Sorry to hear that. Your first step should be to contact the universities to ask for feedback on your rejection. That way, you can find out what areas of your application you can improve upon (possibly during a gap year) before considering doing an undergraduate degree in something that you might not enjoy.

You shouldn't reapply to any uni course that has rejected you post-interview as you will get straight rejection, this may also include Bradford clinical sciences course but it is worth ringing them to inquire about your second application. Since you got two medicine interviews, it means that your application is good but you should improve your interview skills, so worth taking a gap year and reapply to medicine if you achieve the grades in August.

Sorry forgot to add, 2 of my rejections were post interview so I think it's my interview skills. Also, NONE of the unis fi
Give feedback
Thanks again

Thanks very much. I think a gap year it is then! After thinking long and hard about it!

That is something that can be worked on.



Good luck next year.

I wouldn't apply as a graduate unless you were happy continuing to work in the subject area of your first degree. Graduate entry is tough - if you really want to do medicine I would take a gap year to build up confidence - it definitely helped for me.

Thanks so much. are you a medic?

I got an offer this time, so I will be as long as I get the grades I need on Thursday!

Take a year out. You have years ahead of you to study medicine. I live with two 22 year olds who are first year medics and applied every year from leaving college! I myself am 20 and I'm still looking for the perfect time to start my career in medicine. If its meant to be its meant to be! Get a job as a HCA in your year out, do LOADS of voluntary work and really make your application stand out.

You'll be fine!
