Leicester Medics to be- hows it going? :)

hi guys,

correct me if im wrong but this is what i understand of the teaching method used at leicester. So basicaly, when they say horizonatly intergrated it means u for example do the heart and learn the phsyiology, bichemistry, etc. when u finish this u move on to a different part in the body. When they say verticaly, they learn theory and clinical practise at the same time. im i right in say they also use pbl?

well as a Leicester applicant i'd say it's going ok. Just waiting patiently for March to come along and then some news (hopefully positive)

In my general studies lesson today we where all told to try to start looking at student finance and setting up an account which I did. I felt somewhat silly setting up an account with no offers for medicine

Better than getting in and then not being able to get any finance. :smile:

I too am just patiently waiting for March to come so that I can finally recieve decision from Leicester after being interviewed 25th November ... such a long wait! Although thought interview was fine it seems becuase questions really open that no1 has really come out and said theyve had a horrible time so I think quite a hard one to judge ... also worried by the fact that quite a low chance of getting an offer even when interviewed so am keeping fingers crossed. Good luck to every1 else who has applied :smile:

It isn't down to chance at all. If you meet the standards they are looking for, then you will get a place. My interview was also in the November, it was definately a long wait. The letter came in mid-March, 12th rings a bell.

Hey all,

Hell I just got a rejection letter from Leicester and their reason was that there were too many applicants. My application was looked at last when I set it on the first day UCAS opened it self up for applications. So basically, they gave out too many offers before looking at my application thus, I get a rejection.

This policy seems unfair considering other unis look at all applications and then rank them rather than going through them one by one and if you're last then you're screwed. I defo know I got over 16 out of 20 on the scoring.

Maybe they didn't like you? Medicine is ridiculously competitive so don't feel too bad about getting a rejection. You already have tons of other places you could go to :biggrin:

With the numbers of applicants to the course it is inevitable that people will get rejected for the most ridiculous reasons. Although might I add that not even giving your application a glance seems unfair. Still, welcome to the ridiculous world of medical school admissions

When did they tell you all this? :eyeball:

Today. What a waste of uni choice. Hell I spent months going through each admissions policy to make sure I would have a significant chance of getting an interview.
