No you'll be straight laughed at by the admissions team :lolwut:

only joking of course :tongue:

we kinda need more info than that - I take it you've just finished GCSEs? What are you hoping to study at A-level? A-level grades + UKCat + Personal Statement all play a roll in Barts admissions, but so far those are some pretty solid GCSEs I think, not sure if Barts have specific requirements in specific GCSEs, other people in this thread are probably more knowledgeable than I am

To date, GCSEs haven't played any major role in BATL's interview selection criteria.

With the new system AFAIK you should be fine :yep:

Check the minimum requirements on the medical schools website to be sure but you should be fine imo :yep:

(well for GCSEs at least :tongue:

Great post, truly fantastic. How about you use some initiative (very prized amongst admissions tutors), collect some data (look at other posts from people/wiki/use the search function) and synthesise your own opinion (also key qualities for a med student)?

Well I'm sure you have to bring it on enrollment but other than that I don't think you need to do anything to be honest :h:

No worries, just make sure to have a good look through the sticky posts and medicine wiki, and obviously each medical school's up to date minimum grade requirements,

THEN..

You may ask some sensible questions on here :h:

Ah right that makes sense..

Not sure whether to go to the tables thing and the beach volleyball night. If I do then might as well get the pass but if I don't it's saving £8 which could be spent on booze :holmes:
