Re: Reapplying to universities which I have already applied to
Yes I will be, but that is simply because my only options (as a graduate applicant) are the Scottish medical schools. Last year I applied to Aberdeen, Dundee (pre-med), St. Andrews, and Edinburgh with only Aberdeen and Dundee being actual possibilities. For 2014 I'll be applying to Aberdeen, Edinburgh, and Glasgow with the qualifications I lacked before (Highers) and around a year of work experience in a hospital, so I'll be a much better candidate.
