Access to medicine London . ADVISE!!!!

Am still not sure, i went for an open day at Candi, City and Islington College, i was somewhat disappointed. It is a three day lesson, 4.5 hours per day, 2days will be online and one day will be in person. I got the sense you will not get as much support from tutors, it felt as though once you pay for the course you are essentially on your own.
Am still currently still researching on the best college that would provide enough academic support, as having a dedicated tutor does play a massive role to education success.
Advice is still very much appreciated!

Hello,
I am currently researching about the best college to study Access to medicine in London , which would get me into medical school. I have called and spoken to a few colleges, but i would appreciate advice from anyone whose successfully passed Access to medicine at a college in London and gotten into medical school. Please.
Likewise, anyone who has succesfully been accepted into Medical school via AC could you please advice me on how to suceed.
Thank you.

To get into medicine you need to have been to grammar school. It’s advisable that you apply to do your A’ levels in a grammar school 6th form if you didn’t spend your secondary school years in grammar.

Could you show me a uni that has that on their admissions statement please.

A load of rubbish that you need to go to a grammar school to get into medical school. Absolutely incorrect

Hi
I’m currently doing a remote access to medicine course through distance learning centre, I know 3 people on same course last year who have offers now at Keele, St George’s and Bristol if that helps 😊
It’s the only remote access to medicine unis seem to accept.

Hi @King2023 where was this course at please?

Hi there,
I just finished my Access to HE medicine course at City of Bristol College this year and got 4 interviews and was accepted into 3 medical schools (Man, Bris, St George (1 rejection at Liverpool) and should be starting at Bristol Uni this September. We had 3 days a week and 6 hours a day, I reccomend!
First obstacle is your UCAT. Uni of Bristol ran a local students / access to HE programme for applicants so the UCAT score didn't matter. Check out if your local uni does this. But most will need a high score to be invited to interview. I got 2840 B1 after a couple months of revising. I was working full time before so it was a lot but gradually you build up your skills using q banks like Medify.
Next is waiting for interviews. You will be invited if you meet the threshold UCAT score, its that simple. No other criteria are really taken into consideration. As for interviews provided you have healthcare experience this should be the "easy part". That said I was so nervous about interviews and they were challenging. With enough practice looking over online resources and studying basic medical ethics (Dr Ollie Burton on youtube has the best interview series by far) you will be fine.
Also look over what each uni wants. If they have an admission statement read it and it will give you so much guidance.
Finally as for the access course, essentially its a chuck (i'd say like 60-70% of A-level bio and chem - we had physics and a very basic maths unit). It is a lot of work and quite a stressful year. You do have to put a lot of effort into it, I got 3 As in A-level in physics, econ and geo and this course wasn't a breeze for me aha. You'll have 45 graded credits and 15 ungraded that make up the diploma. Most medical schools (bar Bris) want like 45 distinctions which is a lot of work and you can't slip up.
I you have any qs about the access course just ping me!

My friend did an access course at East Sussex and said they got a lot of support from tutors. The tutors apparently were always happy to schedule a meeting if they were stuck on content and had quick responses with emails. Teaching is also in person. They also got a guaranteed interview for BSMS and got in.

I have an interview for east Sussex college access course and BSMS has also confirmed they only accept this one access course but im not sure if other unis in London also accept this course. As Im concerned what if I dont get into BSMS and this access course does not get accepted by other unis as well. Could you please guide me on this.
Besides, I have applied to Morley, Richmond upon Thames, capital city college as well. And i have an interview for richmond upon thames as well. But im so confused which college to go into and which enable me to get into medicine easily
