Are you one of those kids who came second but whose Mummy told them they were really a winner, 'just in a different way.'

Fuzzy thinkers like you make me laugh.

Oh, and by the way, Keele is also one of the less competitive medschools. Get three other rejections last year, did we?

I had an offer, missed the offer (AAC), but someone's dropped out so I get their place."


So not only are you a fuzzy thinker, at a second tier medschool, but you also had to get in the backdoor because you couldn't even achieve an AAC offer? I'm sorry, but you'll forgive me if I have absolutely no respect for you or opinion.

Hi Kickerz. I'm a grad with an offer for Keele. I recall reading a post from you saying that you would recommend reading over a level bio before starting medicine (am i correct?). Since its been 3 years since i studied a level, and i would actually like to do some reading, I figured I would look over it. I was gonna buy an AS/A level bio revision guide, but wondered if a human bio rev guide is more appropriate to medicine?? (General bio will also cover plants). What do you think?? Thanks

Nice one. You one lucky dude

wow i just saw you are going to keele. congratz dude! You go for clearing? Is it a 5 year course? Can you tell me how you did it, incase i don't get in this year. Thanks

I am so pleased that you are now going to Keele, I am sure you will get somewhere to live!!

Okk, thanks. So i see you are taking a gap year. Anything planned to do? I.e. work experience, tour? Also when did you hear last year whether you had got an interview or not? Because i am deciding whether to do a interview course in october or november time. Do you think this would be helpfull ?(costs £250, get £200 back if you do not get an offer)

Hi,

I was just reading you're comments about leeds. I have already applied there for 2010 (sent of the UCAS application already). What would i get for the academia section? I have 4 A*'s, 3 A's and 3 B's at GCSE. As level i got 4 A's and for A2 i am predicted A*A*A. Also do they mark you're UKCAt score? If so what might i be scored with a score of 675. I know you won't know exactly what the marks they will give but just wanted to know you're opinion on what they MIGHT give.

Thanks

Oh sorry to hear you JUST missed your offer Surely you can do retakes and apply again? They'ver interviews and given you an offer already so they know that they like you. Are you taking a gap year now? With Leeds you were let down by academia, what were you A2 predicted grades and what was your score on your grades? Because if you were rejected on that basis then I probably don't stand a chance either :S

Hey, thanks for your reply, I should br applying to one or two of the unis you suggested I'm going to apply to one "higher" uni such as Notts/leeds/southampton and was wondering if you got an interview from any of these? Thanks P.S. congratz on getting an offer

Hey, just read one of your posts and saw that you have a similar GCSE profile to me and was wondering if you got any offers for medicine with your GCSE grades? Mine were AAAAAAABBC (C in French :P) and didn't know where to apply with these grades. Thanks
