Medicine 2012...(hopeful entrants) !!

FWIW I've just viewed it (mod powers, don't worry.. only mods/supermods can see it) and they sound like douchebags atm, if you want to rant privately I'll lend an ear, but don't let them bother you and for the other thing you're a TSR medic applicant.. you'll be more prepared and I have faith that you should do well

Now I've tried not to talk too specifically about anything, but so that you realise what I'm on about but if you want any of this post removing let me know and I won't mind

I've been there

Yeah laurie if you want me to delete my post because it has your quote in it so people won't see then i'm okay with that or I could just remove what you said and make it a ": )" instead or something similar

That, and the fact abdkam quoted the post at 17.42

You may want to edit that post

thanks, but i dont think they'll start anything even if they read it theyre usually pretty nice people, hence why theyre my friends, i guess its just the stress of medicine applications?

But then how will you win TSR Medicine awards 'biggest worrier' 2012?

Hi, i was just wondering if i did only 3 subjects at AS but then carried all 3 on to A2 and got predicted grades AAA for A2 in physics, chemistry , and biology would that ruin my chances of getting an offer bacause i have not done i 4th subject to AS??

It entirely depends on where you've applied. If you've applied to med schools that don't mention a specific AS requirement or the need to have taken at least 4 i don't think it would matter ( don't take this as any type of definite answer!). As many people would recommend, its best to talk to the admissions office of the places you've applied for, find out and hope for the best!

I believe it would harm your application because a lot of med schools ask for a extra AS at grade B (barts and leicester) and peninsula want an extra AS at C or above however I believe manchester do not care (I believe fell free to correct me on this) , I don't know about every med school as I only quoted from the med schools I'm applying to, but is there any reason why you cannot do an extra AS, because it will allow you to apply to more med schools and doing an 4th AS allows you to do a subject for fun or completely away from science that you are interested in

thanx its just im doing economics and im not really liking it...i will stick with it to AS bit i would rather not end up with a bad grade. thank you for advice thou

ye i was thinking to apply to manchester as my first choice anyhow and the requirements did not state that you need a 4th AS, but i would not want to limit the number of universties i can apply for.
im doing economics at the moment, im just not finding it as interesting as i thought it would be. If this is the case id be happy to stick with it thou thanks

No worries having re-read your question i answered assuming that you had already applied (silly me) hopefully my answer is still relevant and it's better as you actually have the opportunity to make that decision and apply accordingly.

Yeah just stick with it really, I had a substitute teacher all through physics last year that just read out of the book and I really wanted to drop it but in the end it was worth it as 3 out of my 4 uni's wanted a 4th AS, and if the UKCAT doesn't go well and its not high enough for you to apply to manchester at least you would have other schools to apply to, not saying you won't get a good enough UKCAT score

I just came on, and now I'm curious as to what's going on?

basically, i had a bit of a moan about some friends of mine, then realised that i was 1) pulling the mood of the thread down, and 2) at risk of being discovered by said friends who could start something about i, and i deleted it.

but by that time people had replied (not that im complaining about people who replied, they were really lovely ) and my comment was in the quotes.

so the lovely penguinsaysquack came along and edited the posts so they werent there anymore

so, you didnt miss much really
