2012 Medicine Re-Applicants Mark I

I already vowed not to apply to any Scottish universities after my experience with Aberdeen
This just reaffirmed my decision

Looks like scottish universities are going to charge up to £9,000 for English Irish and welsh students..As well as an increase in A level requirements

im guessing this means most scottish students will just apply to scottish unis instead of english ones?

I've booked mine for the week after results, then hopefully it'll motivate me if I get good results and I won't have to go through it if I've got AAB

Mate I can't even remember what VR is. Lmao.


When's your test?

I think so makes sense really. I don't think English students really need to apply in Scotland anyway, there are so many options in England..the fees will be the same so there won't really be any financial advantage now. They won't have to suffer the cold and rain either!

Haha exactly this!
I booked it for 1st August, just wanted it done before results, like you said but still wanted to give myself just enough time to really really prepare, but not too much time that I get lazy..

8 different books?? I have like 2 which is better than last year (zero)
LOL and UPO and this: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=621992
Which will be useful i guess for extra practise if I still have time
Gotta beat my last score up like it jumped on my mama. Word to yours

8UKCAT books?! I've got one... but thats still an improvement from last year haha. I'lll start that in a week.

I've been absente pour vacation Twas wonderful, and I'm going to Espagnol on Wednesday. All very exciting, and means I can put off UKCAT until I get back. Although if I start panicking I may back the book to take with me. I dislike UCAS.

The closing date is october, you've got lots of time.

Tnx for the links!

I've already booked it for the day before results day

What if you don't get the grades? I hope you do but if you don't you're gonna spend your summer preparing for the ukcat, and it could be a waste of time.

Yeah I thought that, but I don't want to do it after results, because I'll want to (hopefully) be celebrating, so won't want to be UKCAT practising then. Its not like I'm going to spend my whole summer doing it anyway :/ Just like an hour a day or something. Tbh, if I don't get the grades, having wasted time on the UKCAT is going to be the least of my worries...

Yeah that is exactly what I'm doing because I think my biology result may be bad, definitly one of my worst exams ever.

Hello all, I am a 4x reject. Aiming to change that with the 2012 cycle.

Do we all think lower down the league table the easier to get into or is that a load of nonsense?? Also first post, needed to join your community!!!!

I think i'm going to book my UKCAT today for a week after results day too, and then if the worst happens i can cancel it (right?). I'll ring them up today and double-check.

Yeah, i'm worried about biology too (AQA). If i'm honest i don't think i've got the A. Enjoying summer is virtually impossible with that hanging over my head

If there's anything that can save me now, it's UMS

Yeah I think you can cancel, at least I hope so I don't want to waste like £65. Yeah I did that same exam biology AQA and it didn't go well, what do you need in Biol5 for an A overall?
