Graduate entry medicine

Hi everybody, Well as far as I know the requirement is a 2.i degree and a possible 700+ ukcat would be ideal. However does any1 know what proportion of grad applicants apply with a 2.i and what proportion with a 1st? As i would have thought they wus prefer to offer places to those with Firsts. Also how many grad applicant Oxford take on per year? And I was under the impression that a-level grades weren't taken into account but i have recently been told otherwise.
The reason I ask is because my lecturers reckon no one from my university would stand a chance at getting into oxford even with a 2.i.

So if any1 could help?

I'm a current GE student at Oxford at you don't need a 1st. Lots of people got in with a 2.i.

"We accept that some excellent students are "late developers", and so we will not insist on excellent A-levels or an outstanding first degree result (though we would normally expect two science A-levels and a 2:i or better, or a GPA above 3.5)"

yes I saw this on the website but ofcourse this does not indicate how many applicant wid a 2.i actually make it to offers

I am fairly certain that usually, approximately 1/3 of the class graduated with a 2.i. But this needs serious verification.

I am currently an undergrad student at Oxford - but not on the GEP course. Come to our open day if you live close by!

I don't live close by but I am planning to go the open day. what year of study are you in?

It might be a little tenuous if I label myself as a "first year" so let's stick with a "soon to be first year". :P October. Not too far away now!!

I joined the forum just to see if medicine may be something I want to look into later on. (Currently standing at the fork where both medical research and clinical medicine appear to be equally appealing). *waiting to be inspired*
Are you planning to apply for GEP programs this coming cycle?
