Medicine Resit Applicants 2016 Entry

Hi! I'm sorry to hear that. I'm in the exact same situation as you. I missed my offer to study medicine at Liverpool

It sucks doesn't it😩😩we worked so hard for it first time round! What are your plans now?

Yep. It kills. But I'm more than willing to give it another try and reapply to universities that consider resit applicants.I didn't have any extenuating circumstances and atm, I'm still doing some research.
Have you given any thought to what you're going to be doing for the rest of this year?

Hi , I got no offers because of my Bmat score but have the right grades for medicine so am taking a gap year. How much are you going to write in your ps about gap year plans ?? Thanks

-sigh- I had a feeling I'd find myself here. I've done too much to back down now though! Got a decent enough UKCAT, work experience and a HCA job offer, not giving up now!

So the unis that will look at us without exten circumstances are: Liverpool, UEA, BSMS, Exeter, Plymouth and Lancaster. I think BSMS want minimum AABb, UEA ABB and I don't think the others have a minimum, as long as your predicted grades are okay? Not too sure yet. Where are you guys thinking? I also have no clue of what I'm supposed to write for the whole "reflecting on he need to resit" thing too.

Hey there, how did your alevels go?? I've seen you around on other threads aha

I can't apply to BSMS or UEA, I reckon I'll only be applying to Liverpool and Lancaster which is very risky but we only need one offer right?

I know I have no idea how to reflect and write a decent personal statement this time round because I don't have a reason as to why I messed up my alevels

And I'm doing my UKCAT on Sept 14th so still planning for that

I think I'm going to give Lancaster and Liverpool my everything and then just see what happens, I'll also be applying for other courses like pharmacy and biomedical engineering with my medical personal statement but I'm more likely going to study medicine abroad if it doesn't work out this time round

I've seen you around too haha! AAB, flopped my C4 exam, 10UMS away from A*s in Bio and Chem... Very annoying. How did it go for you? How come you can't apply to BSMS and UEA, did you apply there last year? Yeah same here with the flopping Maths >> good luck for your UKCAT! Did you do the BMAT last year?



Im planning to write a new paragraph where I had a bit of a ****ty conclusion about my plans for the year, why I have to resit etc. Not sure how I reflect really...

Aha the chem thread mainly😂😂ahh I flopped C3! And chem...ironically :P oh I got BBB so a bit risky applying again but hey! And yeah that's why I can't apply there lol

Thank you :') how did you do?? yeah I did it last year and got about average so

Chem was a bit of a disaster hahaha. Nah, you can still apply, don't worry! I did kinda badly in C3 too but C4 sealed the deal XD
It's okay, you can still apply to the other four, I think. So Exeter and Plymouth too. I didn't do it last year and I wish I did haha! I got 687.5 Band 1 in my UKCAT, so I'm just praying my score is high enough for Exeter tbh >> So far I'm thinking BSMS, UEA, Exeter/Lancaster depending and Plymouth. I couldn't bring myself to study abroad, that's some determination!

It was so bad😂can't wait to see what next years papers are like!!!!

Good old maths thanks ahh guess we'll see :P I emailed Plymouth and can't apply there but Exeter should be okay too

Nice well done! I would kill for anything above 650 lol mines on Sept 14th

Ahh I just really want to do medicine!!

Ah me too, it's something I really want to do :' what grades did you get this year if you don't mind me asking?? I didn't have any either

Well not really :/ I sort of need to plan the whole personal statement thing so I should get on it!

Hey! Sorry for the late reply- I'm just getting used to the idea of using student room. I got AAB :P I was 5 marks off an A in chemistry :P
Same here! Do you think we need to make a lot of changes to our personal statement?

Hey. I think that if last year you didn't get any interviews then I'd say write a better personal statement as it probably means you didn't appear too good on paper... But if you managed to get offers and interviews then I'd just say change it a little bit by adding a little part about your year out and what you plan on doing

How did it go for you bye? Did you miss an offer? Welcome to the resit crew btw x

Reading the resit thread for 2015 entry is pretty inspiring btw guys. We can do this ok, Resit cru represent 😂
