2014 Medicine Re-Applicants

Well done on the offers guys! I've not been on the thread much since I've been working full time in theatres! So exhausting but definitely worth it I have an interview at Dundee on Friday which I hope goes better than my St George's one which went terribly (got a rejection). I don't think I like MMI but unfortunately all my uni choices are MMI

I met you at the SGUL interview didn't I? I wasn't so lucky either, I'm on the waiting list but it's a long shot!
Good luck with Dundee!

Hi guys! Thought it's definitely time I joined this thread - I am a reapplicant (4 pre-interview rejections last year which left me quite gutted), I have applied to Kings, Nottingham, Leicester and Sheffield this year but have heard nothing so far - should I be worried? Eeeeeek!

I hate this saying but "no news is good news"

Ditto, if they wanted to reject you they could have easily done so by now, so I would say your chances are great for interviews, keep thinking positive

Lol I totally know what you mean - it's just so scary when you're going through the waiting process THE SECOND TIME :'(

Well all of us here are facing the devil a second time , so you're definitely not alone (bring it on I say! )

Haha! I guess we just need to keep thinking positive! How's your application going btw? Where did you apply? (Apologies if you've already been through this earlier in the thread).

That's the spirit It's going alright so far, had a nasty rejection from Exeter awhile back but also had a cool interview at Glasgow (went well I thought), got my second interview at Aberdeen in a few days time and still waiting to hear from Barts and the London Skl How you spending/enjoying your Gap Year?

Sorry about the rejection from Exeter - their loss, eh? :P great news about your interviews though! my gap year is pretty dull atm if I'm honest - I'm working part time (looking for a full time job), doing a course in level 1 sign language and volunteering in a care home. In between that I'm pretty bored lol - how about you? I'm sure you're doing much more exciting things than I am!

For some reason I thought you were a grad applicant...I don't suppose your on the motor forums a lot?

Moi? Oh no, I'm a baby undergrad applicant Motor forums, what do you mean?

Just general car chat...you seem so...mature...

Do you drive a BMW?

Oh right, (Motor) I thought that was code for something medical hehe (typical me reading too much into things). I was thinking of getting one but my big brother chipped in with me to get 'our baby'. So, we bought a Porsche Boxster S from a friend, it's a pretty new 2012 model but I literally just passed my driving test and I really don't want to crash that car so I bought a cheap Nissan Micra last week, and will be practising driving properly on that until I feel comfortable in and around London.

Sorry to those with a Micra, it's a great car to practise in but I hate the look of it.

Insurance is the death of me but hopefully in a few months I'll take the Boxster for a proper ride in the country What car do you drive?

You wot. You drive a PORSCHE?! Oh good lord. GOOD lord man. How the hell did you get insured on that?!

I just bought a '04 Ford Fiesta - ended up doing the legit insurance with ingenie. Let's see, so far, I've managed to drive with the handbrake half down, managed to ignore my mirrors when changing lanes and so nearly scraped the young fellow on my right side, and then almost scraped the fellow on the left side, then I cut someone up on the roundabout without even knowing it... I am literally the worst driver ever :|

P.S. You don't think i've completely ****ed my brakes by managing to drive with the handbrake half down do you?

On hold with Manchester Guess the battle rages on till march!

Well it didn't come cheap let's leave at that… To be honest I'll admit I've been spoiled tons in my life mainly because on both sides of my family (half greek/half chinese) none of my uncles and aunts (8 on each side) have any children so most of the generosity is spread across me and my brother (de monies) .

Oh god, I've been in a few jams like that myself, my main phobia is cyclists they're everywhere in London and they come up so swift and silent, always in my blind spot. I nearly knocked one down the other day...if I didn't slam my horn to alert him, he would've been flattened by the lorry crossing at the junction. Can you drive and talk yet? I cannot, if you're in the car with me…just stfu haha, I won't be talking to you, I'll be 300% focused on the road.

Erm, no I think it you really screwed up your brakes you would notice quite quickly but don't make that a daily habit. I've done it myself many times but from now I just immediately put the handbrake down when I'm setting off, check the mirrors…parking is a b-itch though haha, any tips?
