I haven't started anything yet. I really need to start cracking and do something. I just keep having second doubt on myself whether I am capable of doing medicine( feeling horrible& don't know who to talk to about this because no one really understand how I feel about this!)

As for universities....... need to read up more before I even can pin more hope on any of them


:frown: how come you're feeling like that? don't beat yourself up about it too much, everyone deserves a bit of a break, it is summer after all :smile: you've still got plenty of time to prepare everything if you do decide to go through with it.
it is a big commitment though so it's normal to feel a bit apprehensive. i hope you feel like you can make a better decision soon though. pm me if you like and i'll try and help in any way i can :smile:

Are you applying for 2013 entry??







Yes I am :smile: i'm looking to apply to Warwick, King's, Newcastle for GEP and then an UG programme as well as my 4th choice - i'm thinking Manchester but keep changing my mind......not sure whether to go the whole hog and apply for 4 grad programmes (Southampton BM4). :confused:

I'm fairly limited where I can apply as I don't have Biology AS and i'm doing a Physics degree, but luckily there's still a good choice :smile:

are you studying at the moment as well?
Ie decided that anyone who finds anatomy interesting is clinically insane.

Yes,just finished 2nd yr Biomed.
All my choices are 4yr. I don't think I could afford the 5yr programmes as a grad.

As far as I understand, grads need to meet the same entry requirements as school leavers (your degree doesn't have much bearing) and after that it's a level playing field.

Obviously grads may have had more life experience and time to get volunteering / shadowing sorted, so you could argue they have an edge in those aspects of their application.

Not meaning to be condescending at all when I say this... that's what the grad entry route is for.

Hello people,

I'm going to med school in september and I've got lots of medicine application materials which I want to get rid of.

GAMSAT Materials

- The official practise questions/tests (all of them). I'm selling them for half RRP.
- The medprep textbooks and practise questions. You can have these all for 5quid because IMO they're not very good
- A Kaplan MCAT textbook, which I think is actually the best things to use for revision for the science section. I've got the 2011 edition, which I'm selling for 30quid

OTHERS

- UKCAT 600 qs (an excellent book) - 7quid
- Medical School Interviews ISBN 1-905812-04-3. Also a good book - 7quid
- BMAT 400qs - 5quid

These are all for pickup from central london.

Thanks
2nd year exams over, now to get my application together :biggrin:

Well thats it, got a 2:2 and forced to graduate unable to take up my place at Warwick :-( I hope whoever gets given my place makes the best of it, and i'll just have to reapply in september for St Georges and Nottingham and hope for the best. I hope everyone who has a place has a fab time at med school, i'l see you there next year!
