Oh my god hey! This is such a great thread, I hope people start using this!! I'll add in my AS choices too if you don't mind!

Predicted AS grades: AAAA in mocks
Actual AS grades: AAAA - 88% in English Lang, 92% in History, 94.5% in Class Civ and 99% in English Lit, giving me an overall raw mark average of 93.35%
Predicted A Level grades: 3 A*s!
A Level choices: English Literature, English Language, History, Classical Civilisation (but I'm hopefully dropping this after AS), EPQ
Course: Linguistics!!!! If anyone's ever seen my posts, I'm pretty into the subject...
Extra curricular: Linguistics Olympiad (Silver award), won my school's essay comp, entered a Cambridge essay comp, did some writing for First News in 2014, Cambridge Linguistics masterclass, grade 6 ballet tap and modern, grade 6 speech and drama, won a whole school poetry competition, founded a couple of choirs at my new school, been in a bunch of school plays/musicals, directing a spoken word choir, learning Swedish and French on the side, plus lots of extra reading too!!
Other universities applying to: Cambridge, UCL, York, Newcastle/Manchester

I'd love to go to Edinburgh, did you go to the open day? I loved it at the open day, more than any other uni so far!

So what if he/she is? Seems like she worked her guts out so she could be. Let her be proud of her success.

True, I wasn't interested in her grades neither, but if you don't care, simply don't mind replying...

Hi! I've applied to 2 courses at Edinburgh!! One is Veterinary Medicine (which I have an interview for) and the other is Infectious Diseases (as my 5th choice)! Has anyone else applied for it and if so have you heard anything yet?😬😬
Almost ended up in hospital after a violent panic attack at the sight of an email from the University of Edinburgh starting by "Thank you for your application!". Turned out to be an invitation for a colouring about Christmas. It was so cruel.

Haha, thank you. I was just really stoked with my AS grades because, at the time of the exams, my mum went into hospital and almost died, and I became her carer whilst trying to revise for AS exams, and my granddad died so I had to take time off for the funeral.
Hi,
Just wondering if any A100 Medicine applicants have heard back yet? Also, am I correct in saying that they don't interview for undergraduate medicine?
Thanks in advance :smile:

As a vet applicant I believe they don't interview for medicine - I'm not sure why when they interview us!

Choose a one with requirements you can meet, not based on league tables and stuff. Both are good.
