2011 Entry- Hopeful Medic Thread :)

What about hobbies?

He needs some. Studying alone will not get you into med school.

so collecting 15th century stamps, playing world of warcraft and collecting star trek figures will get me into med school? Great success!

I'm offended that you think I'm that easy to troll.

Anyone know how to translate scores you get in practice questions to an approximate score out of 900.

Say someone got 50% in a practice test. Is that a score of 600 or 450?
600 as its between 300-900 and 450 because its half of 900.

Your multiple-choice answers are checked by computer and a mark is created. This is known as your 'UKCAT' result.

When is everyone doing their UKCAT?

31st Aug

you

What experience are you chaps doing over the summer?

Hoping to get Vitalise, some hospice work and some Oxfam shop volunteering done.

I registered for the UKCAT on Sunday and I still haven't got the confirmation email. It shouldn't take this long, right, or is it just THAT busy? I think I'll call tommorow, stupid people...

meh, I'm offended you assume I have no hobbies and don't have a life. Btw, hobbies won't get you into med school. Also, evidently you're quite easy to troll XD

Why were you rejected from all 4 of your unis?

One up to you on the first part, you did have me going for a little while on the 'I've done all this x months in advance' thing

I know hobbies won't get you in, but studies alone won't either. Balance!

to be more precise, studies, work experience and various activities showing off your skills will get you into medicine, not necessarily hobbies.
