St. Andrews Medical Applicants 2014

Stay positive! :smile:

If you do get a rejection tho take a year out to improve you application and re-apply , don't give up! I am a re-applicant and I got my first offer from St Andrews this week, all of the hard work has really payed off, 3 people from my school did the same and have also all been offered places this year, gap years work! :biggrin:

Interview went so terrible today!
Absolutely gutted, prepared so well too!
Just felt so overcome by nerves, couldn't think straight or talk sense -_-, gap-year applicant too!!!!! :frown:

A lot of people are in the same position as you. As long as you are not rejected, you are still in for a chance! Mine went horrifically too.

Got an email through yesterday to say they are in the process of making me an offer via UCAS for the St Andrews-Barts route! 3 years in St Andrews, and 3 years in London! Couldn't have asked for a better offer!
Good Luck to those of you still waiting to hear, and hopefully I'll see you in September!

Hey don't worry. Relax until they make a decision, the wait is horrible but it will hopefully be worth it in the end mate :smile:

Guys help. St Andrews, Dundee or Aberdeen? St Andrews was always my first choice, but the Manchester route is putting me off it a little.. Plus I wonder if I'll miss the clinical contact in the first three years that you get at Dundee and Aberdeen but not St Andrews. I'm so happy to have the option but I'm really struggling to figure out which to firm. Any thoughts would be really helpful!

I'm not going to lie, I miss decent patient contact at St. Andrews but I was a nurse so had a lot before starting Uni and prob would have felt this way at any course! However I now have a good solid grounding to base my clinical years on, anatomy experience second to none and can take a damn good patient history!!

All three unis will make you a doctor, so I guess it cones down to where do you want to live?? And unless you are planning on intercalating do you want the extra year? Clinical years are honestly what you make of it, so doesn't matter where you are!

Good luck choosing!!

I guess it depends how much you want early clinical contact. I applied to and got rejected by Aberdeen but i truly loved the city, the course and the medical campus was huge with so many facilities - the kind you won't get at St Andrews - It certainty would have been my second choice after St Andrews (not that I'm bitter or anything!). On the other hand Manchester may be PBL and have low student satisfaction but when you're in your final 3 years you're mostly on placement in some of the best city hospitals in the UK. For me, that experience combined with the excellent teaching in my St Andrews years would swing it for St Andrews but the choice is yours. Can't speak much for Dundee since I didn't apply there but the city seems nice enough :smile:
