Hi!

You probably have already found out but it’s still 25! How did you get on with your application/UCAT? Fingers crossed for you!

My personal statement is now submitted. Unfortunately I didn’t do as well on UCAT as I hoped. I just ran out of time! I don’t think I have enough to get an interview. How did everyone else do? What’s everyone’s profession? I’m a Paramedic :smile:

Ah that’s so awesome! You’ll have so much to bring to the course. UCAT is defo not my strong point, I got 2500, really messed up abstract reasoning and probably didn’t give it as much effort as it needed. I emailed the course administrator and she said anything above 2400 is good but it just depends how everyone compares who applies. She also said there’s less applicants this year, so maybe we’ll get in by default!Im an ENP and trainee ANP :smile:

Ah, I don’t think you should worry, if what they’ve said and how the rest of the ucat panned out the median was 2500 on average in the UK so on a whole everyone got much lower than last year! So I fingers crossed for us both they take that into consideration.

I haven’t no; hedging my bets on this. I would really need to work throughout so it would be ideal for me. You? Fingers crossed we meet in person in Jan! :smile:

Hello everyone :smile:

. I hope you are all well. I am looking to get in touch with anyone who has accepted an offer to commence HCP-med this year. Hoping the offers have been sent out already.
I start this September year after deferring my entry. Would be good to touch base and keep in touch if anyone is keen? X

Hello friend!Congratulations, first of all! How are you feeling? It still hasn’t quite sunk in yet for me: probably won’t until I’m a failing 3rd year student. I’d absolutely love to keep in touch. How did you find the whole process? Are you from Edinburgh?Lauren x

Hello Lauren thank you very much for your reply :smile:

. Congratulations to yourself as well!! It’s such a fantastic opportunity!
I applied in 2020 for 2021 entry and as I say deferred my place and it still hasn’t sunk in yet 😂. I’m really looking forward to getting started and I’m very excited!
What profession are you currently in? I’m a GP practice pharmacist atm and have two children 4yo and 6 month old and I am from Falkirk. What about yourself? X

Caroline you are insane!!

Two kids under five and a medical degree and work, I can barely even manage work right now! I’m an advanced nurse practitioner with hospital at night covering pan-Lothian area. I’m *hoping* working nights will allow me some down/study time but that being said, yesterday I spent a good part of 40 mins looking for a kettle I put in the fridge. So you may have to help me through this.

Do you know anyone else on the course?
I am excited to find out our GP placements!
