Med school appl down 4.5%

[kadhumia_flo]

"The number of home applicants for places in UK medical schools fell by 1.0% in 2007 (Table 1.1). Provisional data for 2008 show a further decrease of around 4.5%

2008 refers to 2008 entry, not 2008 applicants, so this is for the year before us.

yes, it seems the 0.8% is from 2009 entry data just released from UCAS...
how confusing for sBMA to publish this news now...

I forget the years are ahead sometimes...
