2012 Medicine Re-Applicants Mark I

ukcat tomorrow, panicking, waaaaah

Their feedback letter was also oh so kind to tell me that im 'welcome to reapply' however my ukcat is unlikely to increase and therefore they 'cannot predict how highly the ukcat scores of next years applicants will increase in comparison to this years which made me not get the offer'

therefore, you're ukcat is **** so accept it.
i dunno. i like the idea tha i get to buy a big coat for snow in aberdeen :/ lmao!




... btw im not joking about this partying at lancaster or liverpool... lancaster is more likely as they only have like 5 interview days :O

its been 2 days since my friends left and im already bored out of my mind. cant believe its come to this lol

Have most people submitted their application yet?

Dammit, I couldn't manage the 7 year old, but I've finished off a 4 year old? Do you think thats enough? :|




And also - I have a crazy chinese friend. He has a fanpage on facebook

Best leave Barts to the Irish then, we've had plenty of practise at that! I find a fine straw works best myself

No need to be like that. It's not a self plug, I don't make any money out of this. I am bored and just wanted something to do.

Have fun being a troll

Yayy, well done on UKCAT

Haha, you say that in a sarcastic way, but how good would it feel if you actually had done everything haha.




I don't think he was serious hun



EDIT: Damn, just realised that sounded SOO patronising. I didn't mean to be

Ohh I don't know, you'd have to impress at interview.

And I was helping my Chinese friend tonight,
just got in actually, been at work since 8.15
then helped him out in the Chinese (for free) .
His cousins in hospital atm and does all the cooking etc,
So I ran the counter so that Chris could cook untill his cousins better.
There were a couple of other of his family members too,
Do you reckon I should mention it at interview? :P:P
It's right that I help a friend when he's in a sticky situation, but essentially that chineese tonight was being run by two 18 year olds (taking orders, cooking them etc etc)
His cousin/sister(no idea which) and his cousins other half were preparing the food also.
Some people are soo impatient when they want their chineese.



I'm half irish half welsh :P.
I found that it worked best if you used a hollow javelin from 25 and a half paces.
Any more or less then you don't get rewarded with a rainbow ride and sweet sweet gold.






I was only messing :P
Seriously I completely agree with helping other medical applicants, puts everyone in the same boat.
I'm a friendly guy really D

Frantically rushes out to practice with said javelin

Ah so you've got the best of both worlds then!

whispers
I've heard St George's are looking for candidates who can shoot one handed a scalpel of a dragons ear from 50 paces whilst stirring poitchin with the other

sounds like you'll be ideally suited

For those unlucky enough not to be Irish Poitchin is a very strong very illegal homemade alcohol that we Irish would never ever dream of making/drinking

Poitin is only illegal if you get caught drinking it.
It's like the irish version of vodka, potato based (as most irish things seem to be :P)

See i've never shot a gun, I can however shoot the wings off a fly from 50 paces with a BB gun, would that do?
I have to have at least one ear open though, otherwise I can't see.
Daymnn I can't apply St. Gorgeous

I'm kinda sure its making it too at least thats what it says in the old children's rhyme!

Well I'm sure if you spend at least 6,000 characters explaining that in your personal statement they might, might make an exception

Anyhow who said it had to be a gun? I was thinking more along the lines of syringes filled with sweetcorn which would enter more into the medical spirit of the task

I know exactly how you feel. It feels so lonely not to have my friends around. They probably wont miss me a because they are having such a quality time at fresher's.
I havent prepared for my ukcat and also am still making no progress in the job hunt.
WHAT A WONDERFUL LIFE

I was taking the mic lol,

6000 char? brilliant.

This kinda reminds me of those threads that help us through the hard times by being purely satirical.


OH NO A SHAMELESS SELF PLUG!.

whoops

Bath Medical School! Oxbridgers prostrate themselves in awe when confronted by the sheer mightiness of the Bath Meds, noble lauerates compose sonnets which barely capture the eloquence of their surgical skills and Jedward dream of emulating their hairstyles! But I'm still 1 short of a 9880765 UKCAT average sighs

On a less serious note that was the most amazing thread

I don't know why it was closed It was just hilarious

Hi,
I was wondering what kind of work would be seen as relevant?

I know that getting a job as a HCA would be a good choice, but I don't think I'd be able to handle doing a full time job as well as studying for admissions tests and volunteering on the weekend at a care home which I don't want to stop.

Any current HCAs - could you please tell me what the job is like? Is it manageable or do you feel a bit overwhelmed by it?

Also would volunteering be enough with a paid job in retail/ect or would the work have to be related to medicine?

I know this is all rather waffly, but it is 3am...I'm up doing ps
