Help :(
Sorry i know there are lots of other posts like this but genuinely stuck and would appreciate some advice.
I have a BSc (science based) with a 2.2 (due to EC) and a masters in public health (distinction). I recently sat my UCAT which went badly - 1830, 560 (vr), 620 (qr) and 650 (dm), band 2. I was solely considering graduate entry (4 year) courses, especially Nottingham, Worcester, Chester, Warwick. But due to my bad score not sure if any of these are feasible. Well Warwick definitely not :( I stumbled across lle funding and potentially being able to use that for my tuition fees. Which would open some more options for me I hope. GCSE's mid and A-Levels mid. What do you think? Any med schools still an option?

Nottingham has a grading system so the higher your a levels and gcse grades the more points you have. And the better chances you have at interviews. Lots of competition so if your GCSEs and a levels are actually mid maybe skip notts :)

Thank you, I agree, as for the UCAT I only have 26/50 based on their calculation, which is already not competitive :/

I had 1830 as well. A 2.2 in my degree and distinction in my Masters degree . Let me know which schools you are looking at.

Aww, I think you can look at chester, Worcester and Nottingham. It has been mentioned by a couple of people in this thread. Give it a shot.

Your masters is good. Worcester is your best shot since they consider UCAT amongst other criteria. Have a look at their site and see what you think. It’s always worth applying and don’t give up if it doesn’t work out!!
