I think he's asking whether you need to be an early applicant to applying to Medicine with a foundation year.

yeah I did probably the worse exam I've ever had to revise for, got 600 average which is decent i guess but Nottingham don't use it too heavily so that's a positive.

How did yours go?

Same 600 average band 1

What did you get in situational judgement

😭
I got AABC at AS
And AAB predictions for A2


Have you called up Nottingham and asked them whether your postcode falls into their criteria

How were your GCSEs
I think my GCSEs will put me down 😭😭
I got AABC at AS
And AAB predictions for A2
But 1A* 5Bs and 3Cs at GCSE 😭 which is disgraceful

oh that's quite good, I got band 2 in the situational judgement and I think my GCSEs are quite good got 7As and 4Bs and ABCC at AS

Is calling them the only way of checking whether your postcode is eligible, if not I will probably call them tomorrow to confirm

Hi guys,

Does anyone know how I can check whether I am eligible with my postcode? Also, is it okay if I resit my Alevels if I have achieved the requirements?

No you can't resit your A levels. From a previous years thread a gap year student despite having achieved BBC at A level retook a few modules and got ABB but wasn't allowed to apply for the course.
And phone them up and ask whether your eligible that's what most of us do

Also have you got relevancy work experience and have you done the ukcat
If yes I'm sure you can apply!

Good luck

Hi just wondering if you heard back from Nottingham yet about your resits.
Also here are my stats:

AS: ACCC
predicted: BBB
UKCAT: 575 band 2
What are your other choices?
