2012 Medicine Re-Applicants Mark I

Yes, bham lol

So are you also reapplicant then?

I have a job too, at a school for disabled children. I'm only a supply though and noone is ill at the moment, GODDAMMIT!

I want to save up loaaads of money, because I just want to travel everywhere! I've already got plans to go to an orphanage in south africa for ~3 weeks, but I'm sort of cheating because my aunt 'n' uncle own it, so it's to see my cousins and family combined with volunteering (and hopefully a lot of football )

I also want to do CampAmerica in the summer, and travel around either Australia or Europe. So im not really doing much that will help my application, but I'd rather enjoy my gap year and make the most of it. (I probably wont be saying that when, no if, let's say IF, I get another 4 rejections)

My UKCAT was meh, people tell me it's good, but I have gone down from last year 675... Good luck with yours

What you got planned? (If I'm right in thinking you're a gap yearer too)

did you do the EPQ too? I know total waste of time and i truly hope this E will not ruin my application.

Wow, thats very efficient!



Quite pleased at the moment - planning a trip to the Newcastle open day next saturday. Is pretty lucky that I decided I wanted it to look at it, and just happens there's an open day So probably going to book a hotel/hostel/b&b for friday night and have a fun few hours on the train there and back :|

Going on my own though... oh the independence!

Oh and the Metro is fabulous for getting about!

I kind of stalked track last year hence the need to memorise my UCAS no.

If they're giving some people new no.s then they must go on email addresses or something when they think a personal statement looks similar ... well at least I hope they do since mine is just last years polished up a bit

They should really give us reapplicants some sort of bonus points or free interview for perseverance.

THE STALKING THREAD IS ALREADY LIVE?!


Damn, this **** is gettin' serious.


Well if you need any help on which cheap hotels are closest to the uni or what buses to get or if you get lost or something then feel free to ask or message me
Which day is the open day? I shall look forward to walking round town with loads of chinese and other randoms staring in a confused manner/taking pictures everywhere


Also when you're booking your train its Newcastle central (metro).
There's like three different options but that one's central ncl.



What choo talkin' bout?! The buses are canny fabulous too!


Living next to the Coast Rd has some major advantages
Do you live here too?

I see, I'm more of a hotmail refresher myself

Lmao i'm gna stick my ucas tack number on my bedroom wall now then so i can remember it. My wall is particularly empty now it's got no a level revision on it



They should give us immediate interviews and cookies for wanting this so much.
Infact i should be alllowed to write, "going through the pain of getting four medicine rejjections and reapplying again eventhough all my friends are at uni and i'm by myself and have to find/do a bloody full time job just for the hope of potentially getting one offer this year shows i'm more committed, motivated and awesome than any of these year 12's applying. So interview me."

Glad to hear you're going -and on your own.Bring the boyfriend back a few photos eg bridges over the Tyne,fantastic architecture on south side of river etc

Unfortunately I am a re-applicant too. And when I say "i am a re-applicant" I feel that I am sub-consiously saying "Oh yes! I am a failure, didn't manage to get into any med school of my choice last year."..lol

You have great gap year plans! I will not be travelling abroad not because I do not want to but I have been moving around the globe until now because of my father's job (not literally around the globe but I have lived in 6-7 different countries) and also I need to save some money for future and be nice independent girl...lol! ^_^ I will be working as a care worker for next 12 months, thats all. And yes, a regular gym and swimming to help cope with having no friends around..haha

675...Well done on that score! But when you say its a poor score I totally understand what you mean. BTW how did you manage to get that score? Some tips would be appreciated. I have literally mugged up 600q book but i am still dreading the upcoming real test.

What are your uni choices? I am planning to apply to keele and bristol.

Which part of the fabulous city are you from ?

Ahh thanks I'm going to look for hotels tomorrow probably The open day is on saturday - although I'm sure it'll be obvious cus of all the lost looking people walking around :P

Heaton oioi.
are you applying here?


omg saturday is the 1st of october... 2 weeks till the deadline


i'm actually really excited for sending off my application and commencing the wait and obsession with hotmail

I'm sorry i don't know wha t EPQ is
Bitch
But hey, i improved by a whole 10 from last year to 630...
So where you applying?! I assume not aberdeen or lancaster anymore

Eh but surely they would know you're a reapplicant when you're using the same ucas id no as last year?

I don't know! I still can't decide and I need to send my form off to college tomorrow D: I'm tempted still to apply for Lancaster and maybe aberdeen ... but then again glasgow... ahhhh I don't know what to do! :O Help me!

They should really give us reapplicants some sort of bonus points or free interview for perseverance.

that is incredible, i am encouraged as well as inspired now! and i haven't congratulated you upon such fantastic score have I? so yeah WELLDONE!

and by 15 hrs total: do you mean 15 hrs total of preparation or 15 hrs a day?

Where were you originally going to apply?

If I were you, I'd go for places who rank you by UKCAT. So Glasgow, Newcastle, Peninsula... You could even go for SHeffield maybe? I know you're below their cutoff from last year, but if they are right about the cutoff going down, you could be in with a good chance

I was going for St. Andrews, Cardiff, Lancaster and either Aberdeen or Glasgow but now I'm not sure. I know that I didn't like Newcastle (no offence to Lauren lol :P ) an it's a bit close to home and I've never really looked at Peninsula, might give it a look over

Where is it that you're applying too?

Sheffield, Leicester, Glasgow, and probably Newcastle now - as long as I like it when I visit on Saturday

Oh, we don't have any in common !!
I watched your video though You have the best accent ever! Thanks for the tips :P

Haha, I didn't think I even had an accent :P

well maybe you don't! don't trust me with these accents things... when I went to Birmingham to check out my accommodation (lol what a waste of time!) everyone told me how horrible the Bham accent is but I thought it was really nice :s
