I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather.. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.

How is everyone? Yayayayayayayay half term soon. (although my plan is lots of revision notes)

I really can't wait until Christmas. I just had this thought. I'm not usually the excited sort, but I really can't wait this year!! Maybe it's because my dad bought one of those scented candle air-freshener's and it smells like Christmas that I'm feeling seasonal.

Random post, but nobody had said anything for a while :biggrin:

Ahh. Well, mine are limited! I'd say something like 'at least you're a medical student' but I'm sure that you're not seeing that as any consolation :biggrin:

Hi there! I have applied to Barts, very excited.

I apologise if this has already been asked, but do General Studies and Critical Thinking (AS level) count towards the UCAS tariff?

I am aware that they don't count towards offers, but was just wondering if I could count them towards my tariff points :smile:

They were compulsory at my old school and I have two useless As otherwise!

Thank you for reading :smile:

Nope

Some courses have what's called a 'reading week' which is basically a half term.. but you won't get that with medicine.. just week in week out until term ends :tongue:

I highly doubt it.

Does anyone know if Barts are actually doing the multiple mini interviews this year?

I've not heard anything about this and doubt they would. They've stuck to the same interview process for a long time. I guess we'll find out for sure when interview invites go out, but in the mean time if I bump into any admissions staff on campus I'll ask them :smile:

Do any unis give ''test at interview''? Or is that just Cambridge/Oxford/somecourses in impy?

I have a question if anyone can help me out,
I achieved 39 points on the IB with 7,6,6,6 at higher level (I did 4 highers) and 6,5 at standard level with 3 points in the 'inner core'. On the UCAS tariff tables for the IB they give an overall score for the points received and a score for each grade depending on whether it was taken to higher or standard level. If I calculate my tariff per grade my score is much greater than that for the overall number of points....?
Does anybody know which score Barts may use?
Thanks :smile:
