Should be going to bed so I can start my revision bright and early tomorrow morning, but my head is full of thoughts of MSATs and medical colleges and tuition fees.
If I am to apply to Cambridge, and I think I will, just so I know I tried; then which college?
Lucy Cavendish, Hughes or Wolfson. Hmm
. Wolfson seems to be for international students, so it's really between Lucy and Hughes, or I suppose there is the open application. Actually, Lucy really appeals to me. However, I have read posts from a number of females that attended female only schools saying that they would never go back to a one sex college. But then there is always the bonus of Lucy probably having lower applications than Hughes and Wolfson.
What standard are the Cambridge GEM interviews? I am assuming that for entry straight from A levels the standard is A level, but for GEM is it degree level? Seriously, if anyone knows the answer to this please PM me!
I've heard that the selection / interview consists of a clinical / ethical scenario and a scientific problem / talk. I feel okay with the ethics, but the science problem scares the hell out of me. I know I've got a degree in genetics, I should know this stuff, but what if they give you the piece of paper with your options for the talk on and you draw a blank on all of them. I would cry
At least it seems like a fair selection thing they've got going at Cambridge. Seems like pretty much everyone gets an interview and it's really down to you on the day. Can't really complain about that. Wish you could prepare a bit more for it though.
