UEA Medicine with a Foundation year a104 2013

Hi guys, I had a quick question that I hope you might be able to answer. Firsty, do we need any jabs/health checks for our course, and second does anybody know what a typical week is like- do we have to go 5 days a week or is it any less? I wasn't able to make it to the open day so I don't really know. Thanks for reading guys! :wink:

Yes I think so. We do all the "a-level" stuff with all the other Foundation students for other courses, but I think after xmas we have more med related stuff.

There's more information here:

Just click each module for more information.

Was wonderign if anyone could help. They want ABB for 2014 entry. I got CCC, narrowly missing out on BBB by few marks. So i reckon i will get BBB next year.

Will they consider me with those predicted grades?

I do have extenuating circumstances that hindered m ability to attain the grades i would normally get.

Thanks

Try as much as you can to get your predicted grades changed if you think you can achieve ABB.

In all honesty i dont think i can get an A without retaking one module in Maths, however, i also want to apply to Nottingham and they only allow one retake which i already have done. So getting an A would mean i need 90% in all my last 3 modules which is going to be very hard considering i have a medical condition that already hinders my performance.

Well you can only do summer exams so by the time it comes to entering exams you will know where you have offers so if you get an offer from nottingham theres no need for resits, if you dont you can resit and increase your chance at other places. Just get the prediction of ABB.

Hi, I was just wondering what the people who got accepted to the 6year UEA course got for their UKCAT. Or anyone who has a good idea for that matter

I got 595 which sucks I know but my GCSEs are pretty okay. A*AAAAABBB(RE,Double Science, English Lang, Literature,Psychology,Geog,Maths and Biology) At AS I got ABCC (Psychology,Bio,Chem and Maths-which I am dropping). I was just wondering am I not good enough because of my UKCAT? I meet the eligibility criteria and will be predicted the grades required.

UEA consider your application as a whole so if you feel you are a strong candidate in other areas you should apply. Your UKCAT will not rule you out. Good luck :smile:

Thanks man, I got in :smile:

Hey I was wondering what you did in your foundation year and if it's difficult to get into the second year? It says you need to achieve 75% but I'm not sure how tough that is for univeristy standard.. Thanks!!

Apologies to resurrect this old thread but i want to apply to UEA however the requirement is that your school must have 60% or less achieving A*-C at GCSE. In the year i took my GCSE's the percentage was 62% :frown:

but in other years it was less than 60% e.g. 48%. So will they be a bit lenient on the percentage or not - or do they average out the percentages over the last years?

thanks
