Medicine 2012...(hopeful entrants) !!

If you finish everything over the summer, it won't be too bad if you actually want to do it. But I aimed to do it over the summer and didn't. It distracted from my alevels, took so much of my time and I got to the point where I had a breakdown in a lesson because of the pressure I was under :|
They have set questions to ask you for medicine interviews, and don't care about EPQ... My biomed interview was far more interested about asking me about a cure for cancer :'D

Anyway, I got an A* in mine, but nowhere cares. it didn't help me to get an interview and it didn't help me in my January exams :']

But if you think you can do it all in the summer, feel free

I would you know
Ohmygod, how could you stand physics ;D
Biology, Chemistry and Psychology :'D AS English Language :'D and EPQ also :P
What did you do yours on? Mine was the biggest waste of time ever :'D

I'm personally interested in medicine So researching a topic in medicine will show i am interested - i will write it in my personal statement hopefully
Lesicter accept it in the place of an a/s too

Tbh physics was my favourite subject last year haha Ewwwww! English! lol
I did mine on a disease called Haemochromatosis (iron overload) cause people in my family have it, and its more common in Celtic people so Irish and Scottish and hoped it would appeal to scottish unis haha didn't really work, but it was really interesting I was hoping cause my supervisor knew nothing about it I could blag bits of it I did'nt know, but then "The Haemochromatosis Society" even asked to see a copy of it :') which was good but then again, it meant I couldn't blag it lol My supervisor won't tell me what I got all teachers in our colllege have been told we cant find out until results day The log nearly killed me! lol

what did you do yours on? Reading back over this thread, I too nearly had a mental breakdown over mine cause I couldn't write anything! but then i ended up going over to about 7,500 words haha

I love english :'D haha
Wow! That's really good
I cried in a psych lesson :'D my teacher was like :O
I did mine on medical treatments for mental disorders :'] just thought it would be a bit different :]] mine was 5,500
and our 'pastoral leader' was my supervisor, so she told me secretly :'D

So did I :'D
But if you want to, just do it

Oooooh I've always wanted to look into mental disorders and stuff One thing I did hate was that anytime I came across something interesting I'd want to give up on haemochromatosis and move to something else, like synesthesia ahhh nice. One of my friends somehow found out she'd gotten full marks i was just like unforntuatly we have the same supervisor, so hopefully hgers wasn't so amazingly good that it made mine look rubbish lol... only results day will tell!

what topic are you going to research on ?

Huh? For my EPQ? I already finished it :'D I got rejected this year :']

Huh? For my EPQ? I already finished it :'D I got rejected this year :']

You sound like ten times the applicant i am lol

honestly,

could we have any more information about your bmat/ukcat score, grades, choice of university?

Nope, you said something about writing something about you researching on something specific in the medicine side into your personal statement. What are you going to write on in your PS ?

Haha, thanks ) obviously not though xD
Loving the scrubs reference in your name btw :'D
Yeah, I didn't do BMAT, I got 670 ukcat (which is average), my grades weren't that great (ABBC) but I was predicted (AAA) and Leeds gave me 9/15 for academics which isn't bad
I applied to Manchester, Leeds and Keele... I chose two biomed just in case I ended up not getting in (which is what happened )

Very Impressive UKCAT score, and it's all about the predicted grades(you got AAA ,i 'm feeling really upset about not being predicted that, my a/s wasn't the best)
i say impressive ukcat score, the average is acctually around 600, so you're in the high 600's
So you're taking the grad entry into medicine?

Oioi guys, may as well park my reapplicant ass onto this thread now

Hope all your AS exams have went well

Umm... I don't know... It depends because if I get 3A's it seems pointless doing a gateway degree when I can just reapply...
If I miss the grades but get into my firm/insurance I'll do grad from there
I don't want to do that flipping UKCAT again :']
