Hello,
I'm just posting a question to ask for some adivice regarding my situation:
These are my GCSEs:
5As (core science, additional science, Spanish, English literature and catering)
2Bs (English language and goegpraphy)
2Cs (maths and triple science)
These are my a levels:
Biology, chemistry and geography
I did an AS in geography this year and got a B but my college may predict me a grade higher for A2. For biology and chemistry, we will find out our predicted grades next week. (I'm more worried about my grades as I don't know if i'll be able to get them but I am willing to work hard to get the best I can)
I got these scores in my UKCAT:
590 in QR
530 In VR
540 in AR
Situational judgment- Band 2
Average of 553 (is that good enough?)
I am thinking of doing the BMAT but don't want to take the risk of applying to too many BMAT unis.
I am thinking of applying to:
Nottingham (medicine)
Leicester (medicine)
BSMS (medicine)
St George's (medicine)
Portsmouth (dental hygiene and dental therapy)
I have these work experiences/volunteering:
2 weeks in a nursery with educational needs children
6 months and ongoing in a care home
Thinking of getting dental work experience just in case.
My back up plan is:
Dental hygiene and dental therapy in Birmingham
Medical sciences/biomedical sciences in de Montfort leciester
Pharmacy in leciester university
Pharmacy in Brighton
Biomedical sciences in Sussex uni.
I am part of widening participation as I am the first to go to uni in my family.
With the portifolio I have, do you suggest I apply for medicine and see what happens or not apply as I'll be wasting time and apply to something else healthcare related like pharmacy/dental hygiene and dental therapy or biomedical sciences. I know I have the route of a gap year but I don't think it's the right decision for me. Would love to hear what advice I could get.
Thanks
