I just got the R&R Form too!

I need to clarify something. can I say that I am part of a fundraising team that help fundraise for a cancer charity. can that go in the R&R form? is it relevant?

Hi guys I know Keele say they don't score shadowing and so I won't write about it in the main part of the form, but should I list it in my work experiences? As I have a spare role section I could put it in, just to let them know I did it. Is anyone else thinking of putting shadowing in or can offer advice?

I am doing my R&R form for Keele. I have more than four experiences (one of those is 2 years) which I want to put down. it was during university and they have stopped the scheme now and I am not sure if they will be able to get a reference if I put it on my R&R form as I have emailed them and got no reply. should I put it down as a work experience? what do you guys think? anyone from Keele who could tell me on how they ask referees for reference on R&R as I could go to uni and speak to someone.

I've put 'shadowing' as a role undertaken for one of my experiences in the first part of my form- not sure if it's gonna make them hate me though.

Hey guys I’m a little confused! Do we have to answer the questions based on the work experiences we put down? Or is that only for the first question? It’s a bit confusing because t only says specifically in the first question to refer to section 1.

Hi, I'm about to fill in the r&r form but slightly confused.

Presumably I can mention work ex and volunteering that was on my personal statement - do they read both and if so do I need to find different experiences and situations?
thanks

They don't read your personal statement in the initial selection. However there will be an MMI station which will discuss it. For the R and R for form just pretend your personal statement doesn't exist.

When say question one do you mean the work experience section with 4 insert boxes or the first longer answer question?

Hi! Trying to make 4th choice. Could be Keele but concerned that offer will be A*AA - is it always? Meet GCSE & UKCAT requirements. Happy with R&R form so offer is my main concern. Predicted A*AA but could do without the pressure. Thx.

Hi, I'm no expert but I went to a Medicine talk at the open day in July, and the man who was speaking to us said that the offer is A*AA but he said he was expecting a lot of people who'd received an A*AA offer to be let in anyway if they got AAA. I wouldn't just assume that you'll get in with AAA, you might not, but it might help relieve the pressure a bit knowing there is a chance still :smile:

Please don't take this the wrong way, but if you're wanting to study medicine one of the first things you should've done was at least had a glance at the NHS Constitution. Everything is written really nicely and simply- all you have to do is google it.
