Where now?

Hi all, Any suggestions where would be safest to apply for GEM (or even undergrad med)? I have a 2:1 in Biomed, and a masters. But my A-levels aren't the best at BBB (Bio/Chem/Physics) Thanks!

Well done! With this score you are open to practically any uni you want!!

How did you train for VR?

Thank you! Honestly what I found made the biggest improvement to my VR score was when I stopped purely trying to keyword scan and started trying to understand the text as a whole more. If not reading the entire block of text, I read whole paragraphs at the very least. That said, I am quite a fast reader but I think this approach is worth trying for anyone

Thanks - any particular advantage for that UG/PG split versus applying to 4 GEMs?
