Seriously!? :shock: They're charging you £41 to write a couple of dates down on a bit of paper? I'd go to a different GP if I were you... :s-smilie:

Yea I think it is quite unreasonable to charge that. They said the service is is not included in the NHS :frown: oh well, as long as I can get into UCL, none of this is a problem :biggrin:

Btw, is anyone else getting charged by their GP centre for filling out the health questionnaire?

Hi guys, has anyone tried sending in their fee questionnaire? I sent mine to The Faculty of Medical Sciences, but it came back with a 'insufficient address'. Any help would be much appreciated! Also, when do you find out if they have assessed you?

No, my GP was very happy to do it for me, for free.

Ahh, that makes sense! I support two teams - Santos (from Brazil) and Arsenal, though at present I wish I didn't support any of them :s-smilie: As a Barça fan, you might know Santos as a)Neymar's former team and b)The team whose ass was kicked by Barça in the 2011 club world cup. What other teams do you support? I ask because, as you might guess, I really dislike Barcelona haha.
Needless to say, I'm from Brazil! Are you from the UK then?


Haha fair enough, Santos did really well to get to the final in the first place- they're a great team! Neymar is also one awesome player and it's cool that you support the team where he learnt his trade. :biggrin:
I also like Arsenal- mainly because of their style because they haven't won anything in 8 years :tongue: Hopefully that will change soon though.
My other main club is Nottingham Forest- they play in the second division of English football and they used to be really good in the late 70s/early 80s (we won 2 European Cups) but now it's all about getting back into the Premier League! :rolleyes:

That's really cool that you're from Brazil- it's also really brave of you to come so far to study but then the independence that it will bring can be just as important in Medicine as teamwork! It's also one of the main reasons I applied to UCL- there are so many different nationalities and cultures represented in the student body- it make the place more cosmopolitan and dynamic I think.

Oh I forget to say, yeah I'm from the UK (family's from India though).
So did you do the A levels in Brazil or was it an equivalent?
Is it weird that UCL have still not rejected me or given me a interview?

Well, we have a great history haha! Neymar will soon be one of the world's best imo; here in Brazil he's our main hope for the world cup!
Hopefully we will be able to win the FA cup this year :redface: Congrats on beating City btw - they're a great team! I think semis should once again feature Barca, Real and Bayern, depending on the draw; still undecided on the 4th team though! Perhaps PSG...
The second division of english football is lightyears ahead of Brazil's first division :tongue: You can't even imagine atrocity that is a second division game here!
Thanks! I'm pretty scared but also really excited - everyone seemed lovely and I have no doubt I'll have a good experience :smile: London as a whole is very cosmopolitan, so it should be easy to fit in! Which region are you from?
I took the IB diploma! Most international schools offer it here! I assume you took A levels? I'm afraid I don't know a lot about them, but from what I hear they are quite similar, content-wise, to the IB.
