Nottingham Medicine Applicants 2011

Notts seems really underrepresented on TSR for some reason.

Top tip kids: collect up contact details for all of your work experience now, it will save you time and panic later.

Hey!
I'm applying to Nottingham too ...I've already been to their open day and the campus is AMAZING

I noticed that =S don't seem to be nearly as many as other med schools
Hahaha thanks though I'll get on it when I see them next!
As far as I know they take everything into account when choosing interviewees yes?



Really? I'm going next week friday can't wait!!

When you've applied, they will send you an email with an online questionnaire to fill it. To the best of my knowledge, they are the only med school that does this, and you have to put contact details and a description of each bit of work exp/volunteering you've done, before answering some questions. I don't think this is hugely important in terms of the application as a whole, but you do need to put more than 15 minutes into it.

They do take everything into account; UKCAT components are marked individually and put alongside your top 8 GCSE grades, PS and questionnaire, then the top 800 applicants get an interview (of whom, for my cohort at least, more than half get an offer.) But you've probably already read this information.

You will LOVE it

I think I've heard that Nottingham ask for proof, or contacts for work experience, which other universities ask for all of this?

Thanks for clearing that up... I knew they did something like that but you've properly cleared it up for me thanks for that

Grrrr sooo nervous though, I THINK I've chosen wisely in terms of academics and stuff and I've got a crate load of work experience that I've learnt a lot from but, somehow it just NEVER seems like enough

Quality, not quantity, my lad. I only had 3 weeks.

Sorry, I didn't mean not enough WEX... By not enough I meant not enough of generally as in grades/decent ukcat/working your ass off on your ps etc... As in medicine is so competitive that not enough all those things plus choosing places wisely guarantees you a place

Hopefully I can't wait to go!

Mind me asking your grades/UKCAT and where else you're thinking of?

(mine are in my sig)
