I think it's probably a bit early for a thread specifically aimed at GEM 2015. Try the general GEM thread(s). :tongue:

Thanks lol and yh I will hopefully be doing that.
Does anyone know and an tell me more about UKCAT and BMAT please. I don't quite understand what the difference is apart from the fact one is computer based and the other is a written 2hour exam. Do you have to do both?

Different unis and different courses (ie regular 5 or 6 year Medicine and GEM) require different tests. You need to do whichever the unis you apply to require. You can find out all about both tests by googling them, or by searching this forum.
I dont know much about the extended project qualification but is it good to do this and base it around a medical related topic or not?

Can I just ask how you managed to get shadowing experience? (I study English and I am really struggling to get anyone to take me seriously!)
I'm currently studying BSc Hons Speech and Language Therapy. I am considering applying for Medecine thjs
Wait I just realised that GEM means that everyone here is already at uni? I guess I am in the wrong thread because I am still at school

I told you it was Graduate Entry Medicine - you have to already be a graduate to start on it. :tongue:

Hey :smile: Have you tried applying to hospitals for stuff like voluntary work? Most of them have application forms that you fill in on their websites. They'd have to take you seriously since you're applying for a role!

I know that you told me but I didn't actually realise until know what you meant.
