Yeah, I'm currently studying at the college of West Anglia. I went in straight after doing my A Levels lol.
Oh are you at Lancaster then at the moment? I am still waiting for Lanc...they are too slow for me!  I aplied there co'z I know not many people know of the course = less competition lol. Plus they don't look at my ugly UKCAT score lol. 
Could you tell me, from your memory, what questions you got asked on? Pwease? 
Yeah, the NHS gives grant to medics who have a household income of 17k and below but no I'm not eligible for that. And besides you apply for it before the 2nd year of your Medicine course begins, right? So it basically can cover your 2nd-5th year tuition fees. |
Hey, I just guessed at the premed as you mentioned a one year intensive course. No i'm not at Lancaster, I had them as my third choice - i'm actually down south studying medicine at the moment.
I had my interview at Lancaster over a year ago now, but from memory an emphasis was placed upon my reasons for wanting to actually study medicine rather than my knowledge of the profession - although its pretty obvious that they expect you to know quite a substantial amount about persuing medicine as a career.
This year Lancaster was expected to receive the same amount of applications per place as other medical schools, but for much fewer places - so by the looks of it, competition will be fierce (Just as any other school really though). However, having said that, the fact that you are on an access course may well stand you in good stead. I'm guesssing that the college advised you on which universities you stood the best chance of being accepted to?
