Graduate Entry Medicine: 2016 Entry

Hi, can anyone suggest another uni to try. I'm going to apply to Keele, Leicester and Glasgow. (All 5 year) Not sure where else to apply, are there any 4 year courses that I might stand a chance with?
I got 2600 on the UKCAT breakdown,
620
670
680
630
I've got a 2:1 honours degree in Adult Nursing and NO A levels.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

your UKCAT is not really competitive enough for the 4-year courses and I think the non-exam 4-years normally need A-levels. Sorry.

sorry but that's not correct. Lots of uni's accept any degree topic including Newcastle, Nottingham and Southampton. There are plenty of others I just cba to look them up as it is not relevant to me (I have a science degree)

Absolutely- I have a classics degree and I've just started GEM at Southampton!

can someone else confirm this? I tried to do it and it wasn't possible. Plus, the last time I applied to medical school, I didn't have to do it

I was surprised by this, so i googled it, the general consensus was that you didnt need to, theres a whole thread on here about it but i cant renember where now

You don't have to do it. You enter your choices on the UKCAT website and they take care of it for you.

The tweet is below and I contacted them directly as there was nothing on their website in regards to this and they confirmed it.

I'm now confused about how to add the UKCAT to my UCAS form. So I graduated in June, but took the UKCAT in September. Do I still put the UKCAT under my uni in the education section? It just seems weird because I'm not still there and I didn't do it there and it's after my graduation date? I might message UCAS, but I already messaged them earlier with a stupid question and I don't want them thinking I'm an idiot.

Thanks for sharing, do you know how we add it?

I'm sure it'll be fine, I imagine that a lot of people will have done the same (I almost did!) and they'll figure it out. Maybe they'll contact you to check? Plus there's conflicting information.

I agree there is conflicting information, they could have made it clearer. I think the most important thing is giving UKCAT your UCAS personal ID and university choices.

People who have previously applied- did you put UKCAT in your education section of UCAS?

Don't worry about it, this was nowhere on the UKCAT information. Your results will be delivered fine, as they have your PID.

Nope, once you got your UKCAT score, there was no need to anything further in previous years.

Think I need to give UCAS a call since I've sent my application off and not added UKCAT in my education section.

I rang Glasgow Monday to see if my degree meant I didn't need a levels (which thankfully it does). I also asked about the ukcat. Last year the lowest successful applicant got 2630. I got 2600 this year and she said that might be enough depending on other peoples scores.

Does anyone know if this is true of any other universities? I've got a 1st in biochemistry but i'd never studied chemistry prior to my degree.

If no one knows, I'll do some emailing/calling tomorrow and update with my findings.

I had 815. Wait and see what the deciles are like this year, because it does always change, but to be completely honest I think 695 will be too low for Southampton :frown:

That will be a good score for undergrad. Graduate entry has much higher thresholds.

Anyone know what to put on UCAS under "Student support fee code" for financing. Currently for year 1 we need to pay around 3k ourselves and the remainer is a loan from student finance england.

So would i be right in putting the code "2" down with stands for "student finance services"

Adult Nursing, the stipulation is that your 1st degree needs to have enough chemistry involved in it. :-/

I'm an adult nurse too !!! Good luck ... My ukcat wasn't as great as I hoped for.. Got 2660 :frown:

fingers crossed tho :smile:

Did anyone else get an email today for Pearson Vue saying we need to email our UCAS id to them so they can contact our unis?

I have applied twice and both times this wasn't necessary!?
