Certificate in Science Discussion Thread

From what I have read people, including yourself, were not mislead or 'lied' to, there was a breakdown in communication between Lincoln and Nottingham.

My advice to you is stop moaning about the past and look to the future!

For answers to some of your question please refer to the very first page of this thread.

As for transferring to medicine from pharmacy after one year, I'm affraid this can't be done.

As for Cert Sci being in Extra, unfortunatly it is not. Have you thought about taking a year out a reapplying next year?

if you can get an offer for pharmacy then you can pretty much land an offer for medicine, macca.

you dont need to use an A2M route, and i wuld add that you shuldnt when there are needier peeple about.

i wuld reapply macca. u will get in, i promise u, if your interest is in this career.

but i don't know what i am going to do right now.

get an hca job and start your 'ealthcare career now.

i have to wait until results day..and the thing is everything is going in my head right now.... what do you think about reapplying to same universities as before..well this time i applied ...

as long as you ave good reason to apply there, and none of them ad good reason to reject you furst time round (ie you were a fool at interview, you showed no interesdt in the career etc, and NOT reasons like you didnt get AAA, if you get me).

oxford (my Bmat was poor because i was so sick unlucky me

) but if i apply this time i am not going to apply .. OXFORD

good, its too far behind the other choices anyway.

choose places you want, and them places will tend to choose you if you get that message across in your PS.

aye.
i didnt ask you wat experience you 'ave done for getting into med skool, macca.

i advised you to spend your GAP year doing an HCA job to start your ealthcare career off now for your own career interests if you get me. going to asia for a week counts for nuffing in comparison, in fact its probably less than nuffing.

v. important difference, macca.

dunno why you fort different, but you mite be too geared towards 'getting in' than 'pursuing your career of choice'. Do the latter more and you wuld seriously improve your chances of getting into your desired field.

goo luk, macca!

I would reapply if I got AAB

Think very carefully about where you wanna apply to though, thats a massive factor in bein successful or not. Also by this, I don't mean...apply to what uni has given you the idea that it's an 'easy' med sch to get into, I mean apply to uni's who are looking for what you can offer and bring.

All the best!
