    It's not healthy to talk about oneself in third person.

    This. There was an Oxbridge meeting at our college and my friends were genuinely surprised when I didn't go. I don't really see what makes them any better than another medical school, tbh. In fact, the traditional style of teaching is a distinct disadvantage in my eyes, but obviously everyone learns in different ways
    We had one yesterday....what are the chances :lol:

    Turned up 15 mins late, asked if I went to the Bahamas on a gap year, whether they would take away an offer, and then left :P

    Would 2 A*s,5 As,3 Bs and a C be enough to get into med school??

    Yeah. I don't see why you wanted more because your GCSEs are amazing. They're more than enough for all the medical schools, or so I think
    Haha thank you - well not really for Birmingham :/

    (Original post by Aspire_to_Inspire)
    I actually got confused as well to be honest...

    How are you able to apply for sutton trust summer schools? I thought you went to a grammar school? Is that also allowed?

    How much work experience do you have - I've seen so many people here refer to you when talking about work experience?

    (sorry I've kind of asked too many questions )
    Haha!!

    Yeah Grammar schools can apply because technically they're state schools

    Haha yep that's because I was on a mission last term to get w/e.

    I'll type it up later as the lunch bell has just gone :P

    Something tells me PSQ isn't applying anywhere this year, seeing as he's not an applicant, he's a medical student

    Is anyone here applying to both UNIQ at Oxford and Sutton Trust Cambridge? I'm almost certain I will be applying to Cambridge next year, but I've heard amazing things about UNIQ and it will allow me to learn even more about Medicine, but will also give me a chance to see if I really do prefer Cambridge to Oxford.

    Plus, Sutton Trust say you can't apply to more than one Sutton Trust summer school, but as UNIQ is a separate programme then I'm pretty sure this is allowed.

    Wrote my application for medview at Kings college london. Wrote really good answers to the set questions, incorporating all my experience. Then I forgot that I didnt download it from my email, and my saves werent actually saving my application form. Close Word to go onto my email, and then I lost my application form, along with all my answers.

    Absolutely gutted, feel like crying.
