MTAS app (UKFPO app) Changes for 2009 APP

**dudey** · 14-09-2009, 03:51 PM

Just wanted to check if I have got these changes to the application form for 2009/2010 right:

1. There are now 6 questions as opposed to 7 for PART 2 of the application form.
2. The question on other academic achievements is now worth 10 points (with 6 points allocated to additional degrees and 4 points allocated to publications/prizes/posters)
3. The remainer of the questions on part 2 are all worth 10 points.

Is this correct?

Also a query about the academic achievements section. Seeing as additional degrees now count for 6 points, does this mean a 1st class/phd = 6pts, 2:1 =5 pts, 2:2= 4 points and 3rd = 3 points?

Cheers

It's all in the 2010 handbook - downloadable from the UKFPO website.

Do you get opportunities to do degrees while at med school because it seems unfair if you're a school leaver who had applied.

Yes. You can take a year out to intercalate and gain another degree, or at some uni's it is part of their standard course (Oxbridge, some of the london ones, St Andrews, Notts, Soton).
