Hi! I am applying this year for Sofia Medical University. How competitive is it? Do I have a high chance of getting into the university if I get perfect score on bio, chem, and english. Are the questions on the exam the same as the mock exams provided by Interhecs. I was just talking to my personal assistant through Interhecs, and she told me that there are only 19 available spots for non-EU applicants, that's so low! Has the school gotten very competitive? Is it because of the Prepatory Class who automatically get a spot thats taken over all the available seats. Any advice to get in or information is appreciated, thank you!

My understanding based on a discussion with my friends daughter who is studying Medicine (3rd year) there is that only 2 students made it from the prep course to that start of the degree last year - so no guarantee you will automatically get in. Students will still have to sit exams at the end of the preparatory year.

have u got any more info on this?? i was told by the uni as well as my agency that this would not be the case as prep students have priority over entrance exam students and are not ranked with them
Hi, in thinking of doing a foundation year at Sofia as i missed the deadline for first year. Does anyone know what they teach in the foundation year? Is it worth doing a foundation year or should i apply next year?

Apply next year for Plovdiv, or trakia easier to get in and better teaching, I would avoid foundation year, it isn’t worth plus you still have to pay tuition fees

Unless you’ve already started your application for foundation year, the admissions has closed so you wouldn’t be able to start one. Previously prep year students had a really high chance of not a guarantee of starting but for Sofia our agency is telling people that it is most likely going to be a ranking because of how competitive it’s gotten. If i were you i would just wait till next year to apply for first year entry and try to apply to at least another university just to guarantee you a space. If you are willing to pay for an agency, before they take any payment they can give you advice on your application for free so you can get some more information from them too.

Hello,
I am a medical student studying in Sofia Medical University, Bulgaria. If anybody wants to apply, please do hit me up, I am happy to answer any questions and help you apply to the university. I am in my second year, nearly going into my third year and its great so far!

Hi there,

I’m currently studying access to medicine in the UK. Can I apply with this qualification? I don’t have A Levels. All the agencies are giving me conflicting reports - some saying I can, some saying I can’t. Who is the best person to speak to at the university to get this information?

As long as you have GCSEs and they are fairly good results you can sit an entrance exam for Sofia Medical University and if you score high enough you’ll defo secure a place. Getting 100% in the entrance exam - multiple choice questions - you just have to memorise them well, will defo secure you a place.
