I'm applying for King's and Bristol too. What are you predicted (if you don't mind me asking)?

I'm not predicted anything.

I'm just getting my UCAS sent-off tomorrow.
Really hoping for an offer from all of my universities. Thinking about the process and the competition is making me nervous. Where did you apply?

Anyone else applying for any of the following:

I'm getting really nervous since I haven't got my UCAS sent off yet and my grades might not be good enough :frown:

I'm applying for UCL, KCL and Bristol! :smile:

I've heard back from KCL and Bristol, but I'm an early applicant so I wouldn't worry! I think they process them fairly so that no one's at a disadvantage no matter when they apply, but it's a nice feeling when you get them sent off! Do you mind me asking what your grades are? As long as you're predicted there grades (or are relatively close to them) then I'm sure you'll be fine!

Good luck to everyone who's going to take BMAT or NSAA test today! I'm in China, so I suppose I will start my test earlier :biggrin:

QMUL won't take long I think cause they said they aim to make a decision in four weeks in their acknowlegdement email. :smile:

Ok so
I'm planning on applying to
Kings (Neuroscience)
Queen Mary's (neuroscience)
Sussex (neuroscience)
Kent (biomedical science)
Brunel (biomedical science)
Now I mainly want to do neuroscience but I needed two courses with a lower entry requirement so I chose the biomed courses at Brunel and Kent.
The question I have is how can I go about writing my personal statement to centre it towards both courses.
I've written the bulk of my personal statement however it's only neuroscience based as I hadn't made the choice to select two of my choices as biomedical science just recently.
Any help would much appreciated.

First I need to say my opinion may be wrong cause I'm also an applicant this year and have no more experiences than you. :smile:

I think you should check the course syllables in Kent to see whether you can do some neuroscience modules in second/third year. If you can, it'll be fine to talk about neuroscience because there must be a certain area you are interested in biomedical science.( If not neuroscience, then may be cardiovascular system? Human physiology?...
You can also write something like neuroscience needs a lot of background knowledge of...(which you can add the first/second year courses other than neuroscience here) This shows you not only know what neuroscience is but also tells the university you will still study hard in non-neuroscience courses.
That's my advice which may be very wrong...but I hope this can help you! Don't worry too much and good luck!

I'm so glad I found this thread!

I'm applying for Oxford, UCL, Bristol, Nottingham and Kings, and I've recieved offers from Bristol, Nottingham and Kings! Honestly, after the disaster that the BMAT was today I'm not sure how realistic Oxford is anymore :/
