Barts and the London Applicants 2011

Don't be fooled into thinking this man has the power to punish you, he was cannon fodder last year.

Brilliant! See you then!

Oh, and apparently the incoming freshers here at Barts consists of 87% grads on the standard 5 year course! Apparently that's because the grads wanted to miss the increased fees from 2012 entry. Now, that's not a turn in the right direction IMO. I would not like to be a school leaver with that many grads in my year. Don't get me wrong, I quite like the grads on our course and tbh, most of my friends here are grads, but it's also nice to start your degree with a vast majority of people who this is also new to, not people who've done it all before. And i thought 60% grads on the 5 year course in the year below me was tough on school leavers! Hmmm. We have like 40% in our year iirc. Soon, the 5 year course will eventually become a prolonged Grad Entry Programme...

Also, sorry for the triple post. It's well dodgy multi quoting on my phone. :s

Sorry, I just saw this on the current med students thread. Is that statistic right? 87% of our year are grads it is just that seems a hell of a lot. I'm all for grads being on the 5 year course but 87% seems absolutely rediculous to be honest.

Just the figure I have heard being thrown around. Could be very wrong....

FWIW to those people moaning about 87% graduates, when I spoke to admissions about the new policy they mentioned that at interview roughly 1/8th were graduates.

Whether this means they prefer graduates I don't know. What I do know is that we must have done well to get on the course and I think that's worth thinking about.

That and us undergrads are going to feel a hell of a lot richer than those with a degree already.

In 8 days let the boozing commence!

I do hope so, I really don't want to be 1 of let's say 30 odd people coming from school

Yeh which means 7/8ths weren't graduates. So clearly undergrads suck at interviewing

Not long now, never thought this gap year would end

Yeah pretty much.... that and we are clearly awesome at interviews


Still in denial tbh.. forget that in a week we move in and become proper freshers.....

Mummies and Daddies on Saturday. Fafthelibrarian and I will be helping people move into Dawson! Exciting!
