Medicine 2012...(hopeful entrants) !!

No, it was my only offer for med :/ I understand your dilemma but that will be something for you to decide. My predicted gardes only managed to get me one interview (Manchester)
My UKCAT was 652.5 and I had 11 A's at GCSE. My PS was pretty good too, but honestly it's up to you. Overall your most important factor in deciding whther or not you get an offer is your PS- make sure it's strong.
As for the A levels, do you feel that if you were offered A*AA could you acheive those results? I was told higher predictions give you a better chance but I understand you don't want to risk it. Talk to your school/college maybe?
Sorry I couldn't really help.

If I have predicted grades of A*A*A*a ( which I can achieve) and AS grades of CCDE, would uni's believe thats achievable or with they reject me.
the A is in AS chem form the E which I got.
Which unis don't put much emphasis on AS grades.

Thanks for the great advice! +1 rep. I'll talk to my teachers and see what they say.

UKCAT:
VR 610
QR 730
AR 880
DA 760
Average: 745

AS:
Physics 292/300
Chemistry 284/300
Biology 292/300
Maths 300/300

i will take bmat but im not sure if i could do well
im now quite troubled over which uni to include in my 4 choices
any good recommendations? (especially insurance ones)

Wow, you are a top candidate. Depends on your GCSES. Birmingham like all As at AS and if you have above 8A*s, you've got a good shot at an interview there. Sheffield interview all of the candidates who pass their UKCAT criteria, and you do that. Cambridge will love your UMS scores.

Put it this way, depending on your GCSEs, no university is out of your reach, so to speak (but you aren't guaranteed anything either).

If I have predicted grades of A*A*A*a ( which I can achieve) and AS grades of CCDE, would uni's believe thats achievable or with they reject me.

I'm sure they'll be fine

So... Me...

GCSE: 6A*, 4A
As: Maths A (91%), Bio A (95%), Geog A (85%), Chem B... but I think there may be an error with my paper, long story...

I also took A level dance alongside my GCSE's

I want to apply to UCL, Bristol, King's and BSMS...

What UKCAT score do you think I would need to stand a decent chance?

Thanks guys x

It is very difficult to define what a decent chance is.

Some people can get four offers with a relatively low UKCAT score; others fail to get any with a high one. Success when applying to medical school is dependent on a number of factors, and these vary considerably from applicant to applicant.

As a rough guide, 660+ is a good enough score to earn consideration at most UK universities. Have a read of the medicine wiki to find out which institutions have more specific requirements

Thanks for your advice, that's really helpful!

I have one more question... if you have an relatively high average UKCAT score but a very low one in one section, do you think that would significantly hinder an application?

I anticipate a low score in QR but frequently score 850+ in VR & DA

That's great, and haven't seen you in ages

Hi!! How did you do? I'm onx holiday at the moment and a crazy girls has stolen me from TSR

Anyone else trip up on CHEM2??

I don't know what board you're on but a lot of my friends got Bs in CCEA chem and As in everything else, one of them even got a D in chem 2.

You can only get an A* at A2 if you have an A at AS and achieve over 90% in your A2 exams!

You must be trolling!

They wouldn't believe you. Anything higher than a grade over what you acheived is considered excessive.. so they'd question a prediction of AAB, let alone A*A*A*a...

Unless you've got some really good extenuating circumstances I would recommend acheiving the grades first and then applying

I think I have extenuating circumstances so should I contact uni's or what do I do.
