As far as I know, Lambeth and City and Islington are the only ones in London that are (somewhat) widely accepted by med schools. Your med school choices will be a lot more limited than if you did A-Levels but that will be the case for any Access to Medicine course.

Theyre all booked up already- did your uni allow distant learning?

I don't think they did when I applied, but med schools change their entry criteria all the time so maybe there are some now that accept that, I'm not sure I'm afraid.

I’d recommended you did a face to face course. It’s more widely accepted. I’m currently on an access course at City and Islington. Applied to dentistry. Got interviews too. Waiting to hear back from Glasgow, Kings and Bristol, all post interview :smile:

Hello, I sat an Access to Medicine course this year and have two offers for Medicine. I will be studying at Manchester in September 2021 and have already met all of my conditions, so if anyone has any questions, just ask!

Hey Hajra, same I am caught between Lambeth and Islington; I am leaning more towards Lambeth simply because Islington is 2 days online and only one day in person, and I prefer in person teaching mostly.
