Well, I'm being realistic as I know how competitive Medicine is, so although I love Bristol I'm not sure if I'll apply there as they do seem to be very selective. My line up will probably look something like this:

Bristol (Maybe, not sure :s-smilie:

)
Southampton
BSMS / maybe Barts?
KCL,
I've been on open days to all these last year when I was thinking of doing something else, so I've yet to look at the proportion of PBL they have etc but I just liked these places in general :smile:

What about you?

Yes I know same, I was considering Oxbridge until I finally decided medicine. :tongue:

Nottingham
Newcastle
Birmingham
Sheffield

I may change though. :smile:

Ahem. Hello....big country north of Newcastle.... :tongue:

No fees for Scottish students here, only living costs. And anyone from England, Wales, Northern Ireland gets charged around £1800 pa.

Ooops, I meant in England. :tongue:

But after 4 years of studying, the NHS tuition fees bursary kicks in, so we save £9,000 or £18,000 depending on if you intercalate or not :biggrin:

(Because I think the student loan company only give out student loans for 4 years, so the NHS pays the rest)

Oh really? Sounds good :smile:

yo

Chem question

When an alkene has more than 1 double bond, do you put a di before the ene?

CH2=C=CH2

So would this be propene, or propdiene

CH3CH2CH=CHCH2CH=CH2

Would this be Hept-1,4- diene

or

Hept-1,4-ene

Only £1800 pa for tuition fees for unis in Scotland? :eek:

Then why isnt everyone from England charging to Scotland to escape the tuition fee rise? :confused:

They do/are/will be. Most are put off by the distance and there is a far larger selection of unis south of the border :smile:

1. Prop-1,2-diene.

2. Hept-1,4-diene.

If there is more than 1 double bond, it is not an alkene, as an alkene only has 1 double bond, general formula = C_nH_2n.

Oh righty-ho...
So is there going to be a big rise in applicants to Scottish unis??
I was considering Edinburgh, but I think theres already a huge applicant : places ratio... so if its going to rise even more I might be scared off..! :tongue:

Well I think everyone is expecting that. It will vary between courses.

Which is why you should come to Aberdeen :biggrin:

Yes i'm still debating it tbh.. I don't want to regret it one way or the other. Also, I've seen on some succesful applicants profiles this year, some only have 4 A*s at GCSE for Medicine, which surprised me. (Though then maybe that means they did very well in the BMAT... :tongue:

)

Alsoooo...

Does anyone doing AQA Biology use any websites for revision? I have a text book and class notes, but I want something different to read from? I find with AQA biology you need a broader range of knowledge :/
