Arts major with a bit of psychology, maths and computer science...

Can anyone please tell me if I am correct in thinking that GKT is the only 4 year GEP programme I can apply to if I only sit MSAT?????

Also, are there any 5 year programmes I can do in London if I don't have the sciences from school. I went directly to university from AS as I had good marks.

I have an honours degree with French as my major, then a bit of everything (foreign degree) in support (computer science, maths... It was a special programme (languages and management) as well as an MA in applied linguistics. I also did a level 3 cognitive psychology course through the Open University worth 60 credits (if that means anything to anyone!) and got a first.

I have 2 small children as well as being on lots of committees and charities etc. so don't have the time to study for GAMSAT!

Oh dear, what a mess!!!

No, Barts and Warwick use MSAT too. (http://www.acer.edu.au/tests/university/msat/intro.html ) I don't know if they have A level requirements.

So you mean you did AS levels but not A levels? I have never heard of anyone doing that before. Crazy!

To answer your question, no, there are no 5 year programs in London which don't require at least some science A levels. Even the access course at Kings has a requirement that you have A2s including Chemistry. I know the GPEP at Kings doesnt have A level requirements but really you should probably be aware that almost everyone who applies has very good A levels, in fact most people have a string of postgraduate qualifications!

Presumably you aren't planning where to apply in 4 days time (?!) so in that case you have plenty of time to sit A levels as evening classes etc. Without A level Chemistry you are going to be seriously held back, I think. You could always try calling the places you are interested in applying and seeing if they'll consider your application, but usually they will only waive the A level requirements if you have Chemistry (/something with Chemistry content) at degree level.
