Anyone have any idea about Brighton calculation test? I have already done it online as a part of admission procedure now they will take in uni as well plus two weeks program in uni .... what's all dat and what's its significance plz explain
Its normally 5 questions and you do not need to show working out.
I'm applying to Pharmalife, I've nearly completed my application and just looking for some advice really as I'm applying from Scotland and we aren't informed much about this system.
I'm thinking of applying to Chelsea and Westminster, Imperial, Brighton and Sussex University and Newcastle. I keep seeing people talking about starred hospitals, how do I determine if these hospitals are?
Any other advice on better areas more likely to have less competition would be great please, difficult choosing when you dont know the areas that well

Pharmalife opted not to use the star system this year, but some of the regional pages give information about how many applications per post their hospitals received over the last three years. I would say all the hospitals you are considering would be popular choices with pre-reg applicants. You might want to consider applying to one or two smaller hospitals.
Ideally you would visit any hospitals you are going to apply to, but that might not be practical for you travelling from Scotland! If you haven't done so already it would be a good idea to speak to a pre-reg tutor at any hospitals you are interested in to have a chat about their training programme, etc.

Does anyone know how competitive these are? I know about Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, but not the others. I would very much appreciate an answer.
All the best everyone with your applications! I hope you all get the one you want the most!
anybody applying to or have any advice with regards to hospitals in the Northwest?
Hey Mubs! Yeah I applied to the Northwest. I don't know much about it except that it is one of the biggest and busiest health trusts in the capital, and thus why I chose it. I am an EU student so I don't know much about different places in the UK and so I only applied to the capital. Have you found out much information about it? Which other hospitals are you applying to/ have applied to? All the best wishes!
I am sooo upset right now. I cannot believe that I deleted my St. George hosp app last minute, and it was actually my FIRST choice. I see through this site: http://www.pharmalife.co.uk/pagetemp/tinymce/uploaded/regional/D/documents/Applications%20data%2010-11-12%20per%20region%20London010520121335884036.pdf that they actually don't get as many applications, and not as competitive. I actually had a shot! I want to seriously break down and cry. oh my God, why did I do that?!?!?! It has always been the hospital that I have wanted to apply to since first beginning, and I don't know what the hell went into me in my sleep drepivation this morning when I just suddenly decided to change .

Thanks a lot Choc Ice. Do you have any idea when we find out if we've been short-listed for interviews in the London area? Which hospitals did you apply to? Thanks and best of luck with yours too!

Hey Tzoeule, Imperial, Great Ormond Street and Royal Brompton I think are quite compeitive but im not too sure about northwest. I have applied to Croydon University, Epsom and St Helier, Royal Marsden and Chelsea and Westminster. Do not be too upset about not applying to St Georges. It is a really good hospital to work at as far as I know, but you have applied to 4 good hospitals and hopefully you will a place at one of them. If you look on the pharmalife website it tells you when some interviews are taking place so they will contact you before those dates to let you know if you have been short listed. Good luck, hope it goes well for you!

Hey ShaziaHK. Foremost Thank you for your reply! I hope you get a place with one of these hospitals too. Yeah you're right - at the end of the day I just want a pre-reg with hospital in London really, so I'm trying not to be too upset about it. And besides it's done now and I can't go back. Thank you, yeah I have seen the interview dates - do you have any idea how long before the interviews they contact us if we get shortlisted? Maybe it's different for everyone. But I assume they don't contact us like the day before? I am asking as I am not a UK student but an EU student and so I am home for the summer, and so I won't be coming back until I know if I have gotten an interview and thus will have to buy my ticket when I know.
I just received an email from pharmalife there and an interview for the Royal Marsden
Wow that's great! Well done for getting an interview! When is your interview date? I keep checking my email and pharmalife. It feels like UCAS all over again
