My Degree

Are you one of those people who has Dr x put on their stethoscope/labcoat from year 1? *has heard stories about them*

Haha people actually do that?

I'm not sure. Our exams are internally set, so I imagine that my awards will still remain, but I wouldn't be eligible for the gold medal I don't think.

Last 2 years have been GKT peeps I believe.

Lies. It's UCL. Of all the years of the gold medal, UCL have won it more than 50% of the time.

UCL's preference to people with a non-science subject put me off.

You do know that 50% of people with offers have all science subjects? It's not going to disadvantage you at all, especially if you have ECs to show you can do things other than science and medicine.

I don't really want to risk applying to a University when they openly state they prefer students without my subjects. It's like me trying to apply to Trinity College, Cambridge without 3 sciences.

Well no it's not, because Trinity specifically ask for at least 3, whereas UCL say they have a slight preference for an arts subject and then go on to state that you shouldn't not apply just because you don't have an arts subject. Don't read too much into it...trust me on this. They want to see people who do things that aren't medicine and there are lots of ways they find this out, and the least of which is going to be what A levels you picked.

If you genuinely like UCL then please apply.

If you tick all the other boxes, it's a risk worth taking. No more than the risk of applying anywhere else.

Nah - UCL for last 2 years.

That's not what UCL claim...
