Cambridge Medicine Students and Applicants

Reply 1980

I have to wonder what the point of releasing these stats so early is - nobody can do anything about their college/subject choice, and it's just giving applicants something else to flap about.

That's about the same across most of the colleges, tbh. And it's better odds than at many of your other universities...

That is true, but this is 20% of Cambridge applicants, and we are all generally above average! I guess looking at 'odds' or 'probability' does not really apply, you can only do your best!

Can't believe I have to be dealing with this now....

I NEED HELP PEOPLE!!!!

So I don't know whether at your schools you got confirmation of your BMAT registration, but I never did. Turns out this is because my incompetent housemaster didn't bother to check his pigeonhole until today, and so upon receiving said confirmation receipt I found out that....

THE BLOODY EXAMS OFFICER PUT IN THE WRONG DATE OF BIRTH :eek:

So I need to know; will this invalidate my BMAT if it's entered wrong, or can I just email my college about the mistake? It's right on the SAQ (checked it to make sure :tongue:

), so will it matter?

Email your college asap. But don't fret , I bet you're stressed enough with the exam tomorrow!!

Feel so bad for you, must be grim :frown:

Thanks

And this is just making the panic even worse.... :frown:

Worst bit is, it's not even the first time she's done something wrong! She almost forgot to enter me, until I asked her on the 13th October for my registration number for the SAQ :angry:

2014 stats are UP.

Applicants for Caius have gone down from 137 to 107... Cool!
Thanks for the stats, didn't think they'd be up so soon.

You need 3 science/maths subjects for medicine at Cambridge.

Not necessarily.. but the vast vast majority of med applicants have 3 science/math subjects- think it was like 98%?

It is a requirement to have 3 science/maths subject to AS Level.

Only some colleges need 3 science/maths subjects to full A Level (but obviously if anyone actually wants a realistic chance of getting an offer from any college, they should be doing 3 science/maths subjects to full A Level).
