Newcastle University A100 2022 Entry

Guys I would recommend not to go to Newcastle medical school. We have zero teaching, literally one of the worst experiences of my life.

Hii anyone thinking of applying with partners or non partners?

omg individual threads already?? now i am panicking this is all becoming too real

i think any medical school would be a privilege to go to and I think Newcastle is fantastic so I'm not sure why u think that?

So do u think that all individuals have to think just like u or universally and I don't have a right to have my opinion ? Interesting view ...

haha yes earlier the bteer and yes im hoping to do partners too !! hopefully we can all help each other so please pop down any questions here !! : )

What's applying with partners? Im guessing you dont mean applying with your bf?
(Tho if you do fair enough)

in summary if you meet certain widening participation criteria, you can take part in this programme to get a reduced offer of up to 3 grades lower than the standard offer (so for example BBB), and also ucat threshold is lower. you have to take part in their summer school in y13 in order to be eligible and firm them

no that not what i mean haha its explained below by dinomedic

It feels real now that this thread has been created 😊. Thank you @ecolier.
I just wanted to ask are students who apply with PARTNERS and those who will come complete and apply with the Sutton trust pathways to medicine Newcastle competing against each other? (I’ve previously heard in some other thread that PARTNER applicants compete against each other rather than non contextual applicants?)
Also does doing a Sutton trust pathways to medicine allow you to apply contextually to other unis who are also running the programme? (I don’t think so but I just want to make sure )

Tysm

hi im interested in partners too!! so do u meet the criteria? also im not sure about sutton trust and i dont know if only partners compete with each othehr??

Yeah i meet the criteria but I’m also doing the pathways to medicine Newcastle so I was wondering if I also have to apply to PARTNERS.
Read the partners website page but couldn’t find much out about the selection process exactly but (I could be mistaken) I read on the A100 Newcastle 2021 thread that contextual applications compete with each other instead of non contextual?? (Can’t find the exact quote) I mean it doesn’t change anything but I was just wondering if it was true.

yeh im not sure if we compete against each other but oh well lol. also what pathway is it for medicine in newcastle.?

Pathways to medicine Newcastle is a programme by Sutton Trust that helps with the applications. They offer sessions on how to reflect,write personal statements etc. They also put you through a mentor at Newcastle and run a summer school + work experience. Completion of the programme can lower your entry grades for Newcastle to BBB and lower UCAT threshold such like PARTNERS.

so r u applying to both i think u can only apply to one summer school like u cant do parters and sutton trust.
