well first definitely check the individual requirements on the university websites. I'm assuming you did your GCSEs. So you would need minimum of 6 GCSE's with a grade 6/C, 3 A levels, Biology, possibly chemistry and one other subject at a minimum grade of AAA unless ur applying to cambridge/oxford. You would need to do UCAT/BMAT and apply during your 1st year of A Levels on UCAS before October 15th. You will need to write a personal statement, get some work experience, etc, basically make ur application look as appealing as possible. These are the basics for ur application. Just to let you know Medicine is HIGHLY competitive especially for international students so even if you get everything right there is still a chance you can get rejected. But I wish you the best.

I don't think that is what they are asking, they aren't asking about getting into med school, rather they already have a degree and want to join a medicine society in the UK.

Reading it again I'm not as sure although so if Ali could specify if they have been to med school or not yet it would be helpful.

Anyways, have you going through the application process or are you already in med school?
