Was going to ask the same question :P... waiting for the post or an email :/p
I think it'll be by post as on the UNIQ homepage it mentions everyone apart from medicine will be getting their letters at the expected date.
Obviously not sure though 
Does anyone know when Sutton Trust get back to us?

Aw man, UCL don't cut slack do they? What do they look for in AS?
well UCL like ASes as well.
Schools put different emphasis on your AS grades, push for the best you can get, a nice set of As will help if you want to apply to UCL because they like AS.

I know how you feel! I got this bug last week, and I was literally like "WHY GOD, WHY NOW?!" but the worst of it turned out to be over in a couple of days...hope you feel better soon, it can be a pain in the arse when it's the holidays and you're staring at the mile-high amount of work you've got to do, and then you never feel like doing it, till it gets to the point where you feel ill just thinking about it :") DON'T think about it......yet. Get better first, ensure your feeling tip-top, and then hit the revision hard!

It was monday, tuesday and today, and I did ward rounds in morning and then clinics in the afternoon, but today afternoon I saw reconstructive breast surgery instead which was good but so tiring walking round, I'm shattered now urgh core 2! how much/ how have you been revising? Hate maths so much, I'm thinking of dropping it :/ what subjects do you do?

Thank you!!
Ahh, I tried that. Took two paracetamol and didn't feel any difference. Although I do feel worse now and it's been over four hours, so maybe I just didn't notice the difference. (I have no idea if that makes sense, I don't even make sense to myself right now

It's the worst feeling when you have work to do! But I'm so glad it came this week and not next, because I'm on work experience next week. Thank you though, I shall concentrate on getting better first, don't think I'll take much in feeling like this

Aw man, UCL don't cut slack do they? What do they look for in AS?
Taken straight from UCL's Selection Procedure (italicisation is mine) :
[INDENT]"Although there is no simple relationship between academic performance and whether or not a student will make a ‘good’ doctor, there is some evidence that those with low grades or those who need to re-sit examinations are more likely to have academic problems with the programme. GCSEs will be used as a general indicator of the candidate’s academic background. AS-level grades are used to gauge academic performance (a strong performance at AS, particularly in Chemistry and Biology, is expected of prospective medical students)."[/INDENT]
UCL is one of the toughest medical schools to get into in the country, I think even the best of applicants should think twice before applying there...
Gah, chemistry revision is sooo dull
How much revision is everyone managing to do?
