Mine's similar but they ask for the PS by that day and reference from teachers. What I don't understand is, the application deadline is around a week after or so. But after personal statement and choices, what more is there to complete?

Not a lot, it's only really personal statement, references and choices they need, as well as all the information you fill out on UCAS like qualifications and contact details etc.

Do you have a source for this? I know they don't like retakes but I was unaware that it was the same for modular exams.

They do state that they would like applicants to have sat all exams within may/june. That being said, I can't see someone being rejected who didn't sit all their exams in june/or is retaking, but someone who has done well first time and sat exams in June will definitely have a good advantage.

My school's internal deadline is Friday, so stressed atm :eek:

Yeah mine is a week this Friday :tongue:

Once we've sent them... the only thing we need to stress about is... A levels, rejections and interviews. :colonhash:

Yay.

You make them sound so easy.

But yeah I'm looking forwards to just forgetting about it, as it's no longer in my hands. BUT until then it's a case of 'oh f*** everything needs improving!'.

Aha well I'm obviously good at hiding my stress. :emo:

This year is going to be hell for me! :p:

Yeah. I don't think I've cared about anything this much in my life. I'm sure my teachers hate me now after all the questions I've asked. :colondollar:

Know how you feel, got to see my references though and they're really positive, which is always a good thing.
Know where you'll be applying?

Aha we're not allowed to see them apparently, but I've been assured mine are positive too... although I doubt teachers actually write bad things about students. :tongue:

Well I did my UKCAT today so I know I'm definitely applying to Newcastle and Sheffield. :biggrin:

Still deciding about the others though!

You?

Manchester, Newcastle, Barts and Keele I expect, spent the past couple weeks making sure they were good choices. How'd your UKCAT go then, I'm assuming good as you're applying to Sheffield.

Yes did it a few weeks ago now, got 707.5 average :colone:

. Only got 560 in VR though which dragged it all down, but oh well, still very happy with it.

I really like the look of Barts, but then again I really like the look of all the ones I'm applying for! If by some miracle I get multiple offers, no idea how I'll choose.

Does anyone know what Aberdeen and Southampton are really interested in an application or is it just a mixture of everything? I've heard Southampton use the personal statement quite a bit?
