BSMS Medicine Applicants 2013

Wait...4 A's at AS scores 20/20 for academics? Just like that? Totally ignoring GCSE's?!

FINALLY. I can compete for a place in medical school...

(sounds too good to be true, but a girl can dream...)

I think they look at your GCSE's and AS's and score them, whichever one you did better in, will be your academic score, so yes 4A's should get you full marks

3 A* and 9As at GCSE
4 As at AS level
Predicted 3 As in Biology, Chemistry and Philosophy (Dropped English)
Doing an EPQ on Stem Cells
UKCAT average of 680

How do I stand - with a chance?

You get maximum academic score because you got 4 A's at AS. I'm sure of it because they emailed me just this afternoon:


If we see aaaa at AS level in your UCAS application you will get maximum academic score.


Kind regards

Thanks, what's the weighting on the UKCAT like?

Hey guys, well my UCAS deadline is in three days and I have not decided on my 4th Uni! ¬¬ Im thinking of one outside of London... So far either, BSMS, Nottingham, UEA, Keele, Exeter or Plymouth.. I NEED HELP. My (London) choices are St George's, Barts and Imperial.
If you guys could advise me about whether or not to apply here would be GREAT xD
So my "profile":
- GCSE 4A* and 7A's (one A* and A in short courses)
- AS: AAAA
- A2 Predictions: A*A*A* (Im scared i wont achieve them ((( - What kinda conditional grades would i get??)
- UKCAT: 688
- Two work experiences (1- hospital and 1- GP) and two permanent volunteering placements.
- Hopefully a good PS.

What should I do?

D:

I've got my achieved A-level grades.

Called them up yesterday, he said I would get 14/15 because of my B in the 4th AS
Someone said it was out of 20??Someone also said you get full marks if you have your achieved A-level grades??

Can someone give me a link to where they said about their scoring system? I tried to go on their website but can't find it?

They want 4 A's either at AS or the A level. It is out of a possible 20. An A* makes no difference as well.

I think they have an obsession with consistency.

It's so stupid! One man on the phone said out of 15. I get 14.
A person on this thread who said she's up to date with the admin process since she knows them, said its out of 20 and AAA will get you full marks

What are your A levels? I would imagine that three A's should get you full marks..

Does anyone know if it's too risky applying to BSMS with aaab at AS (b in maths, As in bio, chem and English lit)? I have 7A* 3A and 1B at GCSEs but I didn't really get the A*s in sciences, does that matter?

Considering applying here, at A2 I've got AAB (German, Chemistry, Biology - German is 2 UMS off an A*, so it's being re-marked). The AS Levels are: AAABb (German, Chemistry, Biology, Maths, Critical Thinking).

I'm a re-sit applicant, re-sitting Biology and my predicted grade will be an A.

At GCSEs, I have 8 A*, 1 A, 1 B (A in Core Science, B in English Language)

Can anyone guesstimate what my academic score would be?

Cheers
