St George's University Medicine Applicants 2013

i know you guys are probably tired of people asking "am i good enough to get in" but i'm gonna ask anyway :P my gcse's are 4A*s 7As, my AS grades are...
chem-B
French-A
Maths-B
Biology-A
however i am predicted 3A's in bio, chem and maths. I did my ukcat today and it was not good, 2450 (612.5 average) D: I have lots of work experience, i've been to 3-4 hospitals each for 2 weeks and i've volunteered at a care home for a year. My personal statement is pretty good (according to my tutor and other teachers) and i have a decent reference. I know my ukcat lets me down but do you reckon its worth me applying or would i get rejected straight away? any help would be much appreciated!

are you sure? do you know what the cut off was last year? thanks for the help!

yeah mine was 612.5 (really bad i know) so i won't meet the cut off will i?

haha only just, its annoying because in the practice tests i got from kaplan i was getting an average of high 600's and 700! oh well there's always next year thanks for your help though

I was the same actually, got lower than my mocks, and was especially annoyed since all my friends before the exam were like 'don't worry, you're doing well on the mocks and EVERYONE does better in the real thing' -_-

haha i was told that too! anyway i hope you get in and once again cheers for the help!

To be honest, mine wasn't actually that "fun" as most of my interview was with situation-based questions rather than the sort of tasks listed on their website. I did have a role play where I had to break bad news to someone on their wedding day, but because I smile when I'm nervous the 'actor' got really angry at me!

The weird thing about the interview is that other than repeating the question, the interviewer wont say anything else or help you at all. I remember I had an awful question about the NHS and the first 2 minutes was really awkward because I didn't have a clue what to say and so made the guy repeat the question 4 times! Also I found myself rambling on another question about research when I realised I didn't have five minutes worth of information about stem cells. I just wanted to avoid the awkward silence!

Do St. Georges give you an offer which is the same as your predicted grades?

Also how many applicants do they have? How many do they interview? and how many places and offers?
