I don't want to do GAMSAT again

I've sat it so many times, it obliterates my soul!

I knew my result would be valid for 2 years but I didn't realise that acer would send the better of the two! Does this mean that I should only state my gamsat mark on UCAS if I'm not planning to sit the gamsat again in sept?

I don't think you even have to put your GAMSAT mark on your UCAS form, it automatically gets sent if you apply to a GAMSAT uni. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!

If you sat the GAMSAT the year before then you have to enter it on UCAS. But if you're submitting an application in the same year as taking the test, the results get sent to the university when they get sent to you. I got 57 too and am thinking I will retake the GAMSAT. Completely underestimated it this year and didnt put enough work in so decided retaking it isnt going to make anything worse.
When people are calling Jane are you actually asking where you are on the list? This stalemate is horrible!!

I'm so fed up of waiting on the tiniest chance. Might be time to start looking for a PhD.

Don't give up hope just yet. It's not over till it's over.

A few people here on the reserve list have got offers now...how many does that mean are left out of us on this forum? I've lost count!

I'm worried about putting all my eggs in one basket. It's funny because that's what I've been doing for years!

As for how many people still hanging on by their fingernails, I've lost count!
