Hi,

ive not heard anything just yet. Hey guys, I wanted to know, if I have put down on the form that I received EMA and my mother recieved disability allowance, would they be classed as different items on the criteria list? Because, I've got a feeling that I might be rejected on these grounds. The supplementary form had the two items seperate but the administrator had told me they are both classed as the same item.
But to be fair, I came from a crappy secondary school and got onto a good grammar school for 6th form. plus i had a lot of personal family problems which, hopefully, will be taken into consideration.

Does anyone know whether or not my circumstances mean I would NOT be eligible?

Thanks guys

Hey ana. You know, your situation sounds alot like mine =)
My mother gets disability allowance, so i get ema too.
I went to quite a shyte secondary school and moved to a different county and a new grammar school.

I've noticed that the criteria varies among different resources...
i would think that your ema and your mother's disability allowance are different things since ema is dealing with financial issues whereas your mother is a different mitigating issue altogether. So have you already called them?

Nope. I emailed a lady on the admin team and she was telling me that they are both classed as the same thing. The thing is, on my form, I didn't put the fact that my mother is disbaled as a mitigating issue- it was something else along those lines that was hindering my school studies. but when i sent off my form,i attached a photocopy of the HM Inland Revenue TAX thing..and its clearly stated on there that my mother is disabled...so hopefully they take that into consideration too.

Where else have you applied, Kite---Line? (cool name btw)

ah... well, they should pick it up from the letter.

Other disadvantaging circumstances
These could include for example
the death of a parent, partner or sibling in the past year long-term care of a sick or disabled family member serious disability or illness (subject to fitness to practise considerations) being from a travelling family.
• • • • This list is not exhaustive.
Good luck ^_^

I applied to 3 A100 courses; Leeds, PMS (rejection), Southampton, A104 at UEA and This one.
I applied to the three a100 courses intending for normal entry... that was before i was actually told what my predicted grades were (BBB - I'm unpredictable aparently).....How 'bout urself?

I have already got my Alevel results which were BBC ; Chem, bio and maths in order. I applied to BM6 and a104 too but got rejections from both so Lincoln is really my last hope. It is actually the best out of all of them since its closest to home. i live in the west midlands.

how did your jan exams go?

Hey, so are you a reapplicant then?
Don't worry, i'm sure you'll do well with lincoln! It'l be worth it.
Nottingham is definitely my favourite -.-

I dunno how my jan exams went, they were only AS modular resits.
i get the results on march 11, same day as my UEA interview. =)

Oohh youre so lucky to get an interview from UEA. Im not a reapplicant, but Im a gap year student. i didn't know what I wanted to do last year.

I m so tired...i dont know what to do if i get rejection from Lincoln. ive still got clinical sci at bradford. but i dont know whether or not i should take that up because its not 100% definate like lincoln.

Well, They say they favour people from east anglia, and i once was a resident of norfolk.. so that coulda played a part... T_T
I realllyy wanted to do a gap year! What did you do during it? i wanted to go to somewhere like nepal...

Hmmmm...I don't konw about you, but if i had no other options, i'd defer a year and try again and keep at it!
Im sure you consolidated your choice in going into medicine during your gap year, so i'm sure it's the right choice for you.
