CURRENT YEAR 13s-Hopeful Medics (Mk. II)!

Scroll to see replies

I'm taking on a AS next year; something not too demanding and really engjoyable - philosophy. good choice? or should I take english lit, which I also like a lot but I don't think I have time to read and write essays.. not with doing maths,chem, and bio too :redface:

and what is basic requirement for GCSEs?

I know you need atleast B in english language, that I have and I'm not worried about my a level grades I'm well aware I need atleast all As, even better all A* that little extra for not having 8 As at GCSE (that probably most applicant will have :/) :biggrin:

It varies, UCL wants BB in English lang and maths, but some one 8A*s like Birmingham, the key to doing well in ucas, is which medical schools, as some put more emphasis on gcse, some BMAT or ukcat.

Having 4A* or 5A* and other As will but you in perfect position.

It's okay

wait, you want to do surgery? Paediatric surgery is a completely different specialty, and I'm pretty sure it's super competitive.

Serious Childhood illness or birth defects are most is quite interesting, and often stressful on parents or carers so i would like to help young children and parents to live a fine, life. Whenever its general or neuro it may change if i acutal get into medicine.

Most childhood illness or birth defects often affect the nervous system, so i would like to help young child to live a fine, and life-filled life.

This is both wrong and bizzare.

The first thing about childhood illnesses is wrong and all peadeatricans help child to have better medical outcomes, how can a life be more life filled.

Sorry rant over.
