Certificate in Science Discussion Thread

Agree with Saq2k7, all the credit does go to Tangliss for helping and supporting us through the selection process. As a medical student, her hectic schedule may not allow her to dedicate so much time to this forum, but she does. She doesn't have to do this, but she has chosen to do so, only for our benefit. Therefore, people around here need to appreciate the fact and respect her.....Thank you Tangliss!!!!!!!

Hey Guys, ive still not heard anything from anywhere...lol

[Tango]

Good luck, hope you hear soon! BTW, have u heard from all the other uni's?

[Tangliss]

The waiting must be awful. You could always contact Emma Jubbs to see when more offers etc, are going out? At least you would know when to expect something.

hi. is the certificate in science an easier way of getting into med school

No it’s not, you have a lower chance of getting an offer due to the level of competition. Have a look through this website.

sunny_d, is right. Low number of places hence high competition. Just because they ask for lower A'level grades compared to direct entry into medical school doesn't mean it's easier to get into. You still have to take UKCAT, get the grades, have an interview, fulfil additional criteria, and pass the certificate to get onto the 5 year programme at Nottingham

You're right, this is the last year the course is running. Nottingham and Lincoln are meeting next week to finalise
