Guys do you know whether Exeter accept resit applicants? I sent them an email and they replied with this:

To study BM,BS Medicine at Exeter for 2013 entry we would typically require A*AA-AAA at A Level. We would specifically require A Level Chemistry and either Biology or Physics. Biology must be achieved at a minimum of Grade C at AS Level if not studied at A Level. Four subjects must be studied at AS Level. General Studies would not be included in any offer. For further details please follow these links:

If you are classified as a direct school leaver, the University of Exeter Medical School uses the UKCAT as a factor in determining which candidates are selected for interview, along with predicted or achieved grades and other information contained within an applicant’s UCAS form. Applicants are advised to visit the UKCAT website. We would advise that an applicant follows the deadlines provided on the UKCAT website. For further details please follow this link: http://www.ukcat.ac.uk/

I can advise that we would not discriminate regarding retakes for any of our programmes, (as long as they are completed no more than two full academic years (September to August) before starting on the university programme. We would advise that applicants would have to simply make it clear on the UCAS application form when they apply, what they have completed and what they are due to complete).

I am confused on the last paragraph.

You have to have done the retakes within two years of starting the course.

You can apply with retakes pending. What are you resitting? When I applied, they only accepted my application as I was only retaking modules from two subjects not three. Ideally If you got a B first time round, resitting and applying would be fine.

When you fill out your UCAS form, put the grades you have and then add the subjects you are retaking again, enter the AS grade and leave it as pending. This way you can be predicted a grade for that subject.

I think I'm applying :biggrin:

Question: you have to declare that you've re-sat a module, right? So what if I re-sat an A in core 1 and got a higher A, do I have to put two core 1s with As?

Depends on who you ask, I've personally sent a letter to UCAS to clarify this because on the site it says you do have to declare it on one bit and then it says you dont on another. Silly UCAS!

Talk to your college though, I'm personally looking at having a few remarked and leaving the grades as pending so yeah its difficult because the advice is varied and not even UCAS seems to be decided. :tongue:

You do not have to declare it, as it was not Cashed-In. You only have to declare qualifications which were cashed.

You can just put the modules which will be going towards the qualification.
