I wanted to apply to Barts, but their FAQ said they have a policy against taking students who already had started a course somewhere else?.. Is that wrong? I would have applied otherwise...

Their website says "The School of Medicine and Dentistry does not accept applicants who have not completed their degree courses, nor do we accept transfers from a related degree onto our medical/dental courses."

I didn't start my previous course (didn't enrol) so I'm hoping I'll be okay? :s-smilie:

You SHOULD get one from Plymouth and also Newcastle if your PS is half-decent, Barts also should offer you an interview as they base it off UKCAT and UCAS tariff combined. KCL I have no idea about tbh.

I've applied to Plymouth too. How do you find the uni itself? What do/don't you like about it?

Uni itself is fine, the course some would say is very good, personally I'm lazy and hate that everything is compulsory to go to. The clinical side is second to none and you won't find a better uni to go than Plymouth for the clinical side.

That's impressive. I got 6A* and 4A but only got 655 band 1 in UKCAT. Fml.

How do you find the course itself? I hear from people that's it's really hard but is it that intensive or is it possible to take a more chilled approach?
