Cambridge Medicine Students and Applicants

I've managed to sort my health questionnaire out and send it, but haven't heard back - might e-mail to check they received it!

Haha totally! But my medical centre is being SO ANNOYING.

And Christ's for me -we are like neighbours but one hahaha

Hey I got an offer from Christ's college to start in 2013

At AS I did bio, chem, maths & physics and carried all on to A2 with an average of just over 95%

Feel free to ask any other questions

Hehe thanks! And Congratulations!!!!

My ambition is to go Trinity Hall or Kings college! (Unlikely tho)!

Haha awhh just wait until after my appointment on Tuesday - I'll probably be ranting on about how my GP is annoying me too

And oh yeah! Hello neighbour but one

Woop!

I am very tempted to email my college cuz these jabs are going to be sooo expensive and apparently if you wait til you're at Cambridge then occupational health do them for free?

You are so organised!!!

That's exactly what I've done . Called the Occupational Health people - plus my surgery isn't insured to give me the Hep B injections anyway :P.



Haha not really - my mum kept moaning at me to send it off :P.

So you just ring up the Cambridge occupational health and ask them to do the hep B jabs when you are there and that's fine?

And you are still organised :P

Yep! My dad called them up and they said they'd prefer if I had them done before, but if not then they can do them in October .

Got to fill in my UCL one now - unfortunately I was not organised enough to photocopy my vaccinations sheet so back to the doctors I go! :P.

hi giys, I just wanted to ask- will taking maths A2 in one year benegfit me in any way for a medical application for cambridge? At the moment I am taking normal Maths AS, Bio chem and Econ and am predicted all As- and for the mocks, my averege UMS (if they were real scores in the recent summer exams) would have been around 94%. I am also taking an EPQ.

Doing really well in 4 A2s rather than just 3 would probably help your application from what I have heard so yes

Hi, I am in year12, and i am looking into doing the BMAT this year.
I do biology chemistry maths and geography.
Do i require A-level physics knowledge to be able to get a good bmat score for section b?
Like will i be at a disadvantage because i dont do physics?

Awesome I will just explain about the money issue then

And at least you HAVE an insurance - I'm still waiting to hear (in late Feb) from my 3 other choices haha :P

I don't think personally taking Maths in one year would make a huge difference to be honest - it is fairly common with people who are either doing 4 or 5 AS levels including further maths.

Either way you will end up with 4 A levels so I don't think it would make a huge difference - sorry!

I'm sure they'll let you do it then .

I'm sure you'll get all three! Have you already had the interviews or have you got them coming up?

thanks very much. But would I then be at a disadvantage if I dont take the full A2 in a year?

thanks for your reply- actually i will just have 3 A2s and an EPQ at the moment- because I have to drop a subject at the end of year 12 and take on three next year.

Hopefully they will

And I had all 3 interviews in Jan and some went better than others so we shall see - hopefully not that it will matter haha

You won't be at any disadvantage - having the 4A2s whenever you do them will put you at a slight advantage
