Medical schools tend to be really strict about this because you will often have patient contact from day one and not being 18 has all sorts of legal implications for the university. Therefore I highly doubt you will be allowed to enter if you are not 18 on the first day of the year. But worth maybe emailing to find out?

do you mind if i ask how you felt your interview was, and possibly where you came unstuck at all? I really hope the rest of your applications go well

I thought my interview was actually really good, i never really tripped up on any question really the only thing was that i didn't elaborate on a few questions because they were like "okay" so i felt i should stop.
Thanks, you too

got an email from ucl asking for individual module grades. is this good or bad?

It's a good sign, I'd stay positive about it. Some people aren't asked for them but still.

Hey don't be so sure! The rest of your application looks strong on paper... How are things going with your other unis?

You gotta go all the way to the end. If they didn't want you because your BMAT was too low, they would have rejected you by now so you're still in with a chance! I applied to George's and got an offer :biggrin:
