2011 Entry- Hopeful Medic Thread :)

Hello!

I'm not sure if I've already commented on this thread but anyway... I'm also aiming for Medicine. Doing Biology, Chemistry, Classical Civilisation, Latin and Maths. A bit of a weird combination but oh well!

I might try for Cambridge, KCL/UCL, Bristol and Southampton? Maybe. I'm very indecisive! But we've got a while to think about that thankfully!

I think you kinda do XD

It's cool too. But as far as I can make out the course style is more traditional with more emphasis on medical knowledge and theory rather than patient interaction. But I intend to do my research on all my choices soon enough.

And I've contacted UCH about one week of work experience. They haven't replied yet but if all else fails I'll try get my cousin to get me in Or try Whittington.

There are loads of places around London other than UCH and Whittington. It's probably going to be hard to get work experience in one of those because there are so many students at UCL. Though that may be a load of crap. Try the Royal Free? Guys? One of the non-heavily studented ones? There are loads of hospitals around london. But they don't always want under 18s.

Fresher, how are you finding things?

Isn't this a little eager? You can't completely decide until you get your AS results.

Gap years people
Those applying for deffered entry
Graduate applicants

TBH i started my application in year 12 ie trying to get work experiance etc

Oh thought it was just for people doing AS Levels and I think it's way too early to be thinking of which Uni's you want to apply to before you get any kind of grades.

Its is too early to be picking uni as such but thinking about what opendays you wish to go to is definatly possible. I know that the 2011 opendays are actually starting prity soon. However work experiance voluntary work etc is definatly something 2011 applicants should be thinking about, possible even 2012 applicants

Agree with you there. I've just started some voluntary work.

Ah cool what you doing???
