2014 Medicine Re-Applicants

Oh same here! That is true I guess, it just feels like everyone is getting incredible scores though! I'd be over the moon if I even managed to get above 750 in a sub test haha. But DA and AR seem really high this year and VR is so low!

I agree, we can do this!

I couldn't agree more about these crazy UKCAT scores I'm seeing. I don't want to believe them, but then at the same time I don't think most of them are lying?! Plus, I am certain I wasn't seeing as many 760 avg+ last year on the thread!

I had my driving theory today (passed woo!), and it was making me so nervous just seeing all these other UKCAT sitters!!

Hello,
Does anyone know of any Personal Statement books,services that might be useful

That's the thing, I can't believe how much it seems to have skyrocketed this year...just makes me wonder, if the national average is around 630 then some people must be getting lower scores to compensate! I'm just hoping it's not any of us!

Congrats on the driving theory, that really is something I need to get round to doing I'm starting this new job in 3 weeks and just realised I have no means of getting there at the right time unless I taxi or drive myself. I don't particularly see myself passing both driving tests within three weeks though! Do you know when you might be thinking of doing yours?




There's a really good PS helper service on this forum, I would link you but I'm on my iPod. If you look it up from the medicine wiki pages I'm sure you can find it there. It could take a week or so for you to get feedback though as I'm sure they must be getting very busy around now! You basically post your PS in a private thread that can only be seen by the helpers (who are all confirmed med students/medics) and can really help improve your PS.

Congrats!!! Moving on to the practical

Thanks Well I started lessons about 6 weeks ago, slowly at first, 2 hours / week, but since i've been paid last week, I have been doing about 8 hrs / week. Instructor thinks I'll be ready by end of October, but I really want to get it done and over with by the end of september :'). It's costing me a fortune (seriously, my whole wages are gone) and it's bloody hard. Plus, it's taking up valuable UKCAT time. As well as that, the goddamn test centre has a wait of 6 weeks - and that's the earliest in the city!

I am aware of that but is there any really good books?

Anybody started goin in on there personal statement?

Waking up early tomorrow and analysing it piece by piece.

Ps, are there any books for the PS? I know there is help on TSR but is there any other help?

With the Leeds and the UKCAT use (or any other university for that matter), even with their web policy...I know this sounds so obvious but just call them up tomorrow and ask. It should be a quiet time now post A level results. You'll feel a lot more reassured by taking 5 mins to do so than relying solely on TSR.

Ok we'll thanks for your help!
I will reaserch more into it.
Last question! You must be annoyed.
Which unis 'overlook' your GCSE grades if you have achieved your alevels?

Sorry I didn't reply to your message on my profile. I can't seem to login in from h computer (forgot my password and its no longer remembered on my computer lol) signed in from phone so couldn't.

How's the PS going? Completed yet? And work?

Hey everyone.

I just got my remark back and....it's actually gone down by 1 UMS So I've still got AAB.

So I'm sorry to say that I will unfortunately not be re-applying for med this year.

Starting research into the GEM programmes so we'll see how that goes. Thanks for all your support and help and I can't wait to see what the year brings for you all.

Ah no worries dude Glad to see you're still up and about! PS is going really well, more or less finished it now, trying to make sure its attuned to one of my choices (since the others don't really look at it). You done your UKCAT exam yet? I can't wait to send off my application and just get on with normal life and let time run its course. Work is another story...still trying to get something worthwhile, considering volunteering abroad but need to research more into it. How about you? Did your job interview go well? You decided on any med schools yet?

Hey guys,
I was wondering what extra-curricular activities should I write about and undertake?
I play Basketball with my friends at a court and it's really kind of an outlet to stress. How will I improve this and will unis ask me why you don't play for a club?
