Official: Keele University A100 2024 Entry Applicants

Original post by (())

Hey everyone! Best of luck for applications this year :smile:

A reminder that anything is possible, I recieved 2400 UCAT and i'm starting this med this year...if anyone has any questions - please feel free to message me or ask here :smile:

since i applied in 2023 i'm sure i'll be able to answer everyones questions :smile:

Heyy, I got 14 A*s in GCSE and 2630 in UCAT, SJT Band 1. I didn't get the UCAT bursary and I'm not a contextual applicant but I do live in the Keele region. I'm guessing I get around 7 points out of 10. Would that be competitive for interview at Keele?

Also do I need to complete the R&R form for 2024 entry? I don't see any mention of it on the entry requirements website...

Hi,
I got 2630 UCAT and SJT Band 1. I got 14 A*s in GCSE (im from Wales). I have done volunteering in a hospital cafe, a care home (mostly dementia/elderly residents) and I have just started volunteering in the hospital. Would I be considered for Keele? Also is there a R&R form this year or has it changed to personal statement? And would you recommend any other unis?
Thanks

Hi do keele prefer voluntary work done over longer period of time rather than work experiences done for say a week ?

it’s not really about the length, but they would prefer hands on volunteering to shadowing. also they want sustained extracurricular activities, which could include volunteering
