Re: St George's University London SGUL Biomedical Science prospective students 2012I would not accept this as a definite statement , they have no reason to accept a student if they don't make the grades as I am pretty sure on the applicants day they said the course was massively over subscribed to.(Original post by Kittt)
how much lower than the grade requirements do you reckon they'd allow? one grade? gahhh i'm in a similar situation, but i have a feeling im going to get a C overall for chemistry knowing how much of a flop my exam today was
Good luck to everyone as well , hopefully will be seeing you all in september ( if I can get the grades too ) ! -

Re: St George's University London SGUL Biomedical Science prospective students 2012Heyyy guys
Sounds like no one has received the letter we were promised after the first of june
I still havent sent anything in
and i emailed them because i already gave in like all the documents when i went for a different interview at sgul and thought it would be so much easier if they could use the same ones, but they said they cant. I asked for a list of documents im still suppose to send in as well but they didnt really say anything in response to that.
Soooo any advice guys?

Re: St George's University London SGUL Biomedical Science prospective students 2012Tooting isn't the safest place? Huuh? What are you on about? I've lived in Tooting for a fair few years of my life. Never witnessed much trouble. And yeah, a lot of restaurants, but you had better like indian and pakistani food(Original post by Kittt)
haha thank you, same to you! i got a conditional offer of ABB, what about you?
well i suppose i know as much as everyone else really, but reasons why i liked it were because:
1) small uni, such a friendly atmosphere, & everyone seemed so supportive. this was the only uni where i got that super friendly vibe from.
2) the biomed course is way more clinical than other biomed courses, and the clinical element was something that appealed to me a lot.
3) the mum's & dad's system sounds so nice, and seems like a great way to get to know people in the years above.
4) so yeah maybe Tooting isn't the safest place but it's such a vibrant place with loads of shops and restaurants, and its not that far from home so it ticked the location box.
5) one of the most important things to me: i felt SO at home and felt so comfortable being at the uni and speaking to current students.
so yeah! :P

Re: St George's University London SGUL Biomedical Science prospective students 2012i've heard it from a lot of people! not saying its a really bad place or anything like that! :P but like the uni even said they dont want people walking back to halls alone at night because it's not safe.. then again that's basically applicable to going out anywhere at night i guess :P(Original post by Xarren)

Re: St George's University London SGUL Biomedical Science prospective students 2012The people here i think are mostly those going to sgul next yr.. i.e the 2012 Biomeds(Original post by drsher)
hi guys,
I have an offer for biomed from SGUL... From what i have seen on this thread everybody is really excited.. I have a lot of passion for medicine and so i am planning to apply for medicine after i complete my Biomed degree..
To current students, i would really love to get a first or 2.1 (requirement for Medicine for graduates), Do you have to study all day to get 2.1 or a first...
On the social side, i am slightly nervous on how settling in period is going to work?? Guys, how is the atmosphere?? One of my friends is starting medicine at SGUL aswell.. Do you get to see people from different departments often as well???
Thanks guys
i think we'd all settle in pretty well.. did you go for the open day?.. if you did, you would have settled in straight away. i loved it there. the people, the atmosphere, the lecturers.. everyone's really nice. ad plus, i heard that the med students would be doing biomed subjects in the 1st two years. which is why the 3rd yr med transfer works at sgul. so dont worry about meeting up with the medics there.. we're all gnna together. its a small uni, so easy to travel and bump into each other..
i heard that the welcome packs arrived for some people, so we should all be getting it soon too
Good luck xxx
