Dundee Medical School Applicants 2015

Hi there!

It will not be long before Dundee gets in touch with your confirmation letter and matriculation details. These will probably be sent by post.
(This is just from my experience last year)

However, are there any pressing questions or issues I can help you with?

Anybody else bought the ticket for freshers week?
Thanks

Hi. Can I ask if the reading week in October applies to medical students too?

Hey guys, I just wanted some advise on whether it would be a risk applying to Dundee for 2016 entry with GCSE: 3A*s 5As 3Bs
AS: 4As, A2 achieved: A*AA and ukcat: 665. Also what was the 2015 entry ukcat cut off?
Thanks for the help!

Hi, anyone got any idea what the average Scotland to Rest of UK student split is for Dundee when applying.

Thanks

I think I'm right in saying that Dundee don't score GCSEs when you have achieved A levels...? I know this is the case for Scottish 4th year exams (or was last year) which were Standard Grades for that cohort. In other words they only scored Scottish Highers (which are above AS levels) and Scottish Advanced Highers which are above A2 Levels (ie 1st year uni level). If you attended the open day then you'll know that 1:8 English kids achieve 3 As at A2 Level and only 1:40 Scottish kids achieve 5 As at Higher (and about 1:10 - I think from memory - achieve AAABB at Higher which is more comparable). However as the two systems are difficult to compare (Dundee use z-scores to make a fair comparison) you could find the scoring sheet which was posted on this forum around March by someone. Dundee are also keen on high UKCAT but don't even look at your PS until interview. I think it would also depend on which subjects you achieved your Bs : sciences = bad; arts = not so bad but Dundee like Scot's kids to have Higher English. Hope this helps

I called Dundee this morning and the lady said they still score GCSE's when you have achieved A levels

Hi, after the interview, is offers for Dundee made purely by interview performance or academics and ukcat taken into account too?

Hey, does anyone know if Dundee has minimum a-level requirements for Graduate applicants to their undergraduate course? Thank you in advance!

Might be a bit late now, but I called them and they said if you have a 2.1 they do not have A level requirements.
