This is actually so cute, I feel better about flopping C4 now xxx

gotta wait for my school to finalise my predictions, feeling nervy as ****. Why does Liverpool want an A* prediction in maths? -internal screaming-

Aha glad I could help :wink: God same :/ Ikr it's just unnecessary!!

Liverpool want you to get A*s in anything you retake right? Next year is going to be so much fun!!!!!!! (not)

Literally what the heck. It's a bit ridiculous. I think I'm gonna email them and ask if an A is OK if I have other A* predictions. I can imagine they'll say no tho :/

When I emailed Liverpool they said they weren't too sure, but to apply with a "competitive" score. I'm thinking that means they're using a more holistic approach than a cut off? I haven't had a reply from Lancaster yet, though.

Considering, it is the first time Liverpool are considering the UKCAT and Lancaster are using the BMAT for the first time, I don't think they'll have a cut off score. I think it would be best to email them though. :smile:

How did it go for you bye? Did you miss an offer? Welcome to the resit crew btw x

Reading the resit thread for 2015 entry is pretty inspiring btw guys. We can do this ok, Resit cru represent 😂


Haha yes! I didn't get any interviews last year lol (im such a failure). I wanted to apply with AAA in September but ended up with BBB in biology chemistry and maths AND THEY WERE ALL 4 UMS AWAY *cries*

I sent 2 maths, 1 bio 1 chem off for remarks. One maths goes up by 4 ums and the other came down by 4 (my luck!) biology went down by 5 ums!!! and chemistry stayed the same.

And that's my crisis.

Me too that's why I started this thread to look for people to relate too😂😂I'm the only one out of all my friends who missed their offer :frown: :frown:

Same :/ my mum was so upset but I guess she's come to terms with it, my school laughed at me for wanting to reapply but hey I just don't want to regret not trying everything I can to get in!

Hi guys,

I was just wondering if there were many people looking to take a gap year and resit their A2s to apply again for Medicine 2016 entry?

I had an offer from St George's this year but missed my grades so am taking a forced gap year and trying again :smile:

Would be nice to know a few others in this situation!


Yep, I'm in the same boat. I have never been so scared in my life. Please check this out and give me an honest opinion on my chances for 2016 entry because I am killing myself over this.

I asked one of my old teachers for a reference, he said 'Medicine is not for you, think of something else.'

Still have it saved in my e-mail.... I got an offer.

Yeah don't listen to what they're saying, they've only known you for a short time.

Wish you the best, goodluck!

I know exactly what you mean, it sucks but then I do well on a ukcat mock or something and get really motivated again!

The same thing happened to me!

The minute I got my unconditional medicine offer I emailed my head of year and chemistry teacher straight away and told them where to shove it
