What degree did you do before applying as a grad?

what degree did you do before applying as a grad for medicine? I am planning on applying as a grad with an Economics degree? Anybody else got a non-science degree?

[DH2005]

Yup. 2.i in Law from Birmingham, 2001.

Nice!

Yeah. History. I was originally planning on doing an MA in Medieval History... even got a place at Cardiff! I'm thinking getting into med school is going to be harder.

What classification do you hold, for your BA? Do you have science A levels, or are you looking into 6-year medicine/Access to Medicine as your way in?

its good to hear that other people who dont have science degrees are going to apply for medicine. Bit worried about when im asked why i didnt do medicine to begin with.

BSc Computer Science/Software Engineering - science in the loosest possible sense!

I've got an MA in Psychology, which quite a lot of the universities I sent preliminary enquiries to didn't count as a science. I've also got a PhD in Experimental Psychology, specialising in neuroscience, and I did Higher Chemistry and Biology when I was at school, so I'm probably a non-typical applicant with a "non-science" degree.

I got two offers, and withdrew my other two applications, and I'm off to Edinburgh in September.

Good luck to the non-scientists!
