Not much at all from the unis i spoke to but it does make PS fodder and interview chat.

Not a lot, as not all applicants have the chance to do it. It doesn't form part of any offers, though it does hold tariff points so could be helpful for Barts who like to see extra tariff points.

It can be a good way of showing interest in medicine and give you something to talk about in PS & at interview, and is an example of handling a higher workload.
