UK UNDERGADUATE MEDICINE UCAS MIMINUM LC 2012 AND HOW TO DO IT ANY YEAR

drrkpd

NOTE
Have compiled list of MINIMUM LC REQUIREMENTS for students interested in applying to UK via UCAS in 2012. In fact I have also left the pathway so as someone else can do it in any year and indeed for any subject.

Perhaps the forum should start a new thread as seems to be in many peoples minds with the shocking increase in points for Irish Medicine this year.
It would be really helpful if any Irish students currently doing medicine in UK could tell others where they are and how easy/difficult it was to get in.

As regards the question of fees I think that Scotland charge no fees to EU ie Irish undergraduates. Fees in England will definitely be £9,000 per year BUT Irish students are eligible for a student loan and that is low interest and repayment only when you earn over £15,000 per year but again maybe current students can comment.

If this is wrong forum sure moderator will move. Good Luck!!

2.YOU SHOULD START WORK ON YOUR PERSONAL STATEMENT NOW -UK STUDENTS HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THEM FOR A LONG TIME ALREADY!!!

PERHAPS CURRENT IRISH STUDENTS IN UK COULD TELL US WHICH UNIVERSITIES THEY ARE IN AND SO WHICH UNIVERSITIES GENUINELY ACCEPT IRISH STUDENTS

Hope this saves you a few hours work. I am sure your careers guidance teachers have already given you this advice!!!!!:D

UnholyGregor

oh god.. when that says ''AAAAAA'' does that mean you need 6 a's to get accepted?
my heart just literally sank about 2 inches into my chest.....

UnholyGregor

540 is 6 A2s... (on average)

90 x 6 = 540, plus alot of people bank on the HPAT and do sh1t and then cry about it on boards.

UnholyGregor

3 a1's, and 3 b1's is 555, so you can even afford a few b2's, or a2's, or even a c, at a stretch

Delighted at some response and hope have helped some people. Would still love to hear from Irish students who are currently in UK doing medicine to see which Universities really take Irish students but maybe they are too busy working!!

I don't know - apologies!! I did it I think because it was the header but didn't realise it would stay that way in forum. I can't change it now I am afraid so it will have to stay. Even in Capitals didn't get much attention.

Sid_Justice

maybe it would have more impact in LEaving cert forum?
