Plymouth A102 2020 Entry

Hi guys,

I’ve applied to this course. If anyone here live in Plymouth or have been to Plymouth can you please tell me about the city. Last thing I want is to be stuck in a place I don’t like for 6 years.

Thank you.

You only need to send it for Free school meals/16-18 bursary as that's something that isn't stated on your UCAS application

Ask your school to provide you with a letter to prove you receive bursary or free school meals, scan it and send to them. They decide who to call for an interview based on the contextual indicators, how many do you meet?

I believe that they interview everyone who meets the entry requirements, so, therefore, do not then use GCSE grades and personal statements to create a cut-off score for interview.

wouldn’t that be more competitive?

Common sense would say so, especially given the fact that they do not require UCAT or high GCSE grades, so applicants who have bad scores will be flocking to this course.

oh damn 😳

Does anyone know if Plymouth Medicine Foundation Year accept GCSE resits
*I've emailed them but they are not getting back to me*

As on UCAS when inputting your qualifications you have to list them all including ones you have failed. If you have the same qualification twice on different dates then it is clearly a resit.

oh my school only told me to put my highest grade gcses and not resits. I dont think it would affect how they may perceive your GCSEs, i think they’ll just look at your highest grades if you have put your resits :smile:
