Newcastle University A101 GEP Medicine Applicants 2015

Who else is applying for 2015 entry then?

Me too! I think I should just scrape it. Where else are you applying?

Nottingham, Warwick and Kings. Notts is a long shot as dont think the GAMSAT went well but its my first choice so i'm still hoping for a mircale.

How about yourself?

Warwick, southampton and barts. Didn't sit gamsat but I hear it was horrible?

The GAMSAT wasn’t what I was expecting based on past experience and sample papers. Unfortunately a lot of the material I focused on wasn’t covered in the test so found it rather demoralizing really!

but hopefully my UKCAT can get me some interviews

That's sucks, I guess it doesn't help by not getting results until November? Is this your first application?

this is my 2nd application although last year was always a long shot as didn't think I had enough volunteer experience

Hi all,

I'm also applying to Newcastle for GEM!

What do you guys think will be the UKCAT cut off this year?

UCAS sent! Bracing myself for the long and nervous wait now!

Any idea what the interview dates are?

They wouldn't be specific. Gave me the range for the 4 and 5 year courses, I'll post that later as I'm on mobile at the mo!

Awesome, cheers

Ok so all I got from them is that interviews for both the 4 and 5 year courses will be held in the below periods. No guidance given on whether one section will be totally 4 year or whether it'll all be mixed in.

1. 1st to 19th December
2. 12th to 23rd January
3. 3rd to 21st February

Aah I see, I imagine it'll be similar to southampton and only be a few days?

I would have thought so, yes. They seem to interview about 150 people for A101 each year (although it varies) so I can't see them doing more than 3 or 4 days' worth.
