Glasgow Medicine Applicants 2011

A2?
i turn 18 like a week before... which is pretty good timing ha, if they're nice enough to hit me with an offer of course

I meant are you in college? final year? I'm on a gap year

alright lol, it's my last year of school yeh, can't wait to get away ha

I've been waiting to get away for 3 years Can't actually wait this time! whatever happens , i'm going to go nuts lol. So when's your birthday?

3 years? i doubt i could stand that much time up here lol. august, that's pretty close to when it starts up isn't it? :/

Pretty much since high school, same here ...I wouldn't tell girls tho

haha, of course not, they don't need to know

I just might be 21 lol, but a lot of the girls in my year would jst be a little younger so that's fine , like older girls tho but i don't discriminate

fair do's, just take it as it comes ha

A bit, but I think I'll try and get a place in med school before I worry about it too much. This sounds bad, but as a single mum I'll be entitled to a lot more financial help in any case. Plus, my parents want me to be a doctor and they help support me and I have a job which makes things a little easier (they are quite happy for me to increase and decrease my hours according to my availability).

My opinion? If you really want to be a doctor, worry about getting a place first and the fees second. In all honesty, I don't really care how much debt I have to get into (and I hate debt) to do this, so if I have to take out a loan loan, that's what I'll do.

But I am pretty pissed off that this has been pounced on me during this cycle, AFTER I've applied with the idea in mind that I would only be paying around £3000. A lot of graduates who have to pay for the full shebang and who are fairly unsupported are going to find £15000-£16500 (plus £2000 graduation fee) a lot more than the £6500-£9000 or so they expected to pay. I don't think we can see ourselves as in the exact situation as them. I can't see why they can't just postpone it a year to allow people time to prepare for it, and why have they not announced it? Or graduated the levy by 25% a year, giving them more time to get their finances sorted? Now that: that is ridiculous.

At Glasgow University doing English Literature...

Have you had an interview for glasgow yet? What questions did they ask about your previous course? Did you feel discriminated against at all?

Also, why did you leave your course previously? Sorry for the question, but this is a sticky point for me.

Not sure why I got neged for this.

i got negged for a recent post

There is not currently a "graduation fee" in scotland.

i got negged for a recent post

so did i?!

Haha, haters the person had no rep power anyway, maybe it's someone with no interview

i dont understand the whole 'rep power' thing anyway. i just give thumbs up whenever!

Haha, it's better not to get too involved , you have 1 green gem so people get a +1 when you rep them Beska has 6 so people get 6 points, it's all silly really and just ways to get you addicted
