Struggling with choosing universities

4th choice - BSMS. Brighton is a fabulous city for students, by the sea and 50 mins from London.

5th choice - Bristol for Cellular and Molecular Medicine program - http://www.bristol.ac.uk/cellmolmed/study/undergraduate/

Honestly just apply to whatever university you like the most, i'm applying to 3 BMAT unis!

Or... A100 at Bristol. No BMAT.

That course at Bristol looks excellent actually, that's definitely an option to consider. As for BSMS- Wouldn't you say it was risky to apply to two BMAT unis? I do like the look of Brighton though XD



Haha, but that's the problem- I'm incredibly fussy, so there's nowhere I like as much as Kings/Oxford/Nottingham xD THREE bmat unis? Holy crap! Which ones? xD

So I'm applying for 2016 entry to medicine (A100).
(Stas- 11A*s, 4 As at AS, 4 A*s predicted at A2, 800 UKCAT average).

My school's deadline for university choices was on Monday, but they've given me an extension of a week. So I basically have the next few days to choose a final uni. I know I'm applying to Oxford, Nottingham and King's College London for A100 and then Bristol/Exeter/Bath for my fifth non-medicine option (that decision isn't as important). However, I have no idea what to put down for my fourth medicine option. I don't like the PBL style of teaching, so that immediately gets rid of a lot of medical school options.
So basically, my question is this- should I go for another UKCAT heavy university like Newcastle, although I don't really like Newcastle very much (but if I can't think of anything else then I will apply there). Alternatively, I could apply to a second BMAT university (i.e Imperial/BSMS/UCL) although that's a risk.

Thoughts??
Thanks

With your stat., you likely will get interview from any medical school anyway. Cannot see why you have to go to UKCAT heavy university!

What about Birmingham? They like strong academics (which you have) and they'll be using the UKCAT this year.

I knoww I get what you mean
The BMAT ones are Imperial, UCL and Cambridge, although the offers for the last two are so high!!

Not necessarily. Universities also look at the PS, and whilst I do have a lot of volunteering and work experience, I'm worried that PS ranking is far too subjective so could go wrong :/



Actually, I've not really considered Birmingham. That's something to think about. I kinda dismissed it because I once heard that they were big on extra-curriculars? Is that true?

Woahhhh, you're going for tough ones xD Good luck!

As far as I know Birmingham like academics, like straight As at AS and lots of A*s at GCSE. Combine that with the fact that you've got a stellar UKCAT and I think it would be a good shout. Certainly safer than another BMAT choice.
