    Um, you write a good personal statement, gather your IGCSE/ equivalent certificates, and basically work hard to get good predicted grades for whatever board you're doing now. That's about it, I think.

    k. I got A*s for all my IGCSE O/L subs. Is that good enough to get into Edinburgh medical school? plus how high should my UKCAT score be?

    Don't know about medicine (I'm starting this year for English) but Edinburgh's bound to be one of the most competitive medical schools out there. Obviously getting all A*s in IGCSE is good enough, you can't achieve any higher :rolleyes:
