Sorry Mmmm... I started off answering one thing and ended up drifting into another. I know that the 'Indeed' was directed at your comment, but then I seem to have shifted to some of the things further up the thread... Think I was a little too tired at the time!

whoops, forgot to mention that the girl I was talking about with maths and further maths, took her alevels 4 years ago- so the rules did change during that period, just like before in UCL you were not permitted to take an entry exam. (did not intend to cause any misunderstanding)

I took five A levels (if you include GS ) and was rejected without interview by two med schools (including Imperial), A levels are not the only thing that gets you noticed.

what did you get at AS if you got a C grade they would reject you but if you got AABbb then they would not, it is not about how many rather what rades

I ended up with AAAABC at AS then AAAABa at A level (which was acceptable enough back then ). My own theory about being rejected was an almost complete lack of work experience...

You took 6 AS levels?!? :shock: :shock: :shock: How did they manage to timetable that for you?!? I'm going to assume that you didn't have any free periods then... :? :?

Have been shocked into silence :shock: (very difficult thing to do).

:mrgreen:

PS. lol, everyone, ignore the comment about 'which was acceptable enough back then' :roll: :roll: I'm sure it is still more than acecptable to get AAAABa now!!!! Would be super chuffed :wink:

Admittedly one of those AS's was General Studies I did have about three free periods a week (and didn't go to the GS lectures which did free up another hour a week).

(I love GS, it makes your AS/ A level certificates look a little more impressive... )

no acknowledgement because....

No I never received an acknowledgement from imperial which initally worried me, but i called them up and they have got the application, it never arrived because of the postal strike so I wouldn't worry if you never got 1, they probably do have it.

Good luck peeps.
