Anyone from CBSE qualification?

I have an overall of 64% considering biology, chemistry and physics in 12th standard (INDIA). I dont know how to convert this into the UK grade system. But if anyone studying there could please tell me if I can get through any university with this qualification even if its in a Foundation Year into Medicine?

Thanks :smile:

But UCLAN isn't GMC approved. Buckingham got theirs recently I guess but I've read that they are not student friendly at all. It wouldnt be worth taking a risk with all that money. Are you studing in any University there?

I have checked the qualifications and compared to their academic requirements mine are quite low. I need surety if you are willing to provide me with it please and if not can you please tell me some public universities that I can get through maybe that are GMC approved. Do you know if Aston is GMC approved?
Thank you

Our Medical School is fairly new, we have been accepting PhD students from 2015, but open our doors to our first undergraduate cohort this year.

Okay. Thank you :smile:
oui
am reapplying this year
had 2 interview invites last year with 88% prediction at grade 12; rejected by 1 & couldn't make it for the other interview.

this year have cbse 84 % achieved and emailed all the ukcat unis.

have not been able to get 4 public unis to commit that they will consider my application (as they consider my academics to be borderline low)

i know that its not the academics that they solely look at, but i also know that they need u to cross a minimum threshold

suggest u try uclan, buckingham, bristol

no point giving you false hopes

Yeah getting into any of the other universities is tough as hell. I tried for Bristol they say my qualifications are low, I know that too but they told me if I could meet any other qualification of theirs then they might reconsider my application. Now I am left with so many courses that the Uni accepts but there is no oppurtunity as such in India. I am in a fit here. Also, you might agree with me on this one- just look at the amount of fees they demand from the international students. I mean they need the qualifications, they need the money, they need UKCAT and also IELTS. We are not considered anywhere.
Btw which Unis did you apply to last year and which are you applying to this year? I feel so stressed right now!! :s-smilie:
