Have you actually been to Leicester before? I strongly recommend that you do if you haven't yet done so.
A few months ago, I was keen on applying to Leicester because it looked brilliant from the prospectus and the website. I visited the Open Day in June, and it just didn't grab me. I couldn't see myself happily living there for at least five years of my life, so I ruled it out.
I think location is a big thing to consider when thinking about your choices.GCSEs: A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*AB

Yeah that is pretty much the same as me, I went to the medical focus open day, guessing thats the same one you did, and recently ive decided to completely drop leicester as an option, I was at the time very impressed with the medical school but yes the location did not strike me as somewhere i wanted to be.
Am on a work placement atm and i spoke to a F1 today who when asking me where i was going to apply before i could give an answer said ' dont apply to leicester' he had been and said the teaching was rubbish, it surprised me but he seemed to feel quite strongly about it! Anyway i fear we are veering slightly off the NZ topic here...Applying for 2009 entry
