[SCROLL]CURRENT YEAR 13 - MARK II 
[/SCROLL]
Well we've managed 10,000 posts in our first thread (bit crazy I think) so there's no reason as to why we can't do it again.
We've all officially applied so best of luck to all year 13s and all other medicine applicants.
To make following our applications a bit easier to follow, and if you would like your choices in the list below, please quote me and I can add it for you.
You probably would want to tell me the medical schools you've applied to, and quote me if your application status has changed. Interviews will be blue, offers will be green, and rejections will be red (fingers crossed there won't be a lot of reds)

Too many bloody studies, I tell ya.
I just did the cognitive psychology, the actual memory part only with Baddley, Conrad, jacobs, miller, peterson and peterson, bahrick all having different case studies. It's stupidly cumbersome on our brains to learn them all.

Haha I remember memory, I liked it, but it was torture. There was also patient KM and patient HM we had to know about. Baddley did a lot of things so when in doubt, use him
I take it you do AQA A as well Original post by Flobie
Haha there's no winners in either situation

Hi everyone!
I am hoping to study Medicine at university. However, I fear that my GCSE grades are quite weak compared to other hopeful medics.
At GCSE I achieved 7.5 A grades, including English Lit./Lang and Double Award Science and also 2.5 B grades including Maths.
At AS I took Biology, Geology, Economics and Geography achieving grades a,a,a,a. I have since dropped Geography.
However, I do not have chemistry at A-level, in order to correct this I am going to be going to my local college (night school) to study AS/A2 chemistry in one year, so it is kind of like having a gap year I suppose, but will be seen as an academic endeavour. I am aware of foundation courses, but since I have missed the Medicine deadline (obviously haha) I may as well study chemistry in my year out.
I have arranged some work experience placements and a voluntary position at my local care home.
But my question is, are my GCSE grades too weak for Medicine? What universities would be best with my weak GCSE grades? And what would you recommend I do to improve my chances of securing a place?
I have had a look at other threads, but I am still unsure.
Thank you all very much!

Your GCSEs just prevent you from applying to certain unis, but by no means is it bad. Your A-levels are probably going to be the biggest setback if I'm honest. By not doing chemistry, you've really limited the numbers of med schools you could apply to, and by planning on doing it next year (in a third year), it may not be counted by some unis, as they only use A-levels sat within the two years. I would advise that you at least do chemistry at AS this year, or if you wanted to do chemistry A2 also, drop either economics or geology so that your workload isn't too massive.
In terms of unis, Liverpool/Lancaster count As at GCSE the same as A*s, so that could be a good choice, unless they require chemistry. I would definitely advise Keele, they only ask for 4 As at GCSE and they only require one of biology or chemistry to A2 if the other is at AS

Jan 12 marker was on privation (yuck!!!) and June 12 marker was on cross cultural variation of attachments (what I wanted to come up in Jan!) It was probably the June 2012 exam which was on day care, now that was a horrible question.
I was lucky with the exam tbh, bar a few bad questions, the paper was really nice. I would assume that the next 12 marker will come from the memory section
