Really confused about UCL

Well for starters it's still the Royal Free and University College Medical School for a short while at least.
History of our name and other bits.

If you don't apply to us, you'll never get the chance to be here, so, if you love us like you say, you need to apply. Yes the BMAT is a hassle, but do well an it's an automatic interview, the chance to sell yourself, so it is worth the effort.
Your grades also exceed the minimum requirements, so you will be considered at the same level as all other candidates in that respect.

We're better than Leeds. Fact. Apply.

I'm trying to think of a way this could come back to haunt you, but can't.

Maybe the fact Leeds student's aren't gonna graduate with debt streaming from every bodily orifice? Possibly?

But when you weigh up debt against spending 5 years in Yorkshire, you soon realise you'd rather pay not to be there.

Another question i have about the UCL admissions process is that when thye receive every applicant's predicted grades, do they rank them in order of the highest or are people with AAB on the same level as those wiith AAB? Do AS levels play a big part in the admissions process aswell?

I think there's definitely some regret in that statement that your not enjoying the fine Yorkshire weather right now :wink:

No.

yes (though not as big as BMAT or personal statement (the biggest part by far).

It was a lovely 27 degrees here in London today. Same again tomorrow apparently.

Your lacking the rolling hills of the Dales and Moors though!

And the rain, and that godawful accent, and scallies, and the lack of Oxford Street on your doorstep...

Admittedly we occasionally suffer from rain and where I live I need an armed police escort to get around without being shot at but it's all character building. :yep:

And the accent is superb. And even as a Londoner, you have to admit, Oxford Street's got tacky, I was disappointed when I went to London last year :no:

Rain can be dealt with by being Northern and oblivious. You haven't heard me talk in real life.... Scallies are native to Liverpool and Manchester. Oxford Street is the apex of nightmares. And there's no gritstone in London.

listen to this. UCL is fantastic and about as competitive as it gets for medicine and tbh it doesnt sound like you have the commitment necessary to get in. its totally worth the work imo.

But it's just so miserable.
When I moved from Edinburgh to Manchester there was noticeable improvement in the weather; moving from Manchester to London is like a different country in terms of the relative dryness.
