2nd favourite is not good enough! lol, fear enough if you have the luxury of a million A* at GCSEs. Last year was officially the last year I could have got in on my GCSEs. 2008 intake are too clever for me!

hehe.. Birmingham's not my fav. I added it last minute cos of the GCSE requirements (and I like the course structure)- kind of like a back-up. But I'm warming to it... it might be my... second... favourite...

Sorry for the late reply. Been away. The course structure has changed alot since I was in my preclinical yrs but it's all do-able if u work consistently i.e dont take a week off at a time without doing any work. Anatomy was always the most time-consuming part of the preclinical yrs so you had to do some everyday (or atleast most days). How I study isnt a good example cos I tend to do it when I need to but I also tend to look up stuff I find interesting from hospital days or when you are set learning prescriptions in community medicine (GP stuff from year 1). I think it is definitely worth doing after ur degree but the 4 yr graduate entry course would be ideal for u if you're willing to work hard in the 1st yr. It is highly competitive and u'd need a 1st class degree or 2.1 if from oxbridge. And if u'r applying for a 5 yr course, you need a mininum of 6A* (this is info from last yr's requirements) to be in with a realistic chance. good luck with ur studies! x

hey im just wondering, whats the studying/lectures like, are they really hard, how do you study etc? im in my second year doing forensic molecular biology, and thinking of going into med at bham when i finish, just wondering if it would be worth doing 5 years of study. ontop of my 3yr degree.. if u get what i mean. =]
