2014 Medicine Re-Applicants

It's so stressful seeing all you guys with (sometimes multiple) offers and I'm sitting here with nothing congrats to all of you though!

Hang in there. Your time will come!

Yeah get your 4 offers then smugly decline those you don't want, as a payback for last year :L

Seeing the 2013 reapplicants thread last year after my final rejection, I thought they were a lucky group and I didn't expect our year to do as well as them. But really well done people, we made it

Hello guys! Congratulations to everyone who has received an offer! Hard luck to those who weren't so lucky, I'm sure you'll get 'em next time!

I'm a first time applicant for 2014 entry but at the moment it's looking like I'm going to have to take a gap year and apply as a re applicant for 2015 entry!

I'd like to seek some advice from you guys about this! Which universities are the best for re applicants? Did you apply to any of the universities you were rejected from? And also, I hope you don't mind sharing with me exactly what you did during your gap year? This would be very helpful to me!

Thanks a million (in advance) 😜

I dont think there's universities that are best but probably a few you should avoid. Have a look at the applying to your strengths page on here to see where would be best in your situation (if it comes to that, hope not!). Personally I applied to all the same universities as last time but just worked on my weak points of my application (mainly due to the fact I'm Scottish and didn't want to pay uni fees haha).

My gap year has been pretty shoddy if I'm honest. I couldnt really afford to travel or anything and job seeking is incredibly hard, especially in a smaller city. Don't cut your options, apply for everything and anything but try and get a job in the NHS or a care home. I had a load of interviews but missed out by not much most times :/ I've been working in Schuh part time since October and I do volunteering at a Macmillan day care unit for 10 hiurs a week.

Anyway, best of luck!

Congratulations! And thanks for the advice ������

If you are a reapplicant with the grades without resit anywhere! However exeter i think some reapplicants had a few issues with not because they were reapplicanta but in relation to predicted grades etc those with achieved aaa were just rejected because year 13s were predictes a*a*a* i dont know what happened but it may be worth looking into. Nottingham dont let you reapply if you were rejected AFTER interview but that is all i know of i applied to two i got pre interview rejections from last year and got an offer from one of them and an interview (still not heard yet) off one i didnt apply to last year. All unis i know of welcone gap year students and just apply to your strengths and dont worry make your gap year about you and not medicine (that is hard i know) save a bit of your money and youll have far less worries when looking at accomodation etc. I worl part time in retail and then use the rest of the week to volunteer on the ward in hospital so its a nice balance

Alright thank you so very much for the advice! You said you volunteered in a hospital ward, what exactly were you doing? And how did you obtain the placement?
