That's great :biggrin:

I think it was 25/30 last year. What are your academics like?

So I need to aim for at least 10/15 for my ps and reference. my academics are different. I did a medicine foundation year and achieved an overall distinction including distinction in the bio and chem modules. So they're not taking my A levels into account and GCSE maths-A and GCSE english-B.

does anyone know if you have to bring evidence of ALL your work experience placements to interview or just three?

It's just a went to an alzheimers centre when i was 16 and i dot think they'd remember me because it wasnt documented or anything and i dont want this to be a problem! :/

For interviews last year we didn't need to bring in evidence, just needed to fill in a form on the day I think about the lengthiest voluntary work or something.

Is this something new? :confused:

I did ask for feedback at the time and all I got was a score out of 30 each time with the second being less than the first. I believe my academics got 15/15 and then I somehow managed to score less for my other parts the second year with so much more :tongue:

Hey I'm thinking of applying to BSMS. You say that you got 15/15 in the academics section, what grades did you get if you don't mind me asking?? Also, I have 3 a grades at A-Level and applying third time round. I have 2a* and 6A and 1B at GCSE, what do you think my academics score is likely to be based on last year?? Also, could you reply quickly please since today is the deadline and I still haven't decided on my fourth choice as of yet.

Hey guys, I have AAAb at A-Level, what do you think my academic score will be?? Would I score 14 or 15 out of 15. Cheers. BTW I haven't finalised my application yet and am strongly applying here, so a quick reply would be kind.

Anyone received a confirmation e-mail yet? BSMS is my only choice that hasn't e-mailed back, and there's always the niggling worry that they've lost my application or something! :tongue:

No, but not all universities send a confirmation e-mail, they usually get in touch with you when they have reached a decision, and this may apply with BSMS. I can assure you they will have not have lost your application, they'll be going through the applications at the moment :smile:
