QUB Medicine 2014

Hey just to say that I am also a scottish applicant for QUB.
Where else have you applied? I have also applied to Sheffield, Hull and York and Aberdeen. Well done you.... 4 advanced highers.....that is alot of work. Your scores look good.....i only get 5 points on my UKCAT. I am only doing 3 adv Highers....History, Bio and Chem

Where in Scotland are you? I'm a Glasgow girl myself. And with 3 As 2 Bs I need to push the boat out this year (I sat my highers a coupla years ago with a distinct lack of direction in life, and spent a lot of my time pretending not to care.)

Hey I'm from the Scottish borders. Scary how difficult it is to get into medicine. Have you applied to any of the Scottish uni's. Why did you choose QUB? I have 4A's and 1B.....shame about the B, but can't be helped. I got 2880 on UKCAT which puts me in score 5. I reckon they may put up their cut off this year so unsure if I will have enough.

You have one more point than me amigo, hopefully we will both get through to interviews. You're two points above the cut off last year so I wouldn't stress. And 4 As and a B is awesome, well done. I've only applied to QUB, UEA, Keele and Manchester. Didn't fancy the odds of applying to Dundee and don't have the entry. Requirements for the others. How about you?

I have applied to Queens, Sheffield, Hull and York and Aberdeen. I thought I would try for one of the Scottish and Aberdeen seemed to be the most likely (probably not though). I'd be delighted to get to interview...that would be awesome. I had really thought about Keele and now kinda wished I had stuck with it instead of Hull and York. Seems to be loads of people with over 2800 which was the UKCAT cut off for Hull and York. So now unsure if I will get an interview with them despite being over their cut-off point. Anyhow I wish you well with your applications. What would be your fav choice?

Probably queens- mainly because I love Belfast as a city. If ANYWHERE considers me though, I will be relieved. What about you? I know how you feel, the more I look at Nottingham the more I reckon I should've applied. It's a bit gutting to be honest. Though I think with your ukcat and highers you've got a grand chance with Aberdeen (I've got faith).

Yes same here......i would be over the moon with any offer. No real preference, probably Aberdeen and Queens would be my fav's. You have a really good UKCAT score an also 4 ADV highers will set up well for you. Why did you not consider any of the scottish....I know edin and St Andrews are impossible, glasgow have been totally open AND TRANSPARENT UNLIKE THE OTHERS. Dundee I know less about except when I went on open day they said they were really looking for 5 A's and they said they are happy not to fill all their places they are specifically looking for a type of candidate. Our school have had no success with Dundee for about 4-5 years.

Oh god. At least they were honest. Fingers crossed for both of us. Keep me in the know with how you do and good luck!

Anyone else just receive a confirmation email? Glad it goes into so much detail with interview dates, takes out a lot of second guessing.

Lucky you guys. Well done on the great UKCAT scores. I am also applying but sadly my score of 2880 isn't quite as good. Hoping...fingers crossed that I might make interview

Haha yeah that's going to be the hard bit!! Dreading the MMI set up.

I'm a graduate, background in psychology and neuroscience. What about yourself?


Posted from TSR Mobile

I'm sure you'll still get an interview haylodge, your score is only like a point or something below ours. It's just the interview that's scaring me haha, how can you build a rapport with any of the interviewers within the MMI time limit? :s

Ahh a fellow graduate!

I just completed my degree in Biomedical Science from St George's, it will be so refreshing to try a different uni bus" and area

where else have you applied to Doc2be? (awesome display name by the way )
