They don't look at A-levels at all just your degree (fortunately for me!), unless it hasn't got enough biology/chemistry in it, which yours will.
Hello again, thanks for the advice and info, i jus wanted to ask you if barts look at alevel grades etc, i'll get bak to you if i need more help with my application if thats ok with you.
Hi Zammi, I also got a 2.1 for my degree (Zoology) although I also did a masters - however they only consider at your BSc as far as I'm aware, so that should be completely fine. You will need a good UKCAT score of at least above 650 average because they rank the UKCATs first and foremost and then select the top X amount for consideration for interview (which they then go through statements etc). It's possible that a lower UKCAT score might get to interview with a killer statement, degree etc but it would be much more unlikely. At the selection centre at Barts, most people I talked to had a UKCAT of around 700. In my application I tried to give examples of responsibilities that I had been tasked with in previous jobs/experience and what I had learned from working with vulnerable people and tried to emphasize that I had the qualities of a doctor detailed on the BMA website (really worth looking at - especially for structuring and answering questions at the interview!). I didn't put that I had wanted to be a doctor from birth, because I hadn't, instead I wrote about how my experiences academically and at work had lead me to medicine as my career choice. Good luck with the application, let me know if you need anymore advice.
Hello, im a second year biomedical science student & will be applying to the GEP in barts, i was woundering if you could give me some advice on what i should do to make my application considerable... Another thing is that is 2.1 in my degree good enough to secure a place plus having a good UKCAT score? What did u get in you degree?
