2011 Entry- Hopeful Medic Thread :)

I don't know lol. It all depends on my UKCAT.

I would prefer manchester but now they rank all the people in terms of the ukcat and call the top 'X' number.. similar to the newcastle system. I have also been looking at Liverpool but if i get good ukcat i'm not gna apply there.

However, i know where i won't apply! lol
Bham - they want 8.5 A*s at GCSE for interview (sent them an email lol)
Bristol - they seem to love GCSEs as well for some reason

What about you?

What were your GCSEs?

yea, no b'ham or bristol.
i am thinking UCL, Newcastle, barts/Aberdeen , leeds/peninsula/sheffield
i need to think of my last one and barts and newcastle is dependent on decent UKCAT.
seems like the UKCAT is gonna play a big role!
i think u should apply kings if u like it, u would stand a good chance i reckon.

I know, I just want to make sure it's the best it can be and I want as much time as possible. Hopefully I'll just be able to add bits as I go along instead of getting to the last minute and panicking.
Also, my college deadline is September for medicine

Actually, the guy does speak some truth. I started my PS really early like you and was really pleased with the result, but by the time I sent my application off I'd edited it so heavily that it didn't show any of my personality.

I'd recommend you seriously cool it until at least say, August-ish.

hmm, you nearly committed suicide after getting 87% in chem1....meh, cba to judge <_<

I do believe what he said, but I know I'll need longer than a week to do it, so I'm not going to think about it again for quite a while.
Thank you both for the advice though, I'm just going to be focusing on revision for the next couple of months anyway.
How's your application going?

i was contemplating it lol.. I rearranged the PV=nRT equation wrong!!
I make silly mistakes in exams soo many times. In my maths C1 i multiplied by 5 dived by two wrong!! (i would have got 100 otherwise )
In C2 i multiplied wrong again... but i realised that i did then the examiner said stop writing

Anyone got tips on this problem?... starting to get annoying now lol

but what I don't understand is that you got 87% and you seem to be disappointed with it, baffles me tbh.

As for your problem, best thing to do is to thoroughly check your work after you finish.

Haha i already do that!!

No but i lost 4 marks and 3 of them was coz of a silly mistake.. so i could've got higher... oh well

Wat did u get in ur GCSEs and jan modules?

The vast majority of the country make 'silly mistakes' in exams, and 'could've got higher'.

I may have got the wrong end of the stick, but I'm guessing this has something to do with you starting your PS this early. Your AS exams are far more important at this point - you have the whole summer to do your PS. I started mine late June and only did a little bit every week. I had my first draft done by mid August and it was off by 23/9. I'd ignore it now until after your exams. But I've just realised you're doing that anyway so I'm going to leave

hehe, so you wanna get away from home? XD

The UKCAT still scares me... :/ stupid Abstract Reasoning...

you shouldn't be scared of the UKCAT, the UKCAT should be scared of YOU
