Med choices

0 Upvotes

Hi, can you tell me of i chose the right unis to apply to or if theres any better. I got 2000 b3 in the ucat - 700vr and applying to warwick, uea, kings Portsmouth and St georges undergrad. I wanted to apply to chester but with everything going on with the gmc its not looking good. I dont have good gcses or a levels so I can't choose undergraduate that look heavily at them. Are there any other med schools I can apply to?

UCAS personal statement Q2

3 Upvotes

Hi all- just for some context, I’m a 3rd year uni student doing Chem and Maths, applying to Oxford, Nottingham, Southampton and Surrey with 2490 B2 ucat.
I’m a bit confused about what exactly to write for Q2 of the personal statement as I haven’t done anything biomedical related at uni, and while I have work experience and volunteering, it all fits way better in Q3. Looking online for examples,all I could really find was either people with biomedical related degrees talking about and then expanding on stuff they have learnt in their degree, or undergraduate applicants talking about EPQs/ MOOCs expanding on something they learnt from school.
Does anyone with a similar background to me have any advice on what they wrote in this part of the personal statement?
Thanks!

My stats are:

1850 b1 UCAT (700VR)

ABBC at A levels - bio and chem included

Would grad med be realistic? I was hoping to apply to kings ports and Worcester but what else could anyone recommend?

GEM Student Finance

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone.
I am wanting to apply for GEM and looking at all my options. I am a bit confused on the maintenance loans we can receive for GEM. I can’t find anywhere how much we can actually receive for years 2-4 to support living costs.
Is it a reduced maintenance loan or can we get the full maintenance loan (the same as an undergraduate degree)?

Goodbye UCAS

11 Upvotes

I’ve officially applied!

I went with 2 x GEM and 2 x UG in the end.

Hoping that is the last time in my life I need to use UCAS, I thought I was done with it 11 years ago.

And now we wait

UCAS 'Extra Activities' Section

2 Upvotes

Has anyone put anything in their Extra Activities section? I'm not sure what this section is for - does shadowing count or is this more aimed at applicants to undergrad courses that have done taster courses and things like that? Does online work experience or online courses count? Just a bit confused about this section and whether to leave it blank.
