You can't transfer medical schools in the UK, unfortunately. I know of one person who managed to transfer to a different uni but they had very exceptional circumstances.

It was one of the London unis; I think UCL. The person in question did extremely well academically though.,

since ucl pass rate is 40%, which I got higher than 40% but my pass rate is 50% that I was close to but didnt get, do I have a shot at sending them my EC


I strongly suspect not.

I understand not ucl. does anyone know if any med skl (in the uk) will accept my ec and allow me to transfer. im feeling rlly lost and alone in this
I don't think linked med schools even accept transfers. I tried changing from leicester to aston, despite having medical circumstances, and they said no,

unfortunately yes and im finding it rlly hard to know what to do next
Apparently, a relative of my friend transferred from Imperial to St Georges after suffering from very bad mental health circumstances due to the course. I'm not sure if this is fully true since as ecolier mentioned med schools are filled to the brim. also this was ages ago I think

id advise talking to your personal tutor about this since they can probably aid you further? so sorry to hear xx

I'm pretty sure (at least some) med schools have it in their admission criteria.
