Thank you that helps a lot :smile:

I'll get 90% on GCSE so I've been trying to figure what sort of ukcat I would need !

That's really good! I'm sure your UKCAT wouldn't need to be too high then, maybe around 640? Good luck with your application!

I'm going to be abroad on results day. Will this be a problem? I heard that you need to confirm accommodation around this time but how will I do that from another country?

Must I get a Hepatitis B and C and BCG vaccination, and all the other ones if I have not had them yet?

Hi. I'm a current first year at HYMS based in York. You will have to confirm your accommodation online so unless you won't have internet access, you'll be fine. You will be notified by email. I remember the email being received a few days after results day, not on the day itself. Hope this helps.

Hi, I'm a current first year at HYMS. You will be sent an offer pack by mail from HYMS containing an Occupational Health form. It will explain any required vaccinations. In my experience, I was required to be vaccinated to all stated, but completion of all boosters was not mandatory at the point of entrance (I have had 2 Hep B boosters over the year while at HYMS).

How do you know what your chances are for each uni?

Like for Hull-York, someone said they have 90%?

I am a graduate, with 2.1, GCSE: 4A*S, 6AS, ALEVELS: AABB, UKCAT: 690, BAND 2

Hi, I'm a graduate and got a place this year for HYMS. HYMS were really good for their interview process and got it done very early (Dec). They take your top 8 GCSE grades to give you a score when you apply. So only having 4A*s might put you at a disadvantage compared to someone that has 8 but they don't look at your A levels at all I don't think, especially as a graduate. 2:1 is fine, again they dont really use the degree class, it's just a minimum requirement. So it might be worth trying to get a higher UKCAT score to compensate for the GCSEs but if it helps this is what I got:

2.1 MEng, AABB at A-Level, 6A*s 2As 2Bs at GCSE , UKCAT score of 686 and band 2.

I got 2A*s, 4As and 4B's at GCSE. AAA predicted grades for A levels. UKCAT score of 630. Is this good enough? If not what other schools would fit in with the results I have achieved?

Hi, Ive applied to HYMS for 2018 entry and just wanted an insight as to what the course entails, from people who are currently doing it. Is it a mixture of PBL and lectures, are the facilities good, is there dissections of cadavers? Thanks

so you have weekly time tabled

Anatomy
Biopracticals
Workshops
PBL
Clincal skills
Lectures
GP and Hospital placements

in ur own time you do
pharmacology
histology
and physiology.

The facilities are brill and u dont dissect anything, you look at cadavours to learn anatomy

I got an offer from HYMS this year but rejected it, facilities are not great at all compared to other medical schools. Would not advise choosing it.

why do you think that the facilities aren't great? Did you go to their open day?

Went for mock interviews there, open day and post-offer holder day so three times. There just isn't much. Also you can't even watch half the lectures in person as they'll be on one campus and have to watch them on a screen and the signal can sometimes go off etc.
