Exeter medical school applicants 2015!

Extra A*s at GCSE or A level won't give you any preference over other candidates, and the PS isn't used at all. As long as you meet the minimum requirements you should get yourself an interview

do you know what the actually gcse requirements are?

Not off the top of my head, you'll have to check the website or email medical admissions i'm afraid. I got my interview with 1 A*, 6 A's, 5 B's, 1 C (A's and B's in Maths, Englishes and Sciences) if that's any indication from last year

ok thanks how are you enjoying exeter?

I fell in love with it at the open day xD
Last year I made sure not to have favourites so I would be equally ecstatic with any offer...but this time Exeter...just wow.

(although as a resitter I'd be amazed if I got in anywhere)

Thanks for all the help you've given in this thread! Enjoy uni

Thank you! you're all very welcome, i remember using the student room loads last year.

While I really love it here, the reality with medical applications is that any medical school is a good one. It only takes one offer to become a doctor, so definitely be proud of any you get. Remember it's all worth it in the end!

Good luck with your application, i think the send off deadline is soon isn't it?

Yeah unfortunately last year I didn't make the most of all 3 of my offers -_- hopefully I can get an offer and the 4 UMS I need to finally get in!!!

Thanks I really hope it's worth going through it all again!

you got 3 offers and just missed out :O how horrendous! are you applying to the same ones?

Is it true you can keep your student accommodation for the whole 5 years?

Plymouth and Exeter used to be one medical school (Peninsula). They split just prior to 2013 entry. Because they split so recently, the course isn't yet accredited by the GMC, but they are both undergoing regular checks to ensure that they are approved when the first cohort leaves in a few years. I wouldn't worry about it though - because their teaching methods are so similar to Peninsula, they're almost certain to be approved for the first cohort that graduates

Basically what cwi111 said, if you need any worries put to rest, i think the gmc publishes documents on whether the teaching is up to scratch in each medical school. if you still have concerns maybe check it out

May I ask, was the interview like Plymouth's (3 ethical scenarios, etc etc), or like a "normal" panel interview (a bit of PS, some ethics, problem solving, work experience reflection, etc etc)?

Thank you, guys for the quick answers! I am still concerned about it not being accredited by the GMC, but I am applying next October (2015) so until then I will have to choose. Thanks

Applied here this afternoon! Fingers crossed!

Same!! Good luck!!!
