2012 Medicine Re-Applicants Mark I

assuming you have decent experience then? If not HCA seems to help (better in hospital), uni's who purely use cut offs once you have the basic requirements like Glasgow Manchester Durham Newcastle and barts i think. My friend had full mark with leicester (academically) and didn't get an interview, think they use your lowest score as well but those are great marks

REJCTED FROM MY FIRST AND FINAL CHOICE.

however not gutted. my heart was broken when i was rejected by st andrews two weeks ago.

now i'm just applying for prospectuses and gettiing excited about this year ACTUALLY getting a choice in where i want to apply rather than who will be fine with my academics


I was just thinking that maybe at some of the open days we could have a "2012 SUCCESSFULL REAPPLICANTS crew" meet up, just an idea though

We should have a meetup sometime I'm sure there will be plenty of us at the open days :P

Definitiely Whereabouts do you live?


Hahaha i bet there will be loads of us, we can form a proper little crew on this thread to help get each other through to october 15th and then the dreaded interview times


.... provided we get the grades. but obviously we will haha

Yeah a year in a hospital volunteering, two weeks work experience (although the one I did after I sent off my form was actually sooo much more valuable - and nobody even knows about it!) and I've done some charity work and taught younger students etc.

Got the feedback from Leeds today though - seems like I lost out most on 'Motivation and Insight' and 'Responsiblity'. The motivation one I can totally understand, since I've actually realised by being rejected how much the whole thing means to me. Definately need to work on personal statement this year!

Oh right, my volunteering sucked, i could only show people round, like futuredoc and sarah1991 would tell you (tho they have a combined 3A*,9A's they didn't get an offer) it's near impossible to get a proper work experience in Manchester unless you have contacts (a dad's that a doctor or something). Even when i was re-applying i couldn't get an HCA job cos i turned 18 in August applied since then and only started working 5 weeks ago, so even when i re-applied i couldn't be as strong as possible, closest thing i had was playing basketball with people who had learning difficulty and showing people how to get round the hospital

I centered my application on leeds, cos i had a good PS score and thought i should get an interview but i only got an extra point for academics. lol

As long as you know exactly what you need to do for where, and you're gonna get it done by september then that's great. HCA seems to be invaluable and try not to focus your application on one uni

Where are you working at the moment? Are you a HCA? How did you get the job and is it full time work?

It is practically impossible to get any health/care related work in Glasgow.

Ohhh I get what you mean Nope, you only need to declare the grades you get at the end of the two years and not the resits. The final grades only have to be declared when they are certificated and only when they are certificated.

Hope that makes sense

No worries

Ah i couldnt physically speak when i got rejected and just fell onto the floor with my phone in my hand and broke down :/ didnt seep for ages too plus i knew i'd get this leicester rejection- my interviewer wasnt the nicest of people
Ah yeah i remember that ucas fair, i might go cus we have one at the metroradio arena and ill just bombard myself with every medicine prospectus there is and lookf or places which look favourably on people with attained grades
