Graduate Entry Medicine 2017

Hi, I'm really keen to improve my application when I apply next year. Currently doing a Biomed undergrad.

If anyone sees this, can you please post your stats? Where applied to, what grades you have (degrees, A-Levels), entrance exam scores and extracurriculars/volunteering/jobs you've done so far. It would really help me as I feel I don't have enough experience at all. I might post this a couple times here so more people see it or might start a thread.

Thank you and I hope you're having a lovely Christmas/New Year!

Hey

So, this is aimed at people who will have graduated by 2017 in their first second third etc degree and want to be studying medicine by September 2017 or 2018 depending on when you decide to apply whether you're doing a 3/4 year course.

My stats are on my profile!

I thought we could encourage each other keep each other aware of news and just be a community for future medics.

If this thread already exists then sorry!!

Hey guys so I'm currently in my second year of biomedical science. I have attained a first in my first year and on my way to achieve a 1st in the second year. Please can anyone walk me through the major or basic things that I have to do from now till the deadline on the 15th of October. So basically I want to apply to kcl, qmu and Warwick and they all accept ukcat. I have 2 weeks of work experience lined up in June at a hospital nearby. Alevels are not considered by these universities so they don't matter. I am going to book the ukcat exam in June and hopefully achieve a really high score. Can I also apply to graduate entry dentistry or is that pushing a little. Any info will be appreciated thanks.

I want to join a university for my undergraduate medicine course.
I am currently doing my A2 studies and had completed my AS with 4 A's.
Any chance for me to get a scholarship ?

i really didnt expect to get this far and now im panicking haha

There have been a number of GEM interviews given out today. Someone did say that they had spoken to admissions and interviews will be given out this week and in January.

I have had an interview offer for Birmingham GEM since 24th November.

Hey guys, serious question for those applying to a100

I have good stats and I know I qualify for a100 but I can't afford the 9000 pound a year (or more!!!) Tuition fee issue. It would be another 2 years a so of me living at home and working before I could.

Do any of you know of help or anything? Or are you all just fortunate/hard workers ?

Thanks guys

Yes I am a graduate which is why I would try for advice on this thread. I have applied to a101 twice now but unfortunately my entrance exam marks aren't good enough, English being my downfall for both exams. However my ukcat (687) is good enough for a100 so I just feel like I am in an awkward limbo at the moment.

I am resitting the gamsat in march so here is to third time lucky!

I was just after advice from those who have applied to a 100 though on how they have gone about it. For example which banks do do loans and is it actually worth it ie the long term interest effects

Just trying to pull out all the stops haha

I want to apply for the 2019 entry, which is when I'll finish my undergraduate studies. I have totally an arts background (currently undertaking a History degree @ the LSE), so I don't know where my application would stand. I'm kind of a flop at maths and science lol.

Do I have to retake my GCSE maths and sciences and then do an A Level on the side btw?

I'm considering withdrawing from my current course because I hate it. I don't think it would have an impact on potential offers as I already have a BSc and MSc and my current course is a PGCert in a subject not related to medicine. I have three interviews so I'm assuming my academics are fine. I am just really worried that if I withdraw from the course med schools will have an issue with it. Any advice?

i assume they gave you interviews based on your bsc and msc only so its very unlikely any uni would have an issue. wouldnt hurt to clarify with admissions just to stay on the safe side though?

are you a graduate applying for a100 medicine? i think most people here will be applying to a101 only for the nhs bursary and second student loan. the few who go onto a100 seems to either have worked for some time and have savings, or taken out loans from families or bank/loan companies. have you considered trying to get into an a101 programme instead? If youre not a graduate and applying for a100 i think a better thread to seek advice is the A100 thread. In this case Im pretty sure youll be entitled to student loans as it will be your first degree.

Any pharmacist/pharmacy student that has applied for GEM? Be very nice to hear from some of you guys.

hi,
I am doing pre-registration training at the moment. I did apply for GEM- got 2 rejections so far. how about you?
