Official Thread: (Undergraduate) Medicine 2019 Entry

I am fully aware that there is still over a year till we apply, but I just wanted to see if there are any like-minded people that will be hopefully applying to Med School next year for 2019 entry? :smile:

yerrrp - Pretty sure i've got low AS results, and already have below par GCSE's. Definitely looking at a gap year and 2019 entry.
I am but it's for GEM so I'm not sure if it counts :colondollar:
i am hopefully GCSE results and a levels will go well
That's great! How are you guys preparing for the application? :smile:
I just got my O Level results because I lived in Pakistan for the last 3 years. Back in Manchester now. I got 2A*5A1B. A* in English Lang and Maths and A in sciences and compsci and Pakistan Studies. I'm giving 2 other subjects in October since 8 subjects is nowhere near enough for medicine here and I'll be resitting Islamiat which I got a B in. Hopefully will bring my stats up to 3A*7A. Do you think I'd have a chance with those grades?

Hi, I'm applying for 2019 entry too, however through access to medicine from Manchester( and ive checked which unis accept this :biggrin: ). Just need to resit maths GCSE to get it on par with the rest. To prepare i' aiming to volunteer in GHANA as a schoolteacher, at a primary school or around 6 weeks. And then volunteer again in Zanzibar at an hospital shadowing doctors for 2 weeks. And of-course volunteering at a hospital and GP ( hopefully), and maybe home-cares. Should i do more? Slightly worried though, as I've got to it all this around working, and studying to resit my maths, and preparing for UKCAT/BMAT, and o-course applying lol.Speaking of which hows everyone preparing for the UKCAT/BMAT?

I really don't think anyone for 2019 entry should be preparing for BMAT/UKCAT now. I have just started light prep for BMAT now and I'm 2018 entry. And your volunteering/ work experience is more than enough.

Hi,

Well yes you're right in saying that. And I guess my post implies that Ive began my preping for the admission tests. Which isn't that case, as I haven't even bought the resources. I was just curious as to how everyone else will be preparing for them. But I guess it could have been worded better. May I just ask how are you preparing for the BMAT

Anyone happen to know if the GAMSAT is a requirement for all Universities for graduate entry medicine?
Thanks!

No it's only a requirement for the universities that ask for it.

Just don't want others to worry like I did after GCSEs about admission tests even though they would be like more than a year away. I've started making physics notes because I can't remember a thing from GCSE physics. Soon I'm going to be using questions from the 700q bmat book,questions from bmat ninja (though I'm not sure if it going to be same as past questions), tsa and bmat past papers. I'm aiming to write as many essays as possible because that is going to be my weak point. This is all spread out until November so I'm not cramming and doing just enough each day.

How long ago was it since you'd done GCSE physics? Overall it sounds like a good plan. I'm planning on buying the GCP GCSE Bio, chem, and physics books, and slowly go over everything. As it has been a while since i'd sat those exams.

omg! I also live in Pakistan. I also started a threadasking people if I have a chance. To be honest I think we have a chance. My subject choice for A levels is biology chemistry physics maths and sociology. I will drop sociology in A2. I believe we need all A* in A levels to be strong applicants.

Holy crap that's so cool. I can only give 4 subjects in the school I'm in now but where do you live?
