There is no harm in ordering prospectuses now- 'cept when u look at them instead of revising :S (like sum1 i know...). Just remember to get the right year i got 2008 edinburgh... neva managed to get the resent one... u'll want 2010 entry i think. Some places may not do them yet but they generally are by jan/feb. Also u apply to the unis through ucas next sept/oct time, there is an early limit for u compared to everyone else (except oxbridge, vets, vet science, and dentists.

Right, had to read that a few times...can you type in plain English please? It makes it a lot easier to both read and take you seriously and it doesn't take that much longer to type on a full keyboard.

May I ask why you suddenly changed your mind? Going from business to medicine is quite a change of heart!

One week of work experience isn't really enough at all, needs to be a weekly thing if you can. Nursing home is your best bet.

Durham and Newcastle are essentially the same course. I do believe you graduate with a Newcastle degree. You can apply to Durham as a single choice or you can apply to Newcastle and specify either the Stockton campus or the Newcastle campus as where you would like to study.
At Durham, which actually takes place in Stockton, you complete phase 1 of the 2 phase course at Stockton and then you complete the second phase in one of four clinical training bases in the North-East.

Sorry, that's probably even more vague than you wanted. I'm tired now.

Yes, I do text. However, I write when I have a keyboard infront of me. Grow up!

just of them things you cant explain.

Heh, just one of those things hey!

Yeh thats basically right to be honest. Basically I visited newcastle on a open day and really liked it, nd i went to durham nd really like it there too, was going to put 'E' on the form for either but I qualify for the partners scheme (possible to get in with 3B's in theory but have to do a wk project thing) needed to put newcastle 'N' on so instead of 'E'. So with about a wk b4 sending the application in I could have picked some random place but decided to go for both instead.

Durham in a relatively new campus (all ensuite) in Stockton yes, nd has fewer places so i guess that itse more personal nd easier to get help. Its also collegic (spelling soz) which i like the idea of there is only 2 at stockton stevenson and john snow nd not much difference but u are still able to play pranks and things on the other outside durham colleges without having to watch your bak. (they have there own bar aswell....)

Hope this helps.
