I intend to apply for 2008, i have phoned a few med schools and they told me they accept matric certificates with endorsement.
By the way WELL DONE on your offer,no more worries for you!!

thanks.

if they accept your qualifications then you're sorted.

did you ask them if the grades u got meet their minimum requirements?

**lolozie** · 14-04-2007, 03:17 AM

I emailed them the grades that i got, i'm still waiting for a reply on that cause i could'nt give them all the info on the phone.
I'm a bit stressed out about that, maybe i should have finished my degree in S.A.

were u doing med in S.A.

don't worry too much. theres still loads of time to think thing through. believe it or not some of the unis are still interviewing candidates.

Yes, i did my first year there at Wits university, i'm just crossing my fingers now.
Thanks for the encouragement.

if you've done first year then getting through interview etc wont be too much of a problem.
