Lancaster Medicine Applicants 2013

Do Lancaster consider students resitting AS modules?

I am resitting a couple of my modules from year 12

I will have completed my A-Levels within two years
Also do I have to put resits (as pending) on my UCAS form?

has anyone received an email from liverpool uni saying that the GMC are considering the independence from liverpool university and that there decision will be made after the medicine ucas deadline? if yes then what happens if the GMC reject the splitting up of liverpool medicine and lancaster medicine?

I got the same email too, I phoned Lancaster to ask. No answer...then I realised it's Saturday. I phoned the GMC to ask as well but they said they will have to ask their education adviser who only works Monday-Friday. I guess we'll just have to wait till Monday and phone up to ask, then if they say no we won't carry it on, it's rejected, we just have to have lay a chance card on the table. Eurghhh, this has worried me now, I don't want to waste an application.

I'm confused, why should this matter to your application? If the split doesn't go ahead, Lancaster will just continue to churn out doctors with degrees from the University of Liverpool.

I'm a big pessimist, so I was just worried in case The University of Liverpool turn around and say "Ha you didn't get independence, we don't want anything to do with you now". But no you're probably right, but still it's better to be certain of these things 'cause they haven't really said anything about what happens if it's rejected.

I'm 99.9% sure that wouldn't happen lol The reason they haven't said much about what happens if it is rejected is because
a) I think it's unlikely it'll be rejected
b)It will just carry on as normal. The medical school would not just risk a do or die situation
Obviously calling them would set your mind at ease so you only got to wait till Monday

I emailed about this a while ago, here's their response:
'If the GMC does not approve us to become independent the situation will stay as it is with the Liverpool degree programme being offered at Lancaster Medical School and the A105 course being run in Lancaster. If we become independent we will offer a Lancaster degree programme. If you wish to apply to both Liverpool and Lancaster this will take two of your choices.'

I'm a Lancaster re-applicant, hoping they see promise in me this time!

Me too! Best of luck

I am a Lancaster applicant too, I am very excited.

lets kick some life into this thread lol
