Graduate Medicine !

i think you should stufy the shortest possible subject in anything e.g. geography, get a first in that, get a good admission test score, and then apply for grauate entry. Cant eblieve swansea picked someone whos done geography and an archeologist and a salesman over me!!!!!!!!!! im sour n bitter

while i do wholly sympathise and can see why it's frustrating, the fact that the allow people to apply with any degree does mean that it's open to people who genuinely made the wrong choice for them and want to change careers. if they gave preference to science degrees this route would be all but closed. people with a scientific background aren't necessarily better suited than people without.

I agree its a good thing that its open to all, but I still want to say but.
A dr is all iv ever wanted to be, I have tried 8 times to get in pre-grad and post-grad. I wont ever give up but I think im just unlucky. Maybe it is time to hang up that that white coat i nought just incase and move on.

For imperial did you have to fill in that checklist to say that the degree was adequate. Were you able to tick all the boxes? I went onto leicester website and they daid that pharmacy fine as long as you do a 1 year post grad work! Did st georges say no? There is someone on TSR that goes to Barts and said thaat there are a number of pharmacist at Barts! Did you contact them too?

ditto, it quite weird that oxford uni don't like pharmacy as i personally know of a number of people who had done pharmacy and are now doing medicine and dentistry!

do u think getting a 1st in mpharm would have increased ur chances greatly?

There are oodles of pharmacists at BL - on both the 5 year and GEP...

do you have long-term caring experience? that's what'd jump out at me as perhaps missing?

Thats sooo good to hear! Which unis did they go to and how many times did they have to apply so that they could do medicine? Oh and btw can they still work part time to fund the degree as thats what i hope to do!

I may be dim but what uni do you go to fluffy?

okay i mean something like visiting old ladies every week for a year or something of that ilk.... i can't really tell what you've been doing. is it longterm and does it seem to be worthwhile? if not, you need to commit to something regularly and keep it up. obviously if this is for an application next cycle, this needs to be starting now.... you might be doing this already, if you are keep it up....

have you had interviews before? you do seem very unlucky....

1 interview from 8 applications lol, leicester this year, but I must admit I prepared for that practiced question etc. Then they did ask me some of the questions but for some reason all my prepartion went out the window and I had an ouuta body expereince lookin at myself and thinking shut up u moron what r u talking about. I guess i gotta learn from that. I mentored children for a year, and on and off arangement events for children in the local muslim community etc. Its a bit difficult to do anything long term because as a locum im in a different place every 2 weeks or so. But thanx for your help thus far, when I apply again next year I'll forward you a copy of my PS n Refernce n see what ya say

do you automatically get an advantage if you have a degree and apply for the 5 year course compared to A-level students?
