2012 Medicine Re-Applicants Mark I

haha unis said they will count because it's extra academic work...but thank you for your wisdom

Nope, normal student from the UK. Predicted 4 A's, 6A* at GCSE and 672 UKCaT!

Ohh, you're kidding? Well I just went on the website, and they said quite a lot about stuff at Mile End, so I just went and wandered over there while I was in London...

Yeahh I have sent it off Trying not to think about it for a bit now - I know I won't hear anything at all for a while :/

Hey, if I want someone to take a look at my personal statement, do I create a thread in the "Medical, Health and Life/Biosciences Personal Statement Help" thread? I just want to be sure I'm doing it in the right place

They say quite a bit about Mile End probably because it's a relatively pretty campus and if you just saw Whitechapel it'd put people off..

If you're ever back in london then pop down to Whitechapel and we'll have a pint

Not for a few months probably... unless you went for Birmingham who are already giving out interviews..


Yep, create a thread here: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=240 if you haven't already done so

Just messaged you dude. Might as well reply on here

My lovely penguin. How are you? Where does all the originals congregate these days? Is there a Durham applicants thread i can't find it. Also are you doing the WIKI page this year? Much love x

Will do then if you want



I'm very well thanks! Aside from the freshers flu at least
Yourself?
Ah the originals... not really seen many of them tbh.. there's myself, a moist feeling, Beska and that could well be it..

We're all pretty inactive when it comes to posting but you'll see me and Beska all over the place, but mainly chatting in the TSR medical students thread now that we can..

Yeah there's a Durham thread here: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1630533 though it's a bit quiet atm..
You'll have to liven things up

How's things btw? I can't remember what happened with your application and whether you're reapplying this year or if you got in

I'm taking a much less active role this year, at least for the start of the year whilst I get settled in to a work routine and get more efficient at PBLs and stuff. However I'll still be looking after it a bit when help is needed and already had to deal with two vandals (well same person, two accounts... for now... )

You wanting to help out?

Good to hear from you again

Freshers flu is quite the norm i hope you get well soon

Where's my Delilah? As he divorced me?

Thanks for the link. I t was quiet all last year too. I indeed got in. I'm at Durham. See the connection now?

I don't want to help until at least Xmas so i know what i'm doing and the pace i'm studyiing at. But yeah sure i'll help out if i can Get them blocked, you know people in high places, we at least on here

Did anything ever come of the third book from Dr Pemberton and the photoshoot Beska and co went on?

Nice to hear from you too

Hi guys, still have ALOT of catching up to do since I have barely been on TSR at the moment LOL
Funniest thing happened, I'd spent weeks improving on drafts for my personal statement based on my referee's advice, then after getting some doctors at work to read it and posting it on PS helper, they basically ripped it to shreds so I'm frantically trying to finish it now.
It's tough because I'm having to change the main focus of most of my paragraphs so I pretty much just started again.. But I'm glad, in a way, that I know now..

Anyways I should be more involved in this thread after Oct 15th!! Fingers crossed for everyone and good luck. Hopefully this will be our year!

Yep, create a thread here: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=240 if you haven't already done so

Hey guy's, I'm not really sure what to say in my PS about my gap year. I'll be doing voluntary work at a hospital That's all I know for definite but other things are no for definite. Can anyone give me some advice.

Thanks.

The important thing is to show that you are going to do something productive with your time, but in terms of experience, there isn't a lot you can say - stuff you've already done has much more value than stuff you are going to do. Besides, I know once I'd talked about all the stuff I've already done, there wasn't really much space to write about my gap year. So just mention your voluntary work, and I think if you aren't sure what else, best not to put anything - rather than say something vague.

It's amazing how much one learns about applying to medicine when you are forced to reapply! If I compare myself now to 1 year ago, I feel like I am the master of applying... (?)
