I don't really know, I really like it but I think she wanted to apply to KCL at first but she didn't do well in the UCAT .

She'll have a better experience at Keele.

Its incredibly rare and unheard of. She may have to repeat a year if jt was allowed.

really? so do you think she has to repeat the year? even if both courses are medicine?

This question gets asked about once a week e.g. https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=6711046

Tl;dr: it's almost certainly not going to happen. What are her reasons for wanting to transfer? Not getting a high enough UKCAT score then trying to transfer the following year isn't a great reason.

no the reason is not UKCAT, she chose Keele because she didn't get a good UCAT score to go to KCL
but she says that she's feeling uncomfortable there and I don't know why:/

That...is what I said lol (my bad for using the old name for the UCAT).

Maybe you could ask her to join TSR or explain her reasons to you a bit more. At the moment it's hard to give advice without specifics.

Feeling uncomfortable could mean a lot of things, chances are it's first year nerves and it'll settle down :smile:

She's far better off in Keele than stuck in London potentially under lockdown. Much nicer place ...

she asked me to come here and Ask but I will tell her to create an account and discuss that with you guys
I think because she wants to stay in London where we live .

the only thing she wants is to stay in London that's the main problem😂

She surely must have considered that when firming Keele? I think she just needs to give it a bit more of a go in all honesty.

well she chose 4 unis but because she didn't do well in the UCAT she lost the chance of applying to 3 of them
