2014 Medicine Re-Applicants

Being re-applicants, I'm pretty sure most of you would have already achieved the required grades. So do all of you with offers, have UCAS Track show an "unconditional offer"? or did it change to unconditional after completing and sending them the health forms & criminal checks etc.?

It's unconditional for us.

What does it say on your track?

It depends on how the uni puts it through mine was unconditional and then it has like a section regarding health checks but i know some say conditional and on the conditions is only states health checks

It says unconditional. If you firm, it will automatically be confirmed. The term"unconditional" usually refers to the academics..

For me it says "conditional" even though my A-level grades are A*AA




the conditions of the offer are: depended on A-level results and satisfactory health and police checks - according to UCAS Track



It says conditional for me though.

Hmm, that is unusual. Have you entered your A-levels as 2013? If yes, then I would assume the condition is simply based on non-academic grounds .i.e. health, DBS/CRB checks, vaccinations etc. I would still contact their admissions office to rectify this. Which medical school has given you the 'conditional' offer?

Hmm I think they only mean those checks for the condition. My friend who is a reapplicant with the grades also has a "conditional" offer. It's St George's University of London.
Yeah, might contact them just to make sure everything is correct.

Don't sweat it mate, my offers were a mix of conditional and unconditional even though I have the grades, the conditional one is for health checks, so you're definitely not alone in that boat. Just don't get into police trouble over the summer

So who did you put down as your reference? my teachers aren't going to know me or understand how i've developed over the past year are they?

Hi guys what is the max no of hours you are allowed to work per week ?

Given our understanding of space and time, it is only possible to work a maximum of 168 hours a week. But then again, what do I know? I don't even study physics.

Tends to be 40. However in some jobs you might sign something saying you're accepting you might have to work longer.

When the MMS thing happened for junior doctors though, it was meant to be like: junior doctors are working too many long hours (some as long as 80-100) and as a result are becoming fatigued and are prone to making more mistakes. SO: we, the government, will put in a place a limit of 40 hours a week max.

What happened instead was: the junior doctors continued having to work 80-100 hours a week but are now only getting paid for 40. They stay as long as they do because they don't want anyone to die and quite frankly, i've seen those poor souls still there on a daily basis at 10pm when they were due to finish at 6pm.

Cool, where would you recommend someone to work in their gap year?

Hopefully this won't happen but what if you mess up your grades and for example get AAB, is there no chance for undergraduate medicine?
