Cambridge Medicine Students and Applicants

WRT the astrophysics question, I doubt that would be possible for a medic in their Part II - my understanding is that it is quite a competitive part of the physics course to get on, so without having done Natsci physics (and probably Maths) IA and IB, you probably wouldn't get on it. In general you can only do the biological options of the natsci tripos - we just don't cover enough maths etc to go into a physnatsci part II. The people who do weird stuff like languages or music generally do IA.

As for assessment at clinical school, you have OSCEs and written papers at the end of 4th year (although a little earlier than usual, about April time). You then have a few end-of-placement tests in 5th year, both OSCE and written, and the BIG pathology written exams, paeds and O&G OSCEs at the end of 5th year. Then finals are both written and OSCE in June of 6th year. It sounds like a lot but actually there's quite a bit of time in between all these, you do not have to be revising all the time!

Oh right I was kind of hoping to do something physics related as I was looking at space medicine and it sounded fairly interesting. But never mind. Thanks for your help.

for space medicine you'd probably be best doing an internship in one of your holidays, there was a thing about it in the student bmj a little while back.

Which cambridge colleges call applicants for interview after they recieve the BMAT results?
I'm applying to Kings,does it call applicants after it recieves the bmat score.
If it doesn't around when will it notify whther I have been selected for interview or not.
Any previous cambridge applicants(Especially Kings) any advise.

I'll agree with Helenia that it's way too early to start worrying about doing past papers (if you're a fresher)!

However, if you really really want to find past papers, your college library should have a number of very thick books which contain past year papers for most subjects, including the MVST1A subjects...

King's normally invites to interview quite late, last couple of weeks of Novemeber would be about right for 'home' candidates.

you mean the interview will be in the last couple of weeks of november??

any advise

learn the difference between advise and advice.

Just read up on your syllabus for chem and bio at A-Level, possibly physics/maths as well if you're studying either/both.

I self studied physics in one year. Is it likely that they'll ask me more questions in physcics? Haven't touched my physcics book for ages.

Do I need to study anything beyond A Level.
And will they ask questions on A2 as well?
