Hi guys,
Im hopefully planning to apply for entry Sept 21. Anyone knows how tough it is to get in? Like how many guys generally get invited to interview and how many get accepted?
I didnt complete my gcses so taking some now... Gonna need to apply for conditional offer, but getting a 6 shouldn't be that hard.

I doubt you would be shortlisted for the interview if you don't have your GCSE at the point of application.

Roughly 60 people get invited for interview and between 20 to 30 get accepted.

Too early for that as the application is still open until 15 January 2021.

Interview could be between March and April 2021.

No problem at all, so I wanted to get into medicine throughout school but due to mental health I dropped out of A levels. I pursued an apprenticeship in IT, then joined a large consultancy company and began a CompSci degree. Throughout this I was researching Artificial Intelligence and I saw its incredible applications in Medicine and began doing a lot of courses in how AI can detect cancers etc. In February this year I underwent double jaw surgery and that process just showed me that no matter what I had to get myself into medicine and in the operating room. I searched around for other routes (I was planning on GEM) but them came across this and it was exactly what I had been looking for! So fingers crossed!

Wow very interesting. I’ve been seeing these new degrees in artificial intelligence and always wondered about them. Your last sentence sums up how I felt when I found it too ☺️ When things are meant for you they will find away to get to you.

Just out of interest, would you not want to go for regular undergrad medicine? I know GEM is very competitive but undergrad with a degree is less... And since you would have to self-finance, another whole year less is a massive difference....

I mean, the idea of this course is for people who lack qualifications and wouldnt be able to get into medicine any other way....

Not your point of the post but I wanted to add that this year grads applying to A100 face much harder competition too.

Just look at the Barts A100 and SGUL A100 threads and you see grads being rejected left, right and centre (with very high UCAT scores).

Thats true. Im just saying that this course is meant for people who have no other way to get into medicine, with no a levels and only a minimum of GCSEs, and they only take 12 medics. I think that they might not even consider taking him seeing as he has other paths into medicine

It is a great course: I am enjoying it and the tutors are very helpful. The only downside I have noticed is the fact that the first semester has been done virtually due to COVID-19. It is slightly tricky for adult/mature learners who have been out of education for a while to learn that way. But, it is what it is and just as mentioned earlier, the tutors are doing a great job despite the fact that it is equally uncharted territory for them too.

Overall, it is a great!

Let me know if you have further questions.

You have a great drive for this, go for it and I wish you the very best! Needless to say, ensure you reflect yourself experience with the NHS in your personal statement.
