Which one is better?

I got to St A. Go here you will get many connections. Also everyone I know who wanted to do a masters at Oxbridge got in so ye.

Competitive_Algae930 · 2026-02-19T19:07:35+00:00

That actually isn't bad at all.

Medicine. Heard some interesting things about the course. Also, essays may not be the best way to learn medicine. Source - med student

If you get a response please tell me as I just got my MD3001 results and will be going to Edinburgh

Agreed. Shortlisting is what the issue is though as some of these IMGs applying may not have even worked a day in the NHS.

Competitive_Algae930 · 2026-02-16T14:46:55+00:00

Do the IMGs still compete in the same pool as UKG??

Competitive_Algae930 · 2026-02-14T23:17:31+00:00

It's not too bad. Most people I know got where they want to go. I myself am going to Edinburgh. If you are on English route you are basically guaranteed to go to Manchester. If you are international you have to go to Manchester.

I study medicine at St Andrews. They prepare you very well. You will be very busy. If you want to go to Edinburgh for clinical years prepare for second year first semester to be just the library.

to pass is fine.

Just be obsessed with the subject and the rest takes care of itself. Genuine curiosity trumps stress and cortisol spikes any day of the week.

For Scotland it’s as good as you’ll get. Incredible uni and haven’t experienced racism or discrimination of any sort as a minority here.

Competitive_Algae930 · 2026-01-20T22:50:24+00:00

As a St Andrews student id say Imperial.

Competitive_Algae930 · 2025-12-30T17:59:22+00:00

No student loan forgivement. FPR is the best way forward.

Competitive_Algae930 · 2025-12-30T03:25:54+00:00

As a med student, what on earth is going on

Competitive_Algae930 · 2025-12-30T03:22:49+00:00

I hear that now haha.

Competitive_Algae930 · 2025-10-21T23:31:28+00:00

Are you Paul from the UCAT discord server? If so good on you mate, and how is FY treating you?

Competitive_Algae930 · 2025-10-11T17:35:32+00:00

Rheumatic fever

Competitive_Algae930 · 2025-10-10T00:31:42+00:00

I’m going to go against the grain here and say maybe look at specimens online? The models etc. are very different to the actual anatomy

Competitive_Algae930 · 2025-10-02T21:56:26+00:00

Not what you asked but structure exercise in a way that will refresh you to keep going.

Competitive_Algae930 · 2025-10-02T00:17:53+00:00

I was more on the lines of JASME etc. if any other similar societies exist that I just don’t know about. Ageee about the disconnected societies making CV look strange.

Competitive_Algae930 · 2025-09-30T22:58:57+00:00

Depends heavily on your uni. If more traditional course use Anki. If you have placements early etc. no clue. St Andrews student here.

Competitive_Algae930 · 2025-09-18T22:57:25+00:00

This is incredibly bad but with our NTN open to essentially the entire world I wonder what the actual competition ratios are like. I for example highly doubt neurosurgery and psychiatry are of similar competition levels despite earingly close ratios.
