Gap year med school reapplicant- any of you in the same boat?

Hey guys!
I'm reapplying for 2020 entry medicine. What are you guys doing over the summer? I'm preparing for the UCAT, doing some volunteering, but that's mainly it. And am also s***ing myself over A-Level results day.
Feel free to discuss!

I’ll be reapplying for medicine but won’t be resitting anything though. Literally got rejection after rejection for med school last year. I hope next year will be better 😂

HAHA Same here
WDy get in A levels

Hey I got A*A*A.
What degree programme is it? Sorry for asking but I'm a bit confused. Did you go through clearing?

Congratulations!! Omg, that's absolutely AMAZING! Did you manage to get into a med school via clearing? Or are you gonna just reapply? either way, that's a massive achievement
My career plan for medicine was psychiatry. I had no chance of getting into med school with my grades so my alternative the whole time has been to do a psychology degree and do clinical psych.
My backup offer was for psychology and they basically gave me a place based on my previous grades and predictions and overall application (i've done a lot of extracurricular/leadership roles so my application was solid elsewhere, it was just these a level grades ) I think that's why anyway, they did hint towards it heavily and my teachers seem to agree. the grades I got were not representative of my ability. Plus I did well in psychology a level so that was another point that helped.
I didn't go through clearing, thankfully, although the process I went through was equally as stressful but it's worked out because i'm at a Russell group now

Hey I got A*A*A wbu if you don't mind?

Wow that's amazing! I wish you the best of luck doing what you have a passion for! Congrats!

Hey guys, I need some advice on my medical school choices.
My stats:
GCSE 3A*s and 7As
A level (achieve grades I’m on a gap year): A*AA (RS, Bio and Chen) and A* in epq.

I’m doing my UCAT on the 30th September as I only recents decided to take a gap year after results day - I originally had a place for medical science at Edinburgh.

So far I’m think of going to:
Edinburgh
UCL
Glasgow
KCL
And Edinburgh medical sciences as my fifth option.

I’ve done loads of work experience etc and my references are very strong.

Any advice would be appreciated.

i personally think if you do really well, you're better applying to another UCAT uni instead of UCL because you'll only have 1 month to revise for the BMAT - but that might be enough time for you! because with a good ucat score and those amazing grades btw you're almost guaranteed interviews in places like Birm, Notts, Sheffield, KCL and Edinburgh etc but then again its completely up to you!

Thank you for the advice I’ll definitely keep that in mind. For the UCAT how much revision do you think is enough on a daily basis ? I really need to get over 700 for Edinburgh and KCL. Thank you 😊

Offers received in 2018:
University of Manchester (A106) - FIRMED
University of Sheffield (A100) - INSURED
UKCAT (2019): 2660, UKCAT (2020): Pending
A-Levels (2019): AAB (Biology, Chemistry, and Maths respectively)

I have my UKCAT booked, however, I am trying to appeal my rejection as I was extremely unwell during paper 1 maths, which pulled my overall grade down.
