Yes... it's staggering how appealing housework becomes when there's revision to do. In the uplead to my law school finals, my room had never been so tidy!

I agree with Megane1976 - this is a brilliant resource - many thanks to all who contributed.

Section 13 - Personal Experiences was particularly inspirational. Don't say 'I can't do it' - instead ask 'why can't I do it?'

I'm in Wollongong, Australia - so I just read upside-down

Just noticed that Peninsula is missing from this table http://www.geocities.com/alexism1974...#_Toc103139078

Thought I'd mention it, even though I'm not applying there or anything

That's a list of 4 year courses - Peninsula is a 5 year.

There is a(t least one) error in that table though - I've just had an email to tell me that Kings should be down as having 24 places not 40. Will update it once these exams are over, ho hum.

Ahh my bad, was getting confused because they use GAMSAT.

Trivial update, but since it's coming around to *that* time of year again...

Just had an email from Geocities: apparently the Mature FAQ is too popular and is hitting its bandwidth limit so may sometimes be unavailable. The perils of success

The Word version of the Mature FAQ is available on http://www.sucs.org/~alexism/maturefaq.doc. I'm also happy to email a copy to anyone who can't access it on the web for whatever reason.

Cheers,
