    Hello all

    A successful(barely) Malaysian applicant here, don't hesitate to ask me any questions.

    Link to my profile

    http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/show...=26&p=37571190

    P.S You don't need heaps of impressive sounding work experience, you just need to be able to learn and observe things at the workplace and also be able to elaborate on them.

    You should contact the universities directly about your qualifications & degree. However, if you think that your english is not good enough to take the GAMSAT exam, how do you think you will cope with the course as all the teaching + examinations are done in english. The GAMSAT is an admissions test and cannot be substituted by another course / certification in most cases. (Some universities will accept the UKCAT instead)

    Woooo international applicants! I can't believe it's been like 4 years since I applied. Doesn't feel that long ago. Anyways if anyone has any questions for me then send me a personal message. Little bit about me: I'm from Canada and went straight from high-school to medical school. I'm heading into 4th year of medicine so I'll be good at answering questions about how's it like to be an international student in uni/studying medicine and future job worries and so on.

    DMD starts at like 7ish...Summer Social you can go in at like midnight. So you could technically go to both.
