2012 Medicine Re-Applicants Mark I

Im not applying to sheffield but was talking to someone who said sheffield were thinking of ditching the ukcat. It obviously won't be this year but i'm sure ther will be less emphasis on it. You have a great score and im sure you will be fine. Give them a phone and say you desperately want to go there and see what they say. You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

I read on one of the threads that at the open day that they were going to lower it this year. Try the sheffield thread if there is one.

Barts and the London, hands down

Damn! I now have to send a detailed email to all Unis I want to apply to because I might be classed as an international student!
I've lived here for 16 years! Is this a problemo?

Why?

I think if you were to give a totally balanced opinion then you ought to mention the awful all year round weather Scotland has, in particular constant rain which can be quite depressing.The long range winter forecast has to be just like the previous 2yrs with the chaotic snow forecast. You mention loch lomond which is indeed beautiful but infested with midges! and enjoying it in the rain is something you have to get used to.The city as you say has many great bars museums etc but so do most big cities look at edinburgh for example.The Glasgow course it's self hasn't been without it's problems, this is why they have dropped some pbl sessions as the Glasgow medical students were found 'wanting' compared to other medical schools. many of last years tsr applicants hated the glasgow interview due to the unfriendliness of the interviewers (check back and find them if you like) Aberdeen for example has a very friendly interview panel apparently.Glasgow and the west is saddled with the embarrassing bigotry that does not seem quite the same in the east. There is no point in suggesting you avoid certain pubs as it's everywhere. I know I've gone to school in Glasgow all my life!

i applied today! i am really rethinking leicester...
i just want to get interviews :'(
also my school made me put that i was studying there til 2012 even though im not? all so i could get a predicted grade in extra subjects which i'm not even doing at school

anyone else do the same?

Guys! In education I just put GCSEs and A Levels right? Thanks ^^

That's all I did as I was told that I technically didnt have AS levels as they had been converted to A levels

BSMS probably slightly safer as Southampton is a total lottery but essentially up to where you would like to be

right so I emailed Sheffield to ask whether it was true that their cut-off may decrease this year and I was told that they don't know of the cut-off till Nov when they have all the UKCAT scores.

So it seems like they're neutral on that subject and like nearly every med school, will not comment on the cut-off at all.

So is it a rumour that Sheffield said the cut-off will decrease then?
