Nottingham A100 2015 Entry

I couldn't find it either....
Also, would you recommend catered or self catered as a medic?

Just got an email from Nottingham... got so excited, really annoyed that it was just another update email I wish Nottingham and Bristol would just make their bloody minds up!

What did they say?

Dear applicant,
We appreciate how difficult it can be waiting on results from your interviews and are very grateful for your patience. We have released a handful of offers with the majority being given out in April after all interviews have been completed.

Then there was a link to a video about how good nottingham is

Dilemma choosing between Bristol and Nottingham...anyone else got this problem?

Dilemma choosing between Bristol and Nottingham...anyone else got this problem?

If I were in your postion, I'd choose Bristol without a seconds thought, seeing as it's regularly voted the nicest city to live in in the UK. It also has a higher satisfaction rate, lower staff:student ratio, and is more internationally renowned and has a better reputation. Also, going to the competitive medical school in the UK and fighting off 5,000 other people for your place is an incredible achievement, and something people will know if you go to Bristol.

it's up to you at the end of day, and which 'feels' right

all nice and cool but guys please remember that at the end of the day it DOESNT matter which med school you attended. You all gonna be employed, all gonna be doctor and noone will actually care if you finished Bristol, Birmingham or Plymouth. The only thing that varies between med schools is course structure and you really should look at that. But don't bother looking at academic research etc cause as future doctors, noone will look at that either. After all its all down to how well you do in finals and to which hospital you go for your F1 and F2….and even then I dont think it matters that much unless you are going for the next Nobel prize :P

I think the most important single factor is the location/feel/area of the university itself. These days, the GMC dictates the curriculum. Yes teaching style matters, but you're still going to learn the exact same stuff at Bristol at the end of the 5 years as you learn at Nottingham. The university itself matters, in my opinion anyway, because that's where you're going to spend the next 5 years of your life. 5 years is a long time- it's the same length as your entire secondary education. Your environment will not influence how enjoyable the next 5 years of your life are, but will also shape you as a person. If you're unhappy at university, you're not going to learn as much and your attitude towards your career path will be reflected later on in your career.

Obviously, I'm not the medical student here, so I'm probably talking absolute rubbish here, but just choose the one you think you'll be happiest at.

I didn't get the email. Should I be worried?

Don't know whether to withdraw my application or not. Notts would be my back up and they wouldn't give me a lower offer than bsms

I will PM it to you in a second.
And its up to you what you prefer in terms of halls.

I assume you are a med student at Nottingham (if not then I apologise) I was just wondering if you know how lenient Nottingham are with grades? E.g. if you performed really well at interview would that have any effect on the grades you get on results day? Have they ever accepted A*AB or AAB for example. Thanks
