medicine

you know you get to put 4 medical schools down, and for the remaining two, what courses can you apply for? Surely you cannot put something like physics?

something like biomedical sciences, medical sciences, pharmacy..

actually..anything. since the uni can't see what else you've applied for..

i know unis are not supposed to know what you have applied for, but I have heard that they actually know, even the names of other unis you applied to.

The spare course choices can be used to apply for anything - whether it is related to medicine or not, however its probably best to choose one similar courses so that it fits in with whatever you have written in your personal statement. I decided to leave the 2 extra course choices blank, as if I haden't got in, I was planning to reapply the following year, rather than just doing another course.

That's a good idea, UCAS also allow you to add the remaining two to your original 4 choices later on.This is especially useful if you don't get many offers. It gives you a bit of a breathing space to research any other courses like Medical Physics.
Not sure whether you can add another 2 med schools if you get rejected from the first 4... perhaps someone else might know.

You know how you are only aloud four for medicine/dentistry & veterinary, what if you choose four of one and two of the other.

e.g. 4 for veterinary and 2 for medicine

Is this allowed?

Also if your PS isn't going to be aimed towards a certain course can you not ask the university if they will accept a separate PS for that course?

anything that is related to the personal statement

my two other ones were neuroscience/psychology & neuroscience/history so only a tenuous link! & i used the same PS.. i suppose it depends what your grades/subjects are like & how popular their course is, but i got offers for both of those as well!

No - you're only allowed a total of 4 courses for medicine or vetinary or dentistry or a mix...

As yes - most unis will accept supporting information. Plenty of med applicants I know wrote separate PS for their other two courses and sent them directly to the uni. Make sure your UCAS number is on the additional PS though.....

Its definately not a good idea to put down a combination of vetinary, dentistry and medicine, - otherwise it will make personal statment writing a nightmare, - and if they suspect that you've applied to different professions they will assume you aren't dedicated and may not get an interview.

agreed, you CANNOT have two dentistry, two med lol your ucas statement would look JIPPED
