2012 Medicine Re-Applicants Mark I

I'd also suggest Sheffield, but last year their cut-off was 717.5 i heard, so i wouldn't risk applying there with 710

My friend is starting his first year at Sheffield with 672.5 UKCAT :P

How did that happen? Did he apply the year before with deferred entry or something? hmmm...



I've finally got the open day guide from UEA, they sure leave things last minute lol.

Liverpool is probably going to be my fourth option (after UEA, NCL, KCL) but unfortunately they have their open day on the same day as UEA, so i can't go. Hate it when they do that

Thanks- although I was hoping for 700's. I did worst in VR too although I expected too!
At the moment I'm thinking;
Liverpool
Glasgow
Hull-York
and either peninsula or Newcastle (although last year newcastle's ukcat cut-off was 675 so I think this may be too risky?!)
How do East Anglia select for interview?

Hooray! The Hospice got back to me today, I will be able to do some long term volunteering...

... in january though.

I'm thinking about going to the Leicester open day - I'll probably send my application off after this weekend, so it won't make a difference to my choice. I'm definitely applying to Leicester.

Good luck


That's a great score. if i were you i'd look at uni's that are more focused on how you did on your ukcat (as someone has already mentioned i think )

Liverpool don't look at ukcat at all i believe, so (from a strategic viewpoint) i'd give them a pass unless you're applying there for another reason or you really want to go there.

Newcastle?

Right, think I'm defs applying to Aberdeen, Dundee, St Andrews and Edinburgh. These all accept reapplicants right? (double checking haha)

Christ! There's no way I'm going to be able to choose.
BSMS, Cardiff, Manc, Glasgow or Newc...

At least I've got Peninsula down - they were really nice to me on the phone

That makes two of us (apologies; the emotion makes me laugh haha)

Ahh - I'm genuinely excited for starting leicester next year. I've spoken to a couple of the 1st/2nd years there - and they really make you feel as though you'll be part of the family plus the pastoral staff there are meant to amazing - can't wait!

guys,
i'm looking into Newcastle Uni now ... i can't find info about their selection procedure on their website? i.e. if they prefer candidates with higher GCSE's and what their take is on UKCAT.

please could you send me a link?

Go for Newcastle

I loved leicester when i had an interview there, the interviewer unfortunately hated me the moment i stepped in the room. bad times.

As far as I know (If I am wrong, cleverer people please do correct me) they want you to just meet the academic requirements, then they interview x number of people above the UKCAT cut off. Last years cut off was 675 (or was it 667.5? I hope it's only 667.5 as my UKCAT this year it 675 LOL! ) so you need to have a UKCAT above last years cut off to be in with a chance.

hey guys,

i got 710 in my UKCAT.
so far, i'm def applying to Liverpool and Manchester ... the other 2 i'm not too sure about but i have a vague idea.

so any suggestions please?

ahhh thanks. Last year was 675 initially, but then it was lowered to 667.5 as far as I understand
