Emily'91

Hey! I do know Sussex- I was born in Brighton which I think is part of it- if not, close...I am sorry about the rejection however my UMS were not that good compared to some of the people I know (one of my friends' lowest UMS was like 98%!) , and I think if they do go onto hold something against me it will be those (or the BMAT- i obv. haven't seen the results yet)...however, I am still not getting my hopes up- to get into medicine alone will be so amazing ..
About the King's thing- they did have alot of ethical stuff because it forms part of the questionaire you do before hand, and so they asked me a few questions on my decisions but they weren't nearly as vicious as I thought they would be! Are you applying there? Where else are you applying?

Hello again!You were right about the statistics - it was definitely not the grade thing lol! But in answer to your request I got an invitation for interview yesterday for the 8th so they are probably going to get in contact soon...apparently they were delayed because they recieved the BMAT one day after they were meant to *rolls eyes*- excuses! I do live in England- in the South...have you heard of Surrey? It is like the countryside outside London. What about you?
Oh and I think I have most probably failed my BMAT also- it was section 1 I found the hardest: I got a 3 (yes 3!!) in one of my past practice papers...

Oh thank goodness- I thought I was the only one applying to Newnham! I do not know why there is so few of us- I mean you can walk on the grass there lol! At least it means less competition, although the stats for Newnham applications were pretty low last year so I anticipated a huge surge this year. Luckily I seem to be wrong! Anyway- in answer to your question, I am incredibly worried about a lack of interview offer....I mean they have had our BMAT results for days now! What else can they be waiting for? Could you please inform me if you do get an interview offer and I can see if I have reason to be even more worried! I can do the same for you if you want. Yay for Newnhamites (well, not yet...but hopefully)!

im on my gap year as of this september and i will be going to america to work in my uncles surgery (hes a gp), working in a care home, volunteering at the hospital and in a chinese medicine store and getting more shadowing experience with a heamatologist. so pretty average i guess.

I see your thinking of applying to cambridge, what college may i ask? Its just i applied there last year but got rejected after interview.

So prett

Yeh it was a lack of caring experience/community involvement, i had just about everything else, but with medicine if you miss just one box your out lol. Are you applying for 2009 entry?
