are you AS or A2? if youre A2 then you dont have 3 A grades which is needed, i assume youre AS thought due to 4 A levels. If youre AS and get predicted 3 A's then yeah go ahead and apply, hopefully you have other strong aspects of your application. good luck!

Haven't read exactly how they score people, if they rank people on as grades then maybe not but you still can. If they rank on predicted a2 then you can apply. Do you know what your predicted grades will be?

I think you'll be fine. On the key memory stick it doesn't say anything about a cutoff, but states that the median Leeds applicant got 665 last year, and the median for offer holders was slightly lower than this. From the open day, I though she said 615, but I'm probably wrong.

I think it was the large variety of clubs and societies that they have there are so many things that I want to try and not all universities seem to offer such a large variety of activities and the accommodation looks decent so I think I could be comfortable there. Personally I don't mind the wait :colondollar:

Everything is good, apart from your lacking in work expeirnece within a hospital or Gp. And then the rest is down to your personal statement.

Shadowing doctors? Your going to find with your grades the schools you apply to are going to have personal statement as a sizable factor.

And nobody can really tell you weather you stand a chance as that is subjective, if you want an interview from a place like leeds you personal statement needs to be perfect.
