5th Choice as a med applicant

Hi,

I plan to apply to 4 medical schools and I was wondering what I could put as my 5th UCAS choice. I could apply for Plymouth dental but there’s only a small number of spaces. Is there any other medical related course I could do like radiology or optometry.

Thank you.

Hello,

Best of luck for your medical school application.

There are tons of other courses which are healthcare based, such as paramedicine, occupational therapy and optometry. I think Exeter has a radiology course and Cardiff has an optometry course. It completely depends what you want to do, which seems like an obvious thing to say, as each profession is completely different.

Have a look at some of the university websites, browse subjects and have a look at what they offer.

Ok, I am going to research them.I just wanted to find other courses that could accept my medical personal statement that are in the healthcare field.

Thank you
