Glasgow A100 2020 Entry

So true!! The suspense is killer, where else did you apply?

St Andrews, St George's and Manchester with my 5th choice Neuroscience at Edinburgh. You?

I applied to Medicine at Glasgow and Edinburgh and then second year entry into Anatomy at Glasgow which I already received an offer for in October. I wanted to use my 2 remaining choices to apply to other medical schools, however, I am in a bit of an odd position. I had to apply as an international student as even though I have lived in Scotland for over 4 years now and did Scottish Highers and Advanced Highers I can only apply for indefinite leave to remain and citizenship (my father is a British citizen but wasn't born in the UK, my grandfather was from Aberdeen) with priority towards the end of May 2020. I contacted some universities to see if it was possible for me to apply this year as an international student and then if I receive and accept an offer, change to a home student before registration and the start date- Glasgow seemed positive and Edinburgh said they would have to reassess my application and I could potentially lose my place, however, it could be possible. St Andrews admissions said it would be highly likely that I would either be stuck as an international student or lose my place completely as their quota is usually filled. So I decided to only apply to Glasgow and Edinburgh this year and fingers crossed I get in.

I’m glad you all applied to Glasgow!! It’s a fantastic medical school, the facilities and the general vibe of the place is very positive! The best thing about the medical school is the staff, who will always do everything to ensure you receive the best possible medical education! The jump from Scottish school leaver to undergrad medicine is huge, but if you’re willing to put in the work everyday then you should be fine!

Best of luck in your applications guys!

Awww that’s a shame, are you a school leaver? X

Hey, thats really nice of you how did you find the interview at Glasgow?

The interview, I felt, didn’t go too well... the first panel was the generic ‘why medicine, why Glasgow?’ Was tough, and I felt the interviewees were unimpressed. However, the ethics panel was one of the best interviews I had out of all at the other medical schools. The room at the royal infirmary was very noisy too, making it sometimes difficult to hear what they were saying.

Congrats for getting in!! I was wondering what resources you used to prepare for your interview, books, websites, etc? Is there anything that in hindsight you would recommend doing? That sounds like a bit of a nightmare for interview, a busy, noisy room. Roughly how many people were in the room getting interviewed at the same time and how big was the room?

I was also wondering what part of the medical curriculum at Glasgow do you enjoy the most?

Thanks!xx

Anyone knows when should we be expecting invitations for interviews?

Next week sometime, I think Wednesday
