Getting a lot of different types of work experience can help, but ultimately it's down to how you reflect on those experiences rather than how much you did (quantity>quality still applies).
Also, it's 'Graduate Entry Medicine'. Post-grad medicine happens after you graduate with your medical degree.

oops
thanks....so there's not such thing as post grad medicine then? lolthere is but it refers to studies you take on after you get your MBBS like masters or MD in a specialist field. Also, keep an eye on all requirements as they can change quite a lot in the span of 4 years.
Are you set on doing another degree? Could you re-sit to get up to AAAB? That will be a much easier, shorter and cheaper option!

i could easily resit to A*AAA, (A*A*AA) if i resat a practical, but it's a whole different game once you resit and i can't afford to take another year out
become a pimp. You will get into medicine easily then.
In the interview, just take charge and give the interviewer a back hand slap and show him who is in charge. You will get in if you do that.

I don't think you can. I heard that A* can only be achieved if you get over 90% in your first attemp.

It's still possible after a resit, a girl in my year resat C4 Maths to get an extra mark (being one short).

Wrong! Re-sits are irrelevant.

god these new A* grades are seriously undermining the achievements of people who in the old system got 4A's. I find that somewhat irritating
...oh well :PI been thinking about graduate entry medicine recently but was just wondering about the fees? Heard you don't get any support with tuition fees etc but I've heard conflicting things about it... is it pretty much certain to cripple you financially for a while?
Good luck with it all

...oh well :PThat is a very doubtlful contention given that universities and employers are well aware that the A* grade was not available two years ago. By that logic you could argue that the preponderance of high grades undermines the achievements of pupils from, say, the 1980s or 1970s who took A levels when the number of people who could get each grade was based on relative results each year, and before the standard of questions was reduced and the exams modularised. How irritating would that be?

In what way is it "a whole different game". Plus you can't afford to take a year out, but you can afford £9,000 up front with no loans?
Sounds like you're thinking way ahead of time... One step at a time.

So if you retake a whole year you can still achieve an A* grade?

Read the sticky thread (http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=815293), but it doesn't impress many people, including admissions tutors, if you take three years over your A levels.

Apparently if you get in for grad med, NHS pays for 2-4th year, though that could possibly change before then, but if i do make it on, i'm sure there'll be a way round it
Thanks and same to you.Original post by ritchie888

It doesn't matter if i get two 3 A*'s, even if i only resit one or two modules, people did it in one go, so it's a bit pointless to even try as some don't even consider you. Just doesn't look good.I'd rather take 9K up front for one year, than pay 9K for the next 5yrs
