Birmingham Medical School Applicants 2014

Cheers
So they don't look at the PS much? I have work experience/voluntary work that I have mentioned and I think that's mainly what they just look out for?

Hey, anyone starting at Birmingham in September fancy getting to know others on the course before we arrive?

Hiya,

I'm thinking of applying to medicine but really stuck on what uni to apply for. I'm keen on Bristol and Birmingham but don't know if I have the grades. Was wondering if any one could help and give me there opinion.

At GCSE I achieved, 5A* in Bio, chem, RE, and 2 IT. 7A and a B.
At AS level, I acheived AABC (AA in bio and maths, B in chemistry but am going to retake a module to boost this up, and a C in history which I dropped at AS) I'm also going to pick up an EPQ.

In my UKCAT:
Verbal Reasoning 600
Quant 670
Abstract 540
Decision Analysis 610
SJT band 1

Can anyone recommend unis to apply for? and also opinion on whether I'll be a good applicant for birmingham?

Thankyou

got 10a*'s at gcse but got AAAb at AS in Chem,bio,maths,german respectively. Theres no point in me applying to birmingham is there because i dont have 4 A's at AS? sad really because i really like Birmingham

I am also really sad. I got 4 As (bio, che, maths and further maths) and 1 B (economics)in AS and I really want to go to birmingham. I am not sure whether to apply or not
anyone out there, please help

I was waiting for a 2015 entry thread to come up but there doesn't seem to be one yet..

So far I meet all their academic entry requirements for AS and GCSE except for English GCSE I got two As in English Lang and Lit. Is Birmingham therefore totally out of the question now?

Did any of you get an interview with just one aspect of their GCSE preferences missing?

Hello, I know this is the 2014 page but I couldn't find a thread for 2015

Sorry if I sound like a tit, but I REALLY want to do medicine at Birmingham. It would mean the world to me.
I have 9A*s and 3As and GCSE (Including Eng Lit, Maths and 3 Sciences), I have AAAA at AS (Maths, Bio, Chem, Physics), I'm Predicted A*A*A* for A2.
I know that meets the minimum academic entry requirements, but i'm wondering what else I need to do to increase my chances of getting an interview?

I have written about Hospital work experience, shadowing and care home volunteering in my PS. I've tried to be as reflective as possible and talk about what I have learnt etc.
I also have a range of ECs and volunteering.

As I said, What else do I need to include and/or make sure I have to increase my chances of getting an interview?


Thank you in advance

Hi,
Have you come across any students who got 4As in AS (biology, chemisty, maths, further maths) 1 B in Economics ( missed out by 1 mark to get an A)
Is it worth me applying.
thanks
