yes, its important to be med school specific, i agree totally.

there is unfortunately a HERD mentality in the schools , where you compelled to study a lot of subjects becos you perceive that everyone else is doing that (and to be fair, most med students are at that stage book-a-holics, as opposed to being clinician apprentices.

you ned to dig and delve into any career you are going into, and you need to be aware that every source of information has its own agenda in telling you fings that distort that info, including medics, prospecti, staff and friends of friends.

honours is awarded if you get distinction in clinical and written exams in finals regardless of your performance in phase1/2.
alternatively, you have to reach a certian number of points based on phase 1, IPE , SSCs (points change every year).

Is this generally or specific to Leicester?

might sound like a stupid question, but how much is a distinction?

clc26, thats a surprise.
Does that mean that irregardless of how a student performed in his previous years, he will still get honours if he got double distinction in finals?
