Seeing everyone's almost 100% UMS's has terrified me! How are people choosing which college to apply to? Which 3 other medical schools are you planning to also apply to? Thank you!!

I'm going to be a cambridge medicine fresher this october. I had 93% UMS average at your point in time, so don't worry.

Hi guys, I would just like to ask the age old annoying question. AM I GOOD ENOUGH??

I got 6A*s 4A's 1B at GCSE ( think I could've done better :frown:

)

As results and average ums:
Maths - A - 95ums
Biology - A - 93ums
Chemistry - A - 88ums
Philosophy - A- 84ums (hoping they don't ask about this ums haha).

Good reference and I have work experience at 2 hospitals a GP's, a hospice and a nursing home. Really want to go to oxbridge but I feel my ums is too low for cambridge and my GCSE's are too low for Oxford

Relevant 3 subjects - 92 ums

If you like the course then by all means go for it :smile:

. IMO you have a slightly better chance at Cambridge than Oxford. Your UMS might be a bit on the lower side but still within the range of getting an offer provided that you do well in the BMAT and the interview. Philosophy is irrelevant :tongue:

Isn't SUMS the same as the three most relevant science though? :confused:

no it's all your sciences so it could be the same, but I took physics as well!

This is what's been said by the Christ's admission tutor on here though, it does seem to suggest that SUMS= 3 most relevant...

I will be screwed if it actually includes physics haha :tongue:

OH. Hmm. But I thought they took an average of all your sciences as well?

I hate my all sciences average it looks kinda crap :redface:

Yeah they do. :redface:

But I always thought SUMS might be more important since it's the one used for autopooling in other subjects.

Same here...not sure if this is a good thing or not :tongue:

It is always in SUMS if you did it. If you were thinking about the screenshot I posted, that was for engineering and I was just using it as an example :smile:
