Hello Adam! I am keen on applying to medicine aswel.

My current stats are:
A*A*A* (predicted) in history, philosophy and politics
999988765

I want to inquire about UEA and Dundee. How do i apply to these? THe entry requirements look heavily limiting and it seems like you need to live in the area.

Hi. Could I know if MMI foundation interview questions are similar to Standard course questions?

Also, how do you think your foundation year has prepared you so far?

(If you do get SFE) Do you get SFE for your foundation year?

How often are you in class/lectutures?

How do you think your foundation year relates to/ is similar to your standard year course?

Hi,
Why did you choose A104 foundation as opposed to A100, from your stars I could see that you could have gone through to the standard 5 year course?

Thank you
