Philippa* · 26-03-2009, 12:35 AM

Hi there everyone,

I was wondering who else is out there wanting to apply for 2010 entry as a graduate?

Weakest link style introductions........

I'm Philippa, I'm 24 and currently working as a research assistant in cancer research. I graduated with a BSc in Medical Molecular Bioogy from Cardiff in 2006 and am hoping to study medicine in London in 2010.

Hi,

I'm going to apply for 2010 as well. I'm an experienced nurse (RN with PhD) and will give UKCAT, plus the dreaded GAMSAT 'a go' this year! I'm also 43 years-old so will be among the oldest of any medical student group. That’s proper Mature Student, that is

I'm Rob,

starting work as an HCA in a few weeks (damn CRB hurry up). Applying for 2010 to Nottingham, SGUL, Swansea and Kings. Took the dreaded GAMSAT last september and have tried very hard to blank the memories of the day from my mind. Taking UKCAT and keeping fingers crossed for at least one interview!

Good luck all with applications.

Thankfully I don't need the GAMSAT for any of the London unis (as far as I know!)

Is anyone doing any courses for the UKCAT or anything to prepare?

I'm Natalie, almost 22, on industrial placement for an MSci Chemistry degree. Mostly applying for 5 year courses, but would love to go to Warwick for GEM. Also wish they would introduce GEM in Scotland.

Best of luck to all xxx

Hi guys

Im V, Im currently a mgmt consultant working in the city and feeling thoroughly unfulfilled. I have a first from Oxford in psychology and philosophy and am desperately trying to find an evening course to allow me to take chemistry a-level in a year! I start volunteering on the post-natal ward at my local hospital as soon as my CRB comes through (have previously worked as a GP's receptionist and a Surgeons Secretary so have some relevant experience but not recent and not care-related). I have sort of set my heart on this change now - will be applying Kings, St Georges, St Barts and Cambridge (the latter two pending finding said chem course!) - am a bit restricted because I live with my boyfriend and he has a city job so can only really apply to places in easy reach of London!

and breathe...

It would be great to chat to you guys some more....Slightly worried that I dont have quite such a sciencey background as everyone here....but trying to fix it

Hey guys, i'm Dean, 23 years old and currently studying biomedical sciences and working in an immunology lab. Applying to Warwick, Nottingham and Leicester but have yet to decide on a 4th.

Is anyone doing any courses for the UKCAT or anything to prepare?

Haven't decided whether i am going to do a course yet but i am going to get a few of the books that have been recommended

Good to meet you all
