Matures FAQ Document

[exms]

I'm afraid the FAQ is rapidly becoming stale (as these kind of documents do without constant maintenance) and I am finding it very difficult to find the time to do the research to keep it updated - real life and med school work keep getting in the way.

I am in the process of writing an update now, but I am just amazed by how quickly the document has gone stale (and how quickly time has gone by).

In fact, I find myself doubting that I'm going to be able to find the time to update it again after this: I am too far away from the admissions process, so every time I touch it I need to do research and have to simplify areas because I just haven't got the time to delve into the nitty-gritty of, say, the DfES eligibility documents. If I have so much difficulty finding free time to do that now, I can't see it happening once I start my FP1 post next year.

There are also many excellent resources that weren't available when it was first created, such as Medschoolsonline and the BMA 'how to become a doctor' document, so I wonder whether its usefulness has run its course.

Thoughts, comments, swearwords, fish, all appreciated.

Hi Guys,

Im a third yr physiotherapy student on line to get a 2.1, Im extremely keen to apply for 2009 entry on any accelerated entry course.
I have GCSE's grades: 3 A* AND 7 A's, however A-levels are: biology B and chemistry D physics D. I also got AS psychology B.
I know most of the accelerated courses say they dont consider A-Levels, but I cant help thinking they wouldnt like the look of my poor chemistry and physics results (After all it is medicine)
I aim to take the UKCAT in the summer.
Can anyone advise me on whether Iam wasting my time? Does anyone know of a similar situation and how it worked out? I'd really appreciate your responses.
Thanks in advance.
Jennymed
