2012 Medicine Re-Applicants Mark I

read over my personal statement earlier to highlight good stuff to keep in.

i highlighted three sentences.
no wonder i never got in last year, its bloody terrible

I think everyone thinks that...

I found my 2010 PS a while back and my face was literally this:
I can't believe I sent that off.

Then I read my 2011 PS and was like
I moan at people for making the mistakes I made

At least you now know how to write a PS hopefully

ahh dear

well at least i know how NOT to write a ps

What happened with the facebook group?



same thing happened to me, but then a feedback letter from St Andrews did say my PS was very good so maybe we are just exaggerating! I have made some changes and its done!!

Now I just have to practice for the UKCAT!

Well, I don't think anyone has made it - I know I suggested it, but then realised I didn't know how...

so then, should I make one :P

I don't think it makes a difference really does it?



Got a meeting with my old form teacher on Monday to persuade her to write exactly what I want in my reference, and for her to give me no practical advice on my personal statement Will be productive I'm sure...

AND BRILLIANT NEWS! My references have FINALLY come through, so I now have forms to fill out to get uniform (really confusing form... I have no idea what size I'll be, or how many to order or what. I only want the dress really, cause the trousers and tunic will look really funny on me :/) and an equality and diversity form to say 'yes, I'm a white female, and I do consider myself to be British'


AND AND AND, finally decided where I'm going to apply. Sheffield, Leicester, Peninsula and Glasgow (ahh, four hours on the train :/)

I'm feeling pretty cheerful today - although yesterday I had a bit of a cry to the boyfriend. Was feeling a bit down about the whole being left behind thing

22nd of oct is too late but 22nd of sept is fine.
Remeber UCAS only opens on the 15th.
Do you know where you'd apply if you got a good/average/bad UKCAT though because it can be a big decision and sing an application.

I'd write down a list of "if it goes well" and "If it doesn't go so well" and "If it's not brilliant but it doesn't cause me to wanna shoot myself" list of uni's based on your UKCAT score.

OK gotta hand in my application soon, last minute question


Those of you who have just gotten jobs for your gap year, are you putting it down under the employment section of your UCAS form? do you have to put it down?

is the uniform for your HCA job? and sheffield??!!!???!!! you mustve got a crazy UKCAT score lol

If i'm completely honest, I dont really know what different unis want in terms of UKCAT... just sheffield and Barts are UKCAT whores and liverpool dont use UKCAT and the rest are somewhere inbetween lol ... I keep on trying to make my list but my mum keeps on interfering lol...

my current list of unis are (if chemistry remark goes to plan)
Liverpool
Manchester
St Georges
Kings

Remark doesnt go to plan, I'll retake and do
Peninsula
Kings(EMDP)
Liverpool
Manchester
