Likely be a mix of savings and student loans. Anyone else from Canada thinking about student loans, and if so from which bank?

100% doing loans from FAFSA it’s my only option :/

Hi there! My 2nd stage interview was in February

Hello!
I have my 2nd stage interview on the 11th, But I'm a bit confused on how this is done?
Is it like a traditional verbal MMI or a solely computer based test like the SJT section on the UCAT?
for example : Do I have to write down my answers, and have MCQs to answer certain questions or am I supposed to verbally speak them with an interviewer ?
Thanks!

I'm pretty sure it is going to be like verbal answer, the invigilator will share their screen to show the questions, you have 1 minute to prepare, and approx 7 mins to speak. My interview is tomorrow and I'm so scared

Hi
I got a place to study medicine in Buckingham
Does anyone have contact with existing students studying there?
Since in many reviews it talks about the low quality of teaching??/?

Hey
I attended from Jan-May this year but had to leave due to health reasons.

I wouldn’t say the teaching quality is poor. I’ve been in university for 8 years and I’d say it’s pretty aligned with what I’m used to.

As for structure of teaching, you have a first lecture from 9-10am, group work in assigned groups from 10-12 approx, then a second lecture from 12-1p.

The biggest complaint I had was the size of the town. It’s very small and situated in the countryside. If you can deal with that you’ll be fine. It’s about an hour to London, however.

I’ll hopefully be joining y’all in January.

Good luck!

Not yet! Have you?
I noticed that stage 3 will be on 8/8 so they should send emails out soon I guess.

How did you find the MMA?

Haven't heard back yet either. Checked their website as well which is why I was thought they'd probably send emails by 2 weeks of the MMA.

It was alright, a bit time pressured obviously, the math section didn't go so well for me since I struggle with numbers and stuff in general – it wasn't too great, neither too bad, just in between I suppose.

How about you? How'd you find it?
