Graduate Entry Medicine 2017

Anyone heard from SGUL? :/

Nope, not heard from anyone yet. Thought I'd have heard from Warwick by now considering the UKCAT scores were sent out before GAMSAT, but still nothing... This is the time period I hate the most, although I can imagine post interview waiting for an offer will be worse haha.

I attended the interview last year. The advise I can give is to be well prepared to think on your feet especially in the three stations where they ask the life science questions. Don't get bogged down in revising abstruse intricacies because you think the questions are going to be super-duper difficult because it is Cambridge. For the general questions, books on MMI available for purchase on the market are fine. Beware about being asked how your previous or current research at undergrad or postgrad level relate to medicine. I know it sounds trite, but relax. They are very nice and helpful thorought the all process: no gotcha questions.Good luck, you will do great. 😆

Anybody know where i can find the applicants:interview and interviewffer ratios?

(I've applied to Liverpool, Cardiff and Keele)

The UKCAT should be abolished! A lot of highly capable students miss out just because they did badly on the UKCAT. The reasoning for establishing the UKCAT as a entry requirement seems logical but it is not really reflective of a students potential to become a doctor. Admissions tutor should be more pragmatic on deciding a candidates potential to become a doctor.

The GAMSAT and BMAT exams on the other hand are very fair and reasonable.

I applied to both Newcaslte and Kings and haven't heard back yet but other people have, should I expect a rejection now then?

Errr... can't say I agree. In an argument about the entrance exam not being reflective of the skills required to be a doctor, saying the GAMSAT is fair is rather ridiculous considering two thirds of it involve writing argumentative and reflective essays to vague historical quotes and digesting poetry and literature to determine the most appropriate underlying thematic answer... hardly testing our drug metabolism knowledge or our communication skills is it.

All 3 entrance exams are very much 'hoop jumping' requirements.

Edit: this wasn't meant to sound arsey so sorry if it does. Still harbouring some ill feeling towards GAMSAT haha

Whether we think its fair or not I dont think its going to make a difference, these tests are used by unis, they dont yet have a better method so for the tie being they will determine our future unfortunately.


I sat the UKCAT (twice), GMSAT, and the BMAT.


BMAT and GAMSAT you can actually revise for and are similar to uni/school exam style.
UKCAT is a total fluke.
The end.
