once you have the offer?

Heyy, that's what I am considering as well. I'm not sure about if they let you change right away, maybe email Jeremy Cook (he's the neuroscience programme tutor). Even if they don't let you, all biomed students have the opportunity to transfer to various programmes including neuroscience after first year (providing you do well enough)

Hello When I went to the open day, the admissions staff Sao that only 10% of biomed applicants opt to transfer over, but only about 5% actually do-although I don't really know why this is I might email to find out. I was contemplating transferring over Neuroscience- although they did say that biomed has better career prospects as it is more broad

hello again hmmm...that's strange what happens to the other 5% ? If you do email and get a reply could you message me please. Biomed is probably better in terms of giving you options but ucl neuroscience is really highly ranked and I've now come to realise that's the area I'm most interested in.

Oh well, I'll probably just email Dr. Cook after I get my offer (should I get my offer)

Does an invite to the UCL open day mean that they will definitely give you an offer? or will they still sort through applicants after that?

yes on the 9th March what hapens at the open day? waiting to hear from my med schools though
