Medicine 2012...(hopeful entrants) !!

Thank you! I think it is the most up-to-date information!

http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/wiki/UKCAT - use this website instead

I have no idea where to apply!
I feel average in all areas of my application , very very average.
I already have A*AA as I didn't apply last year due to rubbish AS grades and I want to get in so badly!
Only 7A*s so no Bham.

Your grades are not rubbish -you are a star performer.I am also taking a gap year as I didnt get in last time but as the song goes .....pick yourself up,dust yourself down and start all over again. Look at Beska -he was in the same place and he is now flying high at Newcastle!!!!!

Nah they're sufficient to get in but I don't have a fantastic UKCAT or work experience and will be working at Costa not as a HCA.
Scary stuff, and yeahh haha he's a good role model.

Where did you apply last time?

Yes but you have a job and they admissions people like that. I applied to PMS Cardiff Bristol and Nottingham

okay so i really need some advice,
i just sat the UKCAT and got a really rubbish score of 610, i didn't get good AS level results either i got AAABB (B's in bio and chem, so i'm going to resit those modules in jan) and my gcse's were average i got 2A*'s 7A's and 3B's. i really want to study medicine, but mehh it does doesn't seem like i'll get in. Is there anywhere i can apply to?

any advice would be appreciated

Just to clarify, as long as I've got AAA prediction, my AS's don't matter that much, right? Obviously if my AS's were like EEE it would matter, but in the subjects I'm carrying onto A2 I've got AAC (the C is due to coursework; I'll sort that in Sept and should have a B instead), and my other AS's, do they matter? Apart from perhaps the 4th one?

As far as I know, all non-private schools need to cash in AS levels on UCAS now, so that C might be worrying?

As long as you get it sorted by September and it is officially a B by the time you send off your form, I think it will be okay

Ahh ok, so does that mean that even if I redo my coursework (it's actually a chemistry ISA but we call it coursework!) my official grade might not change until January when I redo a module, or even June? I've put it as pending on UCAS for now.

Hello!
I really REALLY wanted to apply to King's but got a UKCAT score of 645 I wonder if you could help me out here... the website says they take the top X of UKCAT score BUT they also say they took applicants with UKCAT scores as low as 570... so, I 'm not sure what's going on there!!
