Graduate Entry Medicine: 2016 Entry

Scroll to see replies

Guys, I am freaking out. Could anyone advise on 5 year courses for grads? Not lazy, just my head is a scribble with scrolling through entry requirements pages. I am well versed in GEM. I have managed to scrape together the funds for the 5 year course so I am going to put two of each type down if it's more likely I could get a place on the 5 year. My credentials, in a nutshell, are;

AS levels BDD in maths, physics and graphic design (Sigh)
MPhys Astrophysics 2.1
PhD Medical Sciences (Cancer research, multidisciplinary, submitting thesis soon with the viva planned for spring 2016)
More than enough volunteering and shadowing
Starting my Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Cancer Imaging in December
UKCAT...tba tomorrow...ha! Last minute, because thesis and conference season. I don't think I will do amazingly, though.

I have looked into Chem and Bio A2 levels, which is doable...but not ideal as my Post Doc is in New York and they don't have test centres there.

How about four year courses? E.g Warwick, Barts, Kings etc

Do you have the background to go for a course like Bristol; ie one that doesn't require an entry exam.

I have my ukcat tomorrow afternoon so I guess I'm just worried it won't be high enough for 4 year courses :frown:

I saw your post on your academic background, it was very familiar then realised we volunteered together :h:

Hello all!

I have a bit an issue; sat the UKCAT today and it didn't go well (620). I sat the GAMSAT but I'm not sure thats gone well either as I feel I messed up section 2. I have a 2.1 in biomed, extensive work experience and average A levels.

Should I just apply for GAMSAT unis? Retake my A levels to meet Bristols entry? (will they let me do it this cycle?) Not apply at all? Any help appreciated

My GAMSAT thread has a list of last years cut-offs, not that it really means much as they can change quite a bit.

Hello, I did my UKCAT toady and got average 615 Band 1. I dont know where should I apply, I am graduate student with first class degree.

You'd have a good shot with Birmingham, since they want 1st class degree and don't use entrance exams. I think they look at A-levels though.

Realistically, with a 2.i, is there much point in applying to Cambridge?

Does anyone know the kind of UKCAT scores that Newcastle look for? (I got 670 and I'm not sure if it's worth applying to UKCAT places?!) :smile:

I just sat my ukcat and got

VR:700
QR:650
AR:830
DA:600 ( :angry:

)
B1

Which averages me at 695. Is it worth applying to Warwick?

I got 712.5 last year and got accepted into Warwick and Barts but had to decline for family and finical reasons. Had a lot of personal things going on the last few months and working over full time hours so really didn't have the time to prepare so I'm pretty gutted.
