You've been in medical school approximately about 5 months at best, doubt I'd take your word on how the medical school is. A close friend of mine is final year there, never had a good thing to say tbf.
Regardless, its a medical school at the end of the day. Hope first year is going well.
Then why would you insinuate that you would like my opinion on the matter if you were merely going to continue down such a narrow-minded trail of thought, especially as you haven't actually been here yourself.
A 5th year at Birmingham? I know, a friend in 4th year there hates it too.
However, if you mea a 5th year at Keele then maybe they're doing the wrong course, I've spoken with plenty of my colleagues and they all love it here, the support is excellent and we have more teaching hours than quite a few other medical schools (I have another friend from college at Exeter, and one at Plymouth).
Exactly, we all graduate with the same degree, so it doesn't matter which univeristy we graduate from. Not in the slightest.
@Mutleybm1996 What were your grades for A-level and what work experiences did you do?
pm for details.
Work experience: -2 weeks ENT + theatre -4 days plastic surgery clinics -1 week neuro TIA clinic and wards -1 week anaesthetics + pain clinic +theatre+ 1 half-day of wards. -9 months volunteering at a care home. -2 year part-time job, not healthcare related. -4 years on school mentoring scheme
any tips and advice for preparing for interviews and just getting the grades in general?
where are your interviews?
Work hard for the grades! seriously though, just switch Facebook, TSR etc off and just revise. Though, if you study maths, TSR is good if you can't figure something out :-)

Apart from the long term ones did you do all of these in the summer?

Whilst this is true with regards to foundation applications there is evidence that the medical school you attend does produce variation in postgraduate exam performance. It would also be a little naive to presume that the CV related extra-curriculars are the same in all universities

Please expand?
And yes, I read a paper recently about the performance of candidates from different universities.
