Just spoke the the admissions team - they said not to worry at all. As long as we've put down the number of hours for each role it's fine.

thank you so much! I am so sorry to have panicked You! It just popped into my head!

Does anyone know how much weighting is given to the number of hours in volunteering/work experience compared to the other aspects of the form?

I’ve applied with:
GCSE- 4A* 1A 4B
Predictions- A* A A
UKCAT- 637.5 Band 1
And in my opinion a strong R&R form

Do I have any chance to be interviewed?

P.S. my A* GCSEs were in the sciences and maths and at a notoriously poor school in manchester, don’t know if that makes them any better.

Hi guys, i'm a 1st year med student at Keele- just feels like i was in your position yesterday! If you have any questions about the course or the uni in general, i'll be more than happy to help- I know how nerve racking the unknown can be! Best of luck :smile:

End of Jan. I found the interview was quite relaxed and easy (this is coming from not the most confident person in the world!) however that being said some people I spoke to did find it more difficult.

That's great! hope you are enjoying med school! How are you finding it?
I am a graduate too, are there many graduates on the course? Did you included shadowing in your R&R form, I didn't as I thought they said it wouldn't contribute to hours or something like that.
My stats are very similar to yours, but 2.1 degree :smile:

I am absolutely loving it! Don't think its completely sunk in still lol. I wouldn't say the course is hard (so far) per se, its just a lot of content. You may be surprised to hear that around half or just over half my year are grads! I didn't think there would be that many!
With regards to the R&R form, I didn't included the reconstructive one, only the GP one as I wasn't shadowing there.

Nice to hear that you're enjoying it! I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but is the Maths test at Interview ranked or is it a just a singly-used test?(so if I were to get the pass mark, the test is no longer considered). Thanks.
