uniadmissions for medicine cambridge? is it good or not worth it at all

hi! I just received a consultation for medicine from uniadmissions, and they haven't discussed the price with me yet :s-smilie:

(i assume it'll be very expensive)

just wondering if anyone did the medicine uniadmissions course to get into oxbridge and if it is actually worth it?

i feel like the course on paper looks great, but imo it seems too good to be true lmao

thanks!

I dont know the answer I am afraid.

But if me, I would ask what does it give you that isnt available publically / for free / on TSR / youtube etc ?

Oxbridge isnt indivisible. Which are you aiming for ? How specific is the course to that uni. How specific to medicine at that uni?

@Oxford Mum any thoughts ? I know its for the other side 🙂 but perhaps in general terms for this type of course?

It costs £5-6k, depends on how many tuition hours you get. I got 24 which is essentially £5,000.

They offered me 3K last year, and I got in without it. So I doubt you "need" it.

Do you think that they do a rigorous enough job that it’s virtually ‘guaranteed’ that you’ll get into Oxbridge if you follow all their advice ? Also, weird question for me to ask ,I know , but did they ask for your credit card details over the phone to pay for the course ?

Also, would you mind sharing the name of the person you talked to over the phone during your initial conversation (when they ask for payment) ?
