Warwick, Barts, Southampton, and either Newcastle or Kings, if I can ever make up my mind!

I know the feeling there was torn between Warwick and Kings! What's your UKCAT score?

Any suggestions on where to apply with 633 Average, Band 1 in SJ and 1st class degree and MSc pending? Thanks :smile:


Maybe Newcastle as they don't state a specific threshold and possibly Southampton if you have the Chemistry A Level at grade C. Also depends on your A Level results for universities such as Birmingham who don't require an entry exam. I'd google "graduate entry medicine" and look at the medical school entry requirements for graduates for each one :smile:

Thank you! :smile: I didn't do well in my A levels so Southampton and Birmingham are a no :/ so far only KCL and QM are the only Universities who look only at degree classifications and not A levels

No problem :smile: and you might have a chance with Newcastle they don't specify any a levels either and I know I didn't do too great in a level either so I had same problem :smile:

I'll give them a call on Monday and see what they say about A levels for the GEM course, I think the course is more for health professionals from what they've mentioned. Good luck with your application :smile:

in case you don't know, Southampton don't really care about A levels except chemistry at grade C. I didn't sit chemistry and they've still said i can apply as my degree had enough chemistry content, so you might be alright there depending on degree.

I'm kind of terrified applying to any universities which take into account GCSE and A levels. I didn't do terrible but it wasn't all A*s or A's. I wonder if many applying to graduate entry do have all A's or A*s?

Thank you! Will call Southampton and ask them about my degree as well. Most graduate courses I've seen don't look at GCSEs (besides maths and English at Grade B) to be honest; just A Levels and degree or Degree classification alone
If I get predicted a first, will it be likely that the unis will make my conditions to achieve a first or will it be the standard 2:1 offer?
