St George's Medicine Applicants 2015

I'm thinking of applying to st georges for med this year, I was wondering if you could advise me on entry requirements, i think ill get abbb/aabb this year for AS (not great i know ill probably end up taking a gap year I'm well aware), which is why i was considering retaking. I now they consider modular resists, but would those grades put me at a big disadvantage even though i have good gcses/ if i was predicted AAA? My schools not eligible to any schemes. Also, would dropping chemistry at A level be a bad idea?

Is anyone able to access the next steps page yet? It's supposed to be live today but it is brining up a log in screen.

I don't even want to apply for accommodation or do any of the next step things because after that ocr chemistry exam its nearby impossible for me to get an A now and this will just make me depressed even more

I got AABB last year, I currently have an offer from St Georges from the waiting list and had an Interview at Newcastle (very similar to Durham in terms of standards) so my advice is go for it!

Guys am I missing something here?

I've applied for accommodation but I haven't had confirmation that I've got a room - is that the case with everyone?

Also I've registered but not submitted the DBS thing like Micki told us

Got the health questionnaire and vaccinations from gp too

Is that all that's required?

I know what you're saying aha

But arghh I really just want to go and grovel to Micki Regan (admissions lady) and tell her that this one disproportionately tough paper literally ruined my entire A level. Thank god it's not just me who feels this paper was really disgusting - did you see the Twitter reactions? They made me feel better because they were funny aha

athul?

Can anyone please answer these questions


What unusual questions do they ask you at interview?

What AS Grades are good to get an interview at least?
I'm hoping for AAAb but I don't know if I'll get that. Would they accept something like ABBb

thanks!!

Hi, I just wanted to ask, did your teachers predict you all A grades? And what kind of other things did you do e.g. voluntary service, work experience etc?

whats Athul?

The dealer at Georges, stay away from him he's bad news. Just mentioning his name can get you banned from SGUL for life.

Sorry just read this as I was on holiday.
Yeah they predicted all A's for me, even if you are originally predicted a B as I was in my third subject you should go and tell the subject teacher that for a medical course you need AAA and they should be happy to predict you an A, also my school is very strict with predictions anyway so it really shouldn't be a problem to make it up to AAA if you get a little lower.

I did two weeks work experience, a week in a GPs practice and a week in a local hospital in the emergency department. I did my volunteering work in a few youth groups as well, only one of which was medical related. As long as you have enough to write a good personal statement you should be fine!

Hope this is useful and good luck in the future!
