i'm on the same boat can someone answer this? - do i need a DofE certificate?


I gave them a copy of mine, they didn't say anything so I assume they accepted it as a document. I would take it if I was you! :smile:

I took with me my: gcse results, AS results, DofE certificate, NCS certificate, all the work exp references and finally the documents we have to fill out.

Nothing else (and of course organised into two envelopes in the way they require it as mentioned in one of the booklets they sent in the interview email).

You just need one copy of everything and the original, separated into the appropriate envelopes.

Normal
are there any decent close by hotels that you guys could recommend?
Thinking of applying for the GEP at St George's for either 2016 or 2017 entry.

Is it true they interview everyone that satisfies the minimum entry requirements including GAMSAT scores? If so does that mean the overall acceptance rate is incredibly small?

What sort of work experience will they be looking for? I did voluntary work at a local hospice for more than ten years before moving away for postgraduate study.

I'm a mature student so would I be considered "too old" to obtain work experience at a local hospital etc? A family friend of mine is a GP and my own GP has kindly agreed to let me shadow him once I return to the UK. I'm currently based in the US. Would any sort of voluntary work here be considered relevant?

How long should I spend studying for the GAMSAT?

Really keen on St George's given its history and location. Rugby team isn't too bad either.

I know for undergrad they interview everyone who meets the minimum, it might be the same for post grad. I don't think you will be considered too old, your age should not be a problem - just speak to your local hospital for work experience. I think any work experience in a caring environment is good - have you considered care homes?
Your voluntary work in the US will be relevant, as because it will be different to things people have done here, it should be good to talk about at your interview.
Hope this is helpful!
