Medicine Re-applicants 2017 Entry

Hey, I had one interview last year and my nerves took over.
Alevels achieved A*AAA
UKCAT 660
GCSEs 5A*s 4As 1B distinction in additional maths
I'm not doing the BMAT.
Can people please give me some advice on where to apply for this year because my ukcat score seems to be just below or above a lot of last years cut offs so i don't know where to apply. I prefer city universities as appose to campus but to be honest i ll be happy with anywhere that would take me. Also any advice for combating nerves would be appreciated.

What did you get in the UKCAT?

So which unis are people considering? I know that there are like 5-6 that accept resits if i remember correctly.

I'm only looking at UKCAT universities as I do not want to take the BMAT again, i hated it.
For me, Liverpool, Plymouth and East Anglia

I've done it before
I got two interviews this year but unfortunately was rejected after both of them. I don't feel motivated to go through the process again, particularly because of the ukcat - it's a lot of pressure and I'm not sure how well I will do the second time as I didn't do exceptionally well the first time.

I feel exactly the same as you. The BMAT was the vain of my life (apart from the ukcat). I also want to apply to plymouth and liverpool, what are your stats?

Hiya actually in the last couple days I got my biology remarked and it went upto an A

Hi I'm not a reapplicat but I think it would be wiser if I post questions on this thread than on the non-reapplicat thread as you guys are obviously experienced!
My stats-
GCSE-6A*5A's
As-AAAA
Predicted alevels-A*A*A*and EPQ A*
Good/strong personal statement.
UKCAT 620 SJT-Band1
Where do you suggest I apply from experience?
My UKCAT is s very low but my predictions and As are high. Is exeter and keele a good choice?
Good luck with your applications!

Keele and bristol. I dont know much about exeter sorry. Maybe liverpool (dont know what their cuf off is though but i know its fairly low), birmingham.
Also you could take the bmat which will open up the door to other unis eg. Ucl, icl, lancaster if you do good.

Yes I am planning to do the BMAT- do UCL rank applicants on BMAT or have a cut off like imperial? I would much prefer ones that have a cutoff as there is no way of knowing what position I am in the ranking! Thank you for your reply! x

Hi everyone, i'm joining the gap year/reapplicants club

So last year the main thing which let me down was my ukcat score (below average) and then not applying wisely and choosing the wrong unis,,,, e.g HYMS ... yeah no comment

Here are my stats:

GCSE's: 1A*, 7A's
AS: AAAA
A levels: A*AA
UKCAT this year: 763.3 average, SJT band 1

I have 1 week of work experience in a hospital and 3 days at a pharmacy. Also have volunteered for 6 months at a local charity shop.

For my gap year so far i have travelled whilst on holiday in the summer and have a part time job. Have an interview for a job at a hospital which hopefully will get back to me before 15th oct so i can include it in my ps... Have applied for volunteering at the hospital and am also organising some at a hospice which will include chatting to and accompanying patients and will be more of a caring role. Other plans are working abroad and travelling towards the beginning of next summer, aswell as pursuing more hobbies and reading some med related books oh and of course not to forget earning some money for the travelling or maybe even so i have some in the bank when i finally go to uni? Hopefully haha.

What kind of plans does everyone else have? What things are you wanting to do or do you think would be beneficial, both generally and for the second application as a whole? It would be nice to see what everyone is doing!

which unis accept resits?

Wow you should try Newcastle with that UKCAT!
