Just wondering what do they mean by 'cashing in AS level grades' ?

Hi everyone!
I'm in year 13 now studying Biology, Chemistry and Maths.
I've got an A at AS Level in Economics.
I got 8A*s, 2A's and 2Bs at GSCE. A in English Language and A* in Maths.
My UKCAT score was 767.5 (3070)
I am also applying to Manchester (my local uni) and KIngs College London.
I don't know what university I should have as my fourth?
Also, do you think I stand a realistic chance getting interviews?
Thanks!!

Hiya, your academics are great so I'm pretty sure you'll pass that stage! However your personal statement has to be good enough to get you through to interview as once they've narrowed it down to 1000 people, PS is all that matters. If you think your PS Is up to scratch then I don't see why Leeds isn't an option for you! However there are probably med schools that would be less of a risk for a fourth choice as PS is obviously very subjective. Have you had a look at Birmingham , Hull York, Newcastle and Cardiff? :smile:

I know! I'm pretty damn worried about my PS haha! I have absolutely no clue if it's any good or not but we'll just have to go for it :biggrin:

Leeds is my favourite though and it's my most risky :frown:

I think I'd literally kiss the admissions tutor if I got in hahah!

Leeds is awesome!! Just praying that my PS is decent, but it is so hard to tell!!!

Haha I would too :biggrin:

Leeds was just so cool! Looked like a place made for students

It really is! My step sister lives there and she absolutely loves it. I really wanted to be in/near a city too. I can't imagine being in the back end of nowhere haha.

I know what you mean about the PS, I think mine's ok but I'm not sure if it's great. I sent it round a few people and they said it should do the job but I guess it's about who reads it and what they're looking for on the day really.

It looks amazing, just got to keep our fingers crossed :smile:

I know mine isn't bad but I'm very unsure whether it is good!! PS is so subjective as you say :/ Oh well, hopefully we'll both get interviews :biggrin:

At least at some of my other choices I should be guaranteed interviews so it isn't overly risky!

Yeah, that's what I've done so hopefully I should get at least one interview! I think we've applied to similar places so we might end up running into each other at some point!

Yeah, I remember that at least 2 were the same! Where did you end up applying? I went for Edinburgh, Leeds, Leicester, Newcastle :biggrin:
