AFTER Bsc ...graduate entry

[>>>]

Hey all,

what is the main entrance test ,after graduating from a Bsc, to do 4yr graduate entry medicine?

i know its GAMSAT for st georges , swansea and nottingham but im not sure whether its only UKCAT for the others.

Other than the GAMSAT universities, almost all use the UKCAT.

The main test is probably the UKCAT... But the GAMSAT universities are generally slightly more under-subscribed because it's a horrible exam to take and applicants tend to try to avoid it!

Keele is GAMSAT.

Newcastle and GKT both have spectacularly high UKCAT requirements. Warwick is 660. I don't know anything about the rest.

Liverpool and birmingham won't expect any exam, but liverpool want a high 2:i, ABB at A'level and at least a year between BSc graduation and med school start. Birmingham want a 1st, regardless of what their prospectus says.

Swansea use the gamsat differently to notts and georgies. Swan uses it as part of the bigger picture, whereas nott and georgies will use it as a cutoff. Which one is best depends entirely upon how confident you are in your UKCAT score.

There's always 5 year courses too, remember.

I hope this helped. I'm sorry if any information is inaccurate.

Just to add my tuppence, Newcastle GEP UKCAT isnt that high. I got 660 and got an interview. Now, I didnt get in but my interview was really bad espec as I didnt really want to go there in the end so heart wasnt in it.

Good Luck!

Oxford still do their own random test too don't they?

[quantum_iris]

No, I think Oxford just require UKCAT. The "random tests" are common for undergraduate degrees though... (I had to do a maths test to get in to physics).
I know I can only talk about when I applied for MPhys, but out of all the interviews I went to, the ones in Oxford were BY FAR the most stressful. Maybe it's different for GE, but I'm definitely bearing this in mind if I apply for GE medicine (though I'll probably still apply to Oxford anyway).

I mean for the grad program Oxford certainly used to have their own test.

I think its BMAT for some schools also, and a few of the schools that use UKCAT dont have a cut off, like warwick, who i was told look at the score compared to everyone else and ditch everyone who gets below the averages, which was about 600 in 08.
