Keele Medicine Applicants for 2015 entry

I imagine there might be more applicants/place for Liverpool?

You're definitely strong enough to apply to medicine! Id recommend any unis that don't use the UKCAT. Cardiff may be a good option, keele also. Possibly BMAT universities such as Brighton or leeds?

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your help I was looking into Cardiff, but they base their cut off scores on top 9 GCSE grades. An A* is 3 points, an A is 2 points and a B is 1 point. Overall, I'd have 22 points (I'm not sure what the distinction in ICT would count towards - I've been told it's worth AA). 22/27 seems like a risk to apply. What do you think?

Oh okay yeah maybe then. I know the cut off is about 25. So unless your distinction counts as an A I wouldn't apply. How about nottingham as you're pretty well rounded so that would probably be a good choice. I'd also opt for sheffield maybe as you're a good candidate for there

Hi guys! Definitely applying here as I love the place, but it's a bit of a risk as the way they select is quite subjective. Just got to try and polish off my personal statement and draft some answers to the form and then put it down to luck! Also looking at St George's, Plymouth and Exeter. Considering swapping Exeter for UEA but not yet sure.

I'm sure we'll all get to know each other quite well over this terrifying process!! :P

Hopefully you won't think I'm weird for remembering haha but I'm sure we talked before about Keele and we'd both emailed them about getting an academic interview or something similar just wondering if you've had a reply yet?

Haha yes that's me! Don't worry I wanted to ask you the same but couldn't remember your username! No I haven't - have you? I think they're avoiding the question :P

Oh good but that's a bit annoying! Like I said before I'll be applying anyway but it would be nice to know. It's just cause I emailed Leeds about something else at the same time and I've already got my reply so maybe they are avoiding us

I think it's just because Keele have a LOT of applications for such a small medical school so they can't give you a definite answer as it will depend upon the standard of applicants the year that you are applying. Good Luck!

Yes they definitely do! I asked them about last years applicants so hopefully they can give me that information good luck to you as well!

I know last year it was 7 A*s at GCSE and 4 As at AS

Ah ok! I hope it doesn't go up, I don't see how it could really but everywhere seems to be getting tougher year on year!

I'm interested in applying to Keele.
I got 5A*'s, 5A's and a B at GCSE. 4A's at as-level and A*AAA achieved a-level.
Got plenty of work experience and voluntary work.
UKCAT- 2560, avg 640.

Would I be a suitable applicant for Keele, as I really want to apply there. Thanks

Your academics are great but this year Keele are using the UKCAT more and are rejecting the bottom 10% of applicants with the lowest UKCAT score. So just be aware of that before making any final decisions! Good luck
