Well done on the A level results! Congrats!
My GCSEs were not as competitive either but I think there is less emphasis on those if you have achieved grades :smile:

I haven't done my UKCAT either. How is the prep? I would decide where to apply after doing the test :smile:

Is it absolute bonkers that I haven't even started on my personal statement (and will not be starting until September 12th)?

I also kind of have a school deadline of the 23rd of September...

I only started mine recently so I wouldn't worry too much but you want to start putting a lot of hours into it because the deadline is the 15th, to compensate for a late start :smile:

Yeah...my school wants to see my personal statement on the 23rd, they've always been extra early about deadlines. :s-smilie:

It's better than when I applied last year, it was the 13th :dontknow:

hi, i've got fairly similar stuff to you (ain't done ukcat yet though). Some places worth looking into- Leicester depends what your gcses A*s were in but you'd probs score highly if you look at there application system, also manchester you'd get an interview i think (although it's group interviews which personally i didn't enjoy), I'm still looking into the specifics for glasgow but i believe they have a UKCAT cut off of around 670-ish (it's based on top 800 scores of applicants tho so is subject to change) so you'd probs get interview.
Best of luck for the remark :smile:

I thought Manchester require AAA, in two years??

Hey guys,
I am reapplying for 2014 entry after being rejected pre-interview for all 4 of my applications. I applied to QUB, Dundee, Cardiff and Glasgow.

GCSE: 4A*s, 5As, B
AS: AAAA
A2: AAB
UKCAT(2012): 642.5

I am currently resitting the B at Alevel. Any advice on which unis will take a resit at Alevel? I know QUB will take resits as long as I end up with AAA at Alevel.

Thanks!

How do you now QUB accept re-sit applicants? I thought they didn't.

Which subject was the B in?

It says in their admissions they will if you get AAB minimum and resit the B to get an A. You can only do this if you previously applied in the last year!

B was in chemistry unfortunately. Poor module 5 paper dragged me just below

Yeah, we get some form of help when we come in.

Have you started your personal statement? I'm really struggling with what I might put in mine as I don't have a job yet and I don't have any solid plans for the gap year :frown:

I have kind of done a draft but its not really a draft (it's a list of everything I will include :tongue:

lol) so using a list I can change the order of the stuff I put in :smile:

I'm not gonna mention my gap year at all because I didn't find a job and won't be doing anything special lol. If I found a job before October the 15ths then I would include it :smile:

I don't think there is a point of including stuff you haven't done yet!

Are you gonna mention your gap year?

Where would I be at an advantage in relation to Med school's entry requirements for A-Levels. I got A*AAB.

PS, I wouldn't mind in Wales/Scotland, it doesn't have to be England! :biggrin:

I think you misunderstood me. I was explaining that I wouldn't mind studying medicine in England or Northern Ireland. Just really around this area!
I am open to travelling and enjoy it. :biggrin:

I am researching and was wondering which uni's place an applicant at an advantage when you have completed your A-Levels. I know Queens do in belfast.

Lol I think that's the third time you have asked that :smile:

You would be at an advantage for having 4 a levels only at Queen Mary London, in terms of A*s I don't thinks many unis discriminate them from As: apart from Oxbridge, Birmingham, Exeter and Edinburgh where A*AA is a typical offer :smile:
