Can I apply to all of them? Do some look upon it more favourably than others?? If so, do I still require AAA, even though I got a 1st in my biomedical science degree? Is it worth it?

Thanks

Most of them. You'll have to check for yourself. No. Yes.

@Leicester- I think they prefer older students, you don't need AAA with a 1st, and yes it is worth it.
You're welcome.

looks round makes sure renal isn't about ... seizes the moment ...

ALL pre-registration Medicine programmes in the UK are Undergraduate ...

'graduate entry' specific courses vs 'normal' courses is a uni by uni thing ...

at least you didn't call it postgraduate medicine, that really upsets some of the Docs on the site ...

You can apply to both the A100 five year courses and the four year graduate entry programmes, both of which are undergraduate degrees.

The A level requirements will vary from med school to med school. More infos here:

Yes you can apply to 5/6 year courses as a graduate.

Thankyou, I am aware that you can apply, my question is, even though I have a 1st in my degree, do I STILL need AAA along with the school leavers to apply to the 5/6 year courses, and also, is it much less intense than the 4 year graduate entry courses?

Thankyou, but you are not answering my questions

It depends on the university's. But I do not have AAA and I have had one offer and still waiting on another interview for undergraduate medicine. (I'm a graduate) Just pick your uni's wisely.

It's much less intense, but it's still harder than applying as an undergraduate. Some uni's have a capped amount of graduate places so you're no longer competing for 200 places... more like 40. But it's ridiculously hard to get a graduate place. I would recommend that, if money isn't an issue, you apply for 2 undergraduate courses, and 2 graduates.

In fact if you feel your UKCAT isn't AMAZING (At least 670. At least) then I would just apply for more undergraduate places. Mine was rubbish so I applied for 3 undergraduates and 1 graduate this year. Didn't get into the graduate place. But fortunately I can afford the ridiculous fees, whereas some people don't get much choice and have to apply for Graduate, which is why the competition is so fierce.

Yes you can apply to all of them (AFAIK).

I don't think they look upon having a degree more favourably.

Only some of them require AAA (it would be best to check each uni website). AFAIK, most will only require something likie BBB.

What do you mean "is it worth it?". Are you asking if it's worth paying all that money? If so, only you can answer that question.

That depends on the medical school, but in most cases they will either have a lowered A level requirement or will entirely forgo A levels and only look at your degree to see if it has the relevant biology and chemistry content. Check with the medical schools you're interested in. One more thing, make sure you can afford the 5 year degrees, as unlike the four year GEPs you will not be eligible for a student loan so you'll have to find £9K pa yourself.
