You got such an amazing BMAT score considering you only did 2 science A Levels!

No they're not, you can apply for both.

Can you? On UCAS I'm pretty sure you have the choice of one or the other or "Either," since the two unis merge in 3rd year?

Nah that's the Stockton Campus thing for Newcastle. You can apply to both, but as two separate choices.

Ahhh OK. I never looked at Durham. Who in their right mind would choose purely to go to Stockton...

Someone who really wanted to get a medical degree from somewhere, and figured 2 years of their life spent there would be worth it in the end?
Durham was my backup choice, kind of, because they tend to have fewer applicants per place. I'd rather have gone there and had a Newcastle degree at the end of it than not got a place at all...Saying that, it's not my favourite place in the world, though the uni campus is nice.
