fortunately we get plenty of adequate and good candidates too lol to compensate.
But that's true in any walk of life! Although I admit getting it right for future doctors is probably more important than for most other jobs. I don't think it's possible to create a perfect admissions system, but I do agree that UCAS is not ideal, particularly for medicine and those tests are simply more academic hurdles (I think there's a balance that has to be reached between cost and effectiveness).

Any suggestions on how to put the world of med school admissions to rights?
