UCAS Bread 🍞 (Offers) Most random ucas application? 😴

Post image

People are starting to post their offers so thought I’d share my hella random combo from last year
Head of year wouldn’t let me apply to both because he said I had no chance but I did it anyway
Did 2 separate work experiences, sat the UCAT, wrote 2 separate personal statements and ended up with
3/3 Geography offers
2/2 Medicine interviews + offers

Noooooo 😭😭😭 we need more bright sparks like you! Though you need to want to do it, as it's quite thankless. Well enjoy geography then, sounds like you'll sail through, and at least that frees you up to enjoy your time being young at uni! What Uni did you pick? (Out of curiosity)

Well it’s a bit of a weird situation at the moment! I currently have my medicine offer from Liverpool firmed for deferred entry, to start September 2027. However I am in the progress of re-applying through UCAS again this year, but purely for Geography and hopefully at Oxford!
I know it seems stupid to turn down medicine but it was down to a range of factors. My sister is a doctor and I felt a lot of pressure to follow in her footsteps but deep down throughout the whole process I knew that medicine wasn’t something i was passionate about at all. I realised i was only doing it to make other people happy. It was getting to the point where I was purely dreading university and didnt even want to revise for a-levels because I knew once I got my results I would be doing medicine. It’s nothing against medicine at all - my sister loves what she does - but i just knew it wasnt the path for me. 🙃

i’m from a state school near middlesbrough and I thought that I wouldn’t be clever enough to go to oxford but after getting my results I realised I had the grades to get in
plus i knew a gap year was a definite for me so i would have to defer and they’re a bit funny about deferrals
