Seriously, the only thing you can do is email the univerisities you are thinking about applying. Look on their website for someone who deals with admissions. If you don't get a response, give them a ring
Some universities may specify, but you NEED to contact them and ask.
I knoww, I have days like this as well. Nothing will guarantee you a place, its true, but just think how excited and hopeful you were this time last year. Be like that again
Think positive, and we're all here to keep you motivated
You can only do your best, and as cheesy as it sounds, right now, you need to focus on enjoying your life at the moment. You can work for your UKCAT, and plan for your gap year, but try not to think ahead of that.
I started feeling down the other day while I was trying to think of something to put down as a fifth option, knowing that if I don't get in this year, I'llT have to take it. And also knowing that with grad entry being so competitive, its more than likely that whatever I choose will be my new career plan. I can't help it, all I want to do is medicine. Nothing else compares. It was the same when I was first doing career research, and its still the same now, if not more so. I want to be a doctor. I don't want to be a biomedical scientist, or a pharmacist, or do an academic degree and be a teacher or a nurse or anything. I want to be a doctor :/
But yeah, DON'T think like that. Gets you all sad
Just enjoy the year out
