Southampton BM6 Applicants 2010 Entry

yeh me too. I love southampton and the 6 year course generally. After speaking to some students its only made me like it more!
have you got that form yet? x

yep...received it a few days back.
I need to take it to the school to get the last bit of it done.
What about you?

yeh I;ve got mine too. I was really stressing about it being half term and on the letter it says it needs to be back to them within 2 weeks of the date on the letter which meant mine needed to be back a week today!
I emailed my school and luckily I was able to go in today and get it signed. So hopefully send it asap, I;m just not sure what evidence I am sending them for the two criteria :s

The course code was b940 right?

ohh yes, they also ask evidence It says that if the evidence is insufficient they'll send it back, which will make the application process even longer and may lead to an unsuccessful application.

I am gonna send everything I can find so that they are more than happy with the evidence.

are you sending the real thing or photo copies? I rang up and they said photocopies are fine. x

The course code for the BM6 course is A102. B940 is the course code for biomedical sciences.

What's bm6 then?

I know it's too late to apply, but it would've been possible to apply with ABBC (sciences and maths), right? also do they accept re-sit candidates; 1st time ABBC, predicted As.
Thanks

Hi SomeStudent, I think you may potentially find the subsequent quote useful: "3.12 Retake Policy All qualifications must be taken at one sitting for all programmes. Applicants who have retaken one A level and/or one GCSE (or equivalent) will be considered as if they had achieved the appropriate grade at the first sitting. Applicants retaking more than one A level or GCSE will be considered provided there were exceptional circumstances related to the first sitting. If accepted, the offer would be the same as the standard offer for the appropriate programme."

Thank you... I probably should've applied

Hi CJ, does that apply to all medical schools or is it from a particular one? As I am planning on resitting two GCSE.

BM6 is A102. Did you mean to apply to BM6 but put the biomed science code down? If you're concerned, give UCAS a ring

EDIT: I'm not sure what you meant by what's BM6; whether you meant what the code is or what the actual course is. BM6 is a 'widening access' 6 year medical degree.

That made me a bit sick
Not sure I understand though, am I not allowed to re-sit some AS modules in January? My AS grades pass the CCC threshold but keeping them like that would basically be putting 'all my eggs in one basket' no matter how desperate I am to go to Southampton.
Is anyone else doing re-sits for AS modules?
