Hi guys, applying from Spain. So nervous.

Got an A* (Maths) and 3A's (Chem, Bio and Spanish).
UKCAT: Mean 710 (900 in abstract reasoning), Band 2

Btw, I'm taking a gap year since I didn´t get in last year.

I´m applying to Bristol, Southampton, Sheffiel, Nottingham and Edinburgh(Neuroscience).

Good luck to everyone.

I'm an international student applying with relatively low stats however studying medicine in the Uk is - as cheesy as this sounds - what ive always wanted to do so i decided to give it a shot.

IB: HL Chemistry 6, HL Bio 7, HL English Lit 5, HL Arabic 6, SL Math 6, SL History 6, TOK/EE 3.
American high school diploma GPA: 4.20
UKcat: 593Avg and Band2
Personal statement: i'd say it's pretty well written and i've gotten a lot of feedback from school teachers/advisors so i'm fairly happy with it.

What are your thoughts guys?

But should Poland not be part of the Home/EU quota?

For Medicine, I think you will not be considered an International Applicant...correct me if I am wrong

Yup, you're right :wink: i just thought that maybe u know the cut off scores cuz u talked about them :wink:
I'm from Canada, but I'm currently in first year pharmacy in northern ireland. I've only applied to schools that do not require the BMAT or UKCAT because applying to med was kind of a last minute thing because i didnt know that no undergrad was needed in the UK for it but tis something i have always wanted to do. My grades are listed below acceding to all the courses i took in my final year of high school. I applied to BSMS, UCLAN, and plymouth...anyone genuinely think i have a chance tho?
Chemistry 90% (A*) Biology 92% (A*) English 93% (A*) French 90% (A*) Economics 92% (A*) Calculus and Vectors 94% (A*) Advanced Functions (mathematics) 90% (A*) Visual Arts 93% (A*), plus IB HL math i got a 5 -- I'm still iffy and awaiting emails very very impatiently lol

Hi sookie
Don't worry most of us are just anxious as you are. keeping fingers crossed
hopefully all of us must get atleast one offer. your stats are amazing and have a good chance of offers.
