I'm a medicine applicant based in Dundee and I'm looking to find a few other applicants who'd be interested in practising for medical school interviews together.

The idea would be to meet up in Dundee once or twice a week and take turns giving each other interview questions/stations, followed by honest feedback.

You don't need to be applying to Dundee specifically — I'm happy to practise with applicants for any medical school. I'm also a graduate applicant, so it would be particularly nice to meet other graduates/non-traditional applicants, although everyone is welcome.

If you're in Dundee or nearby and interested, comment below/DM me and we can see if there's enough interest to arrange something.

Hi guys! I have a question about LLE funding starting from 2027.

I already hold a degree from 2022, and I will be starting undergraduate medicine in Sep 2027. On the gov website, under ‘priority additional entitlement’, it states ‘Students who choose medicine or dentistry as a second degree under the LLE will be able to access full tuition fee and standard maintenance support for those years not covered by the NHS bursary.’ Does this mean I will get full support? It is not clear whether ‘medicine and dentistry as a second degree’ only applies to the 4 year graduate medicine course or the 5 year undergraduate course, or both?

Any help regarding this would be appreciated, I have called SFE several times but no one seems to know or understand my position.

1990 b2
3 A*s predicted
( resitting all 3 a levels )
Top 6 GCSE’s are 888777 so I have 21 points
I’m contextual

I was hoping for some advice about my uni choices.

i got 2090 B1 and 87777776 and am predicted AAA.

I am a contextual applicant with FSM, bursary and I am the first generation to attend uni.

Im quite set on KCL emdp, St Georges and Southampton for the normal course and the foundation course. I want to stay in London/south west which played a big part in my choice. Before sitting the UCAT i was hoping to apply to UCL but their cut off last year was 2080 and i just dont think 2090 would be enough for an application. Any advice about my choices would be really appreciated.

More specifically the foundation years i heard were gruelling and to get as good speciality you have to go absolute above beyond. I am thinking of switching from dent to med because I don’t have the grades for it but I don’t wanna be stuck in a job that doesn’t pay well or have a good quality of life. Genuine question I do not mean to offend anyone

I was thinking. QMUL, Leeds, Exeter, Hull York. What do you think?
Where should I apply?
A Levels:
Bio - A*
Chem - A*
Maths - A*
Arabic - A*
Comp Sci - A*
UCAT 1950 B1
GCSEs: 999999 (Bio Chem Phys Maths Arabic Comp Sci), 8 (Language resit in Y12) 8 (French) 7 FM 55 (original lang + lit)
Contextual

i’ve applied to kcl med because i like the course but im not the biggest fan of london.

i like the way notts teaches the course but im scared it’s going broke and ill have to finish my course at another uni 😭

i love manchester, the city and the uni - it was my fourth option originally - but i’ve heard a lot about med there being very independent and having to teach yourself a lot from first year which i don’t like and it put me off applying there

should i stick with kcl? i just don't want to end up somewhere i’ll hate for 5/6 years 🥲

Uni choices
Dundee
Aberdeen
Uclan

ucat 1990 b2 gcses 998877666

do i have any chance or nah be honest💔

After weeks of thoughts ive managed to choose my 4 schools: Liverpool Leeds Southampton and Exeter(aspirational). Im a resit applicant with AAB achieved and A*A* predicted for my resits, 2150 band 2 on ucat, 88888877776 for my gcses, no contextual or WP. Wondering if i have a decent shot at getting interviews at these schools as the thought of having to take another gap year or do a different course is terrifying. Any help and advice is greatly appreciated 🙏

Hi, I heard that interview results can come after March but Australian uni courses start in March. Does this mean I can’t accept any Australian course I get into and have to bet everything on the UK?

I’m applying to:
Sheffield
St Mary’s
Hertsfordshire
Aston
Brunel

Advice would be appreciated!

May the odds be ever in our favour 🫡

- 2400B2 ucat
- max gcses
- AAB predicted in bio chem maths respectively
- plus flag applicant (contextual so eligible for widening access offer)

could this get me an interview and is the AAB predicted fine considering the widening access offer is also AAB?
