I cant beleive you were actually allowed into surgery, in northern ireland we cant get in , we watched a video of the surgery , a camera was placed inside the patient were the operation(gall-bladder removal) was taking place it was still pretty good though.
well, err, I am now 18. I'm reapplying and I wanted more experience and it's a lot easier to get into surgery when you are 18.
I just phoned newcastle and last years cut off was 2670 (average 667.5) and they said this years cut off will be decided once everybody's applications are in. So in an effort to reduce the cut off, I'd like to ask everybody with a really low UKCAT to apply, so that I can reapply there and hopefully not get rejected straight away! thanks. (That was a joke (to some extent ), I just was trying to make my post about the UKCAT more interesting.)
I said my UKCAT was MEANT to be today... Well I arrived at the pearson vue ''verified test centre'' with a racing pulse and it felt like my heart was pumping in my head.....and then was told that they stopped being a test centre for pearson vue for a while now and that I should go away. I didn't know whether to feel relieved or annoyed?!! Well anyways, Pearson vue will contact me soon to reschedule my exam without having to pay again.
I think I'll go and do a little more work on QR I guess
Why can't I find anything about the new method Barts will be using to short list for interview on their website?
Not sure, but it has been confirmed by several of us that it will be a case of if you meet the entry requirements and have a UKCAT of +600 average, your UCAS Tariff is worked out, and all applicants are ranked by that. Similar to UKCAT cut offs, it seems BaTL will be using a UCAS Tariff cut off this year.
Hey How are my chances at getting into Med School?
GCSE: 4A*, 6A, 4B (From a highly under-acheving high school) AS: Biology A (281/300), Chemistry A (246/300), Maths A (262/300) and the Welsh Baccalaureate Qualification UKCAT: VR:540, QR: 710, AR: 710, DA: 480, Avr: 610 (bad i know =/)
Im thinking of applying to Keele, Lancaster, Liverpool, Sheffield, and Keele again for Biomedical Sciences.

But it's not on their website right? (Just confirming.)

Oh boy, looks like DA screwed you up.
Sheffield ask for 722+ but the others should be fine I guess.

Sheffield was looking for 717.5 for 2011 Entry. However, they are apparently increasing the number of candidates they interview this year so the cutoff may potentially drop. That said, an average of 610 will give you a minimal chance at Sheffield I'm afraid.

Your chances of getting an Interview at Sheffield is very unlikely, last year anyone with a UKCAT score of below 717.5 average was rejected, regardless of the rest of their application. Keele depends completely on how strong your personal statement and references are, and I'm not too sure as to how Lancaster or Liverpool select for interview, I wasn't even aware you could apply to both of them.
