Hi! I'm an international a-level student hoping to apply for medicine at glasgow. i scored 2970 b1 on UCAT and have 4A* predictions (bio, chem phys, maths). Is this considered too risky?

I'm kinda confused with their entry requirements, for microbio, it says standard entry requirements are BBB-AAB but i'm not sure if BBB is only applicable for widening participation applicants, i've emailed the uni but i still haven't got an answer and it would be cool if i got one now so i can finalise my choices.

I am a 2nd year student of History ( I do not study politics), however level 5 is post grad I believe. You do a combination of 3 subjects over the first 2 years

Hey I was just wondering what grades you achieved before you got into uni. Idk if you’re an international student but if you’re from the uk then like what highers/ a levels did you get?

It was different for me as I am a mature student who came in through a swap course, however once at university it is the same for everyone
