Any graduates apply for Aberdeen?

[Kensei]

Hi Kensei,

Did you apply to Aberdeen as a graduate? Do you know what support system is in place for grads who take up their med school place? I've read that it's a nurturing place, but thought I'd ask someone who is there who might be able to elaborate. Any info is greatly appreciated!

Yeah Im an Aberdeen Uni graduate. Do you mean their financial support? The uni has what's called a hardship fund, and I think u can apply for this grant 2 or 3 times each year (if they decide u actually need the money). Other than this, I am not aware of any resources which grads can use.

Thanks Kensei, how did you guess I was planning on eloping to New Zealand for three months?

let's say it's sixth sense but seriously - that's what I'd do if I had 3 months to spend and unlimited funds xD

Hi!

I'm a graduate too and applied for 2010. I got an email this morning asking me to send the transcripts from my undergrad to Aberdeen. Did everyone have to do this?! My first year grades are awful!!

Thanks

no i havent heard a single thing from them...and 2 others on my choice list either. Ive only heard from one of my choices and that was justa confirmation email. Well, if they wanna see your results, at least you're getting serious consideration. I think they should only need the last 2 years results from your degree, cos most people take it easy for year 1 or 2 and results are never that great for those years. My 1st year and 2 year results were ranged from 40s to 50s% but my 3rd and 4th were mostly and 70s and i ended up getting a 1st. University in 1st year is for partying...not studying!!

Hi Malbec

Grads are usually required to provide academic transcript on top of their reference letter and the 'predicted class of degree', just for completeness (I remember I had to send mine). So - if ur grades allowed your referee to say u're going to get a 2.1 (which is the minimal requirement), then they should be good enough for the admissions staff

Thanks for replying! I graduated last year?!
I guess I need to send them pretty soon. I thought I sent everything
they wanted already. Just need to dig them out!

Hello,
I graduated in 2008 with a 2:1 in BSc Computer Science (hons) I only did Chemistry to AS though so I have to take the Aberdeen Summer school course in Chemistry if offered a place it will be conditional upon passing this. I hope this helps. i got a very good UKCAT1.
