Leeds A100 Applicants 2015 Entry

Hey I think when I was checking it says it has to be done before the first day of term (you have to do it every year). Have a double check through all the letters or emails you've received from the Uni for your student number, it's a 9 digit number usually starting with 200 (unless it's changed recently). If not give the university an email

What sort of thing did you have in your ps?

Just the usual really, why I wanted to study medicine, work experience, voluntary work, extracurriculars, anything else that demonstrated my commitment to medicine.

What did you mention in the extra-curricular stuff because I'm not sure some of mine is relevant

Literally any clubs I was apart of, doesn't matter if they're not related to medicine so long as you mentioned any skills you gained from the experiences which are transferable to medicine.

Unless things have changed, the main text for the first term of year 1 is Medical Sciences by Naish et al, that's all I used for the the first term along with lecture notes Gray's is the recommended anatomy book which will be useful, if not essential, in terms 2 and 3. Clinical sciences by Kumar and Clarke is recommended for parts of term 3 although personally I didn't use it. Hope this helps!

Thank you so much! Yes it definitely helped! good luck for your second year!

When and where do we submit our DBS forms and bring along our ID and stuff? Thanks xx I tried to get in contact with the admissions team but being sunday no one picked up. I feel silly for trying haha x

Any 2nd year Leeds medics here? I was wondering what textbooks you guys used in 1st year?

I'm a third year, the ones I mainly used were Gray's anatomy and Medical Sciences I also used Kumar and Clarke a little bit but not much.

This may sound silly..but you guys do actually study Physiology, BioChem, Pathology, Pharmacaolgy etc right? Do you not have textbooks for those specific topics such as Harpers BioChem or Guyton and Hall Physiology??

Occasionally people may like to use those kinds of books for reference. I honestly only ever used the ones I mentioned above in first year, and a biochem textbook for a tiny part of first term which was recommended by the lecturer because he was the author In second year I used Underwoods pathology however.
