Right, to begin i have 3 Sports A Levels (as PE teaching was my intention), 3 As Levels in Bio, chem, psych (not great grades) and am now embarking onto a Biomedicine degree - with intention of GEP when i finish.

Now, if applying to medicine does it matter if the biomed is accredited or is it just the degree the schools want?

Also a big one, i start this september for 3 years. When in the 3 years do i first need to apply to sit gamsat, and when would i actually sit it!? Same question for the UKCAT!

Finally and im sorry for going on but i know there is no 'easy' school to get into but which would benefit me more being a grad, and which accepts the most!? Thanks and again sorry for waffling!

As far as I am aware it doesnt matter, my degree wasnt accredited butit was fine. They just want a good degree with a good grade.

I'm not 100% sure about GAMSAT - but with the UKCAT you would apply the summer before ur final year so that u can have your marks before you apply in October - i think the GAMSA you apply around July? I might be wrong - it'll be on their website.

As you said there is no "easy" offers - its generally harder to get a place as a grad. You could apply to grad medicine course and these are pretty competitive, or the standard 5yr courses which vary in how many grads they take on - Medschoolsonline - Medical Course Guide for Graduates - Standard Medicine Courses

bonne chance
