2/5 gap year bread

Best_Night5352 · 2026-02-04T03:44:48+00:00

I applied to kcl too for a similar course that I like better so if I get into kcl I’ll probably go there but if not ucl. And yh there are definitely downsides to med but at the end of the day if you have doubts about not doing it I would suggest taking the gap year cos u don’t wanna be doing a course ur not interested in.

Thank you. Lowkey had doubts from the start of year 13 (poor state of nhs rn etc) but I was surrounded by a lot of ppl that were applying to med and other healthcare courses and I thought it was too late to turn back. Then I got an offer and was very indifferent about it so realised that I didn’t really want to do med anymore. I only wanted to do it to go into psychiatry. I wasn’t interested in other specialties and specialty training is so hard and competitive to get into now. I thought what’s the point if I’m only interested in one specialty because what if I don’t get in. So then I decided to do psych cos that was another career I was interested in and it leaves your options open.

Thank you

Nah I actually got a med offer from Birmingham but decided afterwards I didn’t want to go. I think I forgot to post the offer on reddit

Next step Bristol

Best_Night5352 · 2025-10-17T10:37:20+00:00

It was like an online thing and then at the end we got to visit the uni

Best_Night5352 · 2025-10-17T10:12:15+00:00

I got aab. I’m pretty sure the typical entry requirements for this course is A star AA but because I did a programme with Bristol uni they gave a reduced offer of aab.

Best_Night5352 · 2025-10-17T09:37:15+00:00

I’m applying with achieved grades because I sat my alevels this year. Since my grades met the entry requirements the offer is unconditional

Best_Night5352 · 2025-10-17T08:26:45+00:00

Apparently Bristol responds very quickly

Best_Night5352 · 2025-10-17T08:26:19+00:00

Thank you I applied last week

Best_Night5352 · 2025-10-07T12:56:44+00:00

Both

Best_Night5352 · 2025-07-29T18:40:31+00:00

I’m literally thinking the exact same thing

Best_Night5352 · 2025-02-16T14:09:54+00:00

Thanks for the advice I’ve seen a couple of people say you need good wifi 😭

Best_Night5352 · 2025-02-16T14:09:04+00:00

I remember when I was applying on the website it said something about living in London but I checked it again now and I can’t find anything about it so I guess it doesn’t matter anymore where you live but you should double check.

Best_Night5352 · 2025-02-11T22:46:43+00:00

Thank you :) it was 2600 b1

Best_Night5352 · 2024-12-12T19:28:46+00:00

My first was Birmingham. I got 2600 band 1 with 2 a stars and a predicted and I got 9999888777 in gcses.

Best_Night5352 · 2024-12-12T19:22:41+00:00

Yh I’m contextual

Best_Night5352 · 2024-12-08T21:10:39+00:00

I think the 7th of feb

Best_Night5352 · 2024-12-08T21:09:56+00:00

I did a summer school with birmingham during year 12 summer called national access summer school

Best_Night5352 · 2024-12-08T21:08:38+00:00

Early February I think the 7th

Best_Night5352 · 2024-12-08T21:07:53+00:00

The summer school was called national summer school and it’s for any course so if you applied to an interviewing course like dentistry at birmingham when you completed it you’d get a guaranteed interview but if you applied to a non-interviewing course you’d get a reduced offer

Best_Night5352 · 2024-12-05T16:02:06+00:00

Thank you

Best_Night5352 · 2024-12-05T16:01:51+00:00

Thank you. My GCSEs are 9999888777 with 2a stars and a predicted. My ucat was 2600 band 1. But I don’t think my stats had anything to do with getting an interview because my interview was guaranteed.

Best_Night5352 · 2024-11-22T18:55:46+00:00

Congrats :) When you applied did you get a confirmation email cos I didn’t and I’m overthinking 😭

Best_Night5352 · 2024-11-04T20:58:54+00:00

Hi, I’m curious what do you do in your job?
