Lol the london hospital song is great ^^
It pretty much sums up why you shouldn't go to any other med schools.

I think it's like f_debeder said, it's the association with QMUL that has decreases BL reputation.
I mean BL wasn't my top choice either, I didn't really no any history of the medical school or of K and C until after I applied or even after I got into BL.
I suspect that the increases grades are to get 'more clever' people into BL to increase their reputation. They are building a huge fancy hospital with, i can't even count how many floors. Which will be finished by the time 2nd years graduate. Now they want to set a good example by training competant medics (hence they changed the course structure for this year) so they require an increase in grades.
I think increasing the grades is a good idea, because it will weed out the people who think of BL as a soft option. And will allow them to interview all the people they want unlike what happened to kings last year.
