[mashah]

hello ppl. i am faced with a difficult decision to make. i have got an offer from barts and st georges and i dont know which one to put down as my first choice. so which one would you choose and why?
thanx alot for your help.

Well only you can make that decision, so what I choose would be irrelevant ;p

But I would go for BL...
1.) Older medical school and hospitals
2.) Bigger university, more contact with non medics
3.) Campus based, nice for first year.
4.) Don't really like Tooting

There is no point in these posts really, as everyone has their own favourites and will give you a biased view. Although that in itself may be for totally different reasons.

If I was planning to go to st georges (which I am) and was on a waiting list (still waiting for my interview - so this is not me), I may influence people against the university I wanted, to increase my own chances of getting a place.

I think you need to work these things out for yourself. I personally love st georges and have spent six years of my life working for them. They are friendly and welcoming, and there is always someone ready to teach you new things. I personally love SGUL, but the choice is yours...

St Georges For Sure

lol, funniest thing was that guy was so Georges to start with and we converted him to choose Barts by the end of the discussion! But as others have said its a somewhat biased thread and you really have to do the research yourself and draw upon your own life experience to get a feel for what Medical school will suit you best. You know yourself better than any of us do.

No one could ever make me change my mind, for I know the true diamond.
