Barts and The London medicine applicants 2014

Thanks. No I agree with you 100% It's just that I'm getting a bit ahead of myself, I know they'd probably tell us this at some point after we commence anyway, so I thought why not find out; completely out of curiousity.

Can any Barts medic enlighten me as to the distribution of exams/OSCEs over the first year and the banding that determines whether you are awarded distinction, merit etc. at the end of the year... Is it by ranking or by % achieved along the course of the year or something along those lines? Thanks.

Today I signed up for Dawson hall at Charterhouse Square!

Is anyone else here going to stay there?

anyone pre-enrolled yet? it doesnt let me on the website

I applied for Mile End because of the ensuites & the diversity of subjects I'd be able to interact with, but ended up with Floyer House (Whitechapel) and am pretty happy with it - ultimately it's only for a year and both halls are only half an hour away, so whichever one you pick, it probably won't make too much of a difference!
Being at Whitechapel will (hopefully!) mean getting away with getting out of bed later too!

For all those who haven't found it yet, here is the reading list : http://www.smd.qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses/induction/111400.pdf

I only bought the first 2 books, and there is an error: you should buy the SEVENTH edition of the first book, not the SIXTH (although ultimately it doesn't matter too much - I checked this with Bart's!)

Additionally, you may find it cheaper to get these books off of Amazon - the first two books in the bundle cost £75 from their recommended retailer, but I was able to get the books from Amazon for £43

Hello, just have my Ukcat 670 band 2, My GCSE 8 A* 3 A, As AAAA and prodict garde is A*A*A, Study medicine in the barts is my dream!

Please advise that do I have chance to interview for 2015?

I would be grateful to hear any advise from 2013 and 2014 the barts medicine students, many thanks.!

Hi guys, I'll possibly be applying to Barts for 2015 entry.

My UCAS tariff is 650 (4 A star predictions, an A star prediction for EPQ and Additional Maths FSMQ), but I think my UKCAT is a bit on the low side at 690, band 1.

I've looked at the admission statistics for 2014 entry, and a mid-range example stated was 640 UCAS tariff, and 710 for the UKCAT, which I guess is pretty similar to mine. I'm not sure, but I'd like to think that there has been a UKCAT deflation this year (just for solace), but also because last years mean was about 2650, and this year, it's about 2550 (although this could change, since it's only valid for tests taken before 8th August).

In all honesty, do you guys think I'll have a chance of getting an interview at Barts?

(10 A stars for GCSEs, but I don't think that's very relevant for Barts).

Hi,

Where to find the the admission statistics for 2014 entry?

Thanks

I know someone with practically identical stats who got an offer for 2014 entry so I think you'll be fine

I worked out that I got 300 UCAS points for my AAAA and D3 in Cambridge Pre-U, I dont understand how people are getting 650+ ucas points??? am i missing something?

Erm who are you

Hi, I think you might be calculating your tariff in terms of your achieved qualifications. Barts look at your predicted A level grades, and determine your UCAS tariff from that.

For example, if you got 4 As for your AS levels, and have taken on 3 A levels with 3 A star predictions, your tariff would be 140 + 140 + 140 + 60 = 480. Then, you add on any other points from other "tariffable" qualifications.

Hope this helps!
