I'm sure the wastepaper bin would really appreciate a PS that starts off with that.

But guys. Don't all start off with that at once. :eek:

Lol.

lol..I am glad there is something we can both laught about.....funny isn't it? I didnt believe it when I heard.....

Lol it says it will give priority that doesn't mean others without that won't get accepted. I can't imagine a country not having doctors of some sort. :mmm:

Well, I guess u are right....but I just think it might be worthless applying there, since my country does have medical schools....I think the lady that replied to my email was probably high or something....pathetic criterion in my opinion......no wonder they are ranked so low....what a shame!

I just tried to see if I could find countries that didn't have medical schools but that's kinda hard to find, I think you should e - mail them and ask them for a list of countries without medical schools. Maybe e - mail them again but from another e - mail address to make sure they're telling the truth? :erm:

well, just make sure your introduction grabs your readers attention....and make sure it summarizes everything in the body and has a central theme....Mine started with " I would have to admit that I have never had that epiphany or that deep realization that I was born to become a doctor. Instead my path to medicine has gradually.....blah blah blah..."

I think my first sentence immediately grabs the readers attention.. ( which is one of the things you want when someone is reading your P.S)

Good luck

Good idea!!!! I will give that a shot........I just feel so angry about what the lady told me... I suppose I really love Manchester.....but the school is letting me down...!!!!:o:

I honestly think the lady was high or tipsy or something...

Nope/ :woo:

I have got more or less everything covered inc. Team-work which i am going to mention working in a fast-food outlet, cos' communication is vital, especially when you are under pressure during busy times.

But for Leadership...I don't know!!!!!

2 in 2 different hospitals, got another week in a hospital and still got a GP placement to do

Would it count as leadership if I said I organised Pizza night where I volunteer - everyone made their own pizzas.

;confused;

:rofl: This thread has started to become packed with competitive nosey applicants. :colone:
It's not about how many. But I've been on four. I could go on another if I find the time. I only really learned alot from two of them though and I am planning to focus my PS around that because it was such an enlightening experience.
