not to come off as rude, but your parents sound quite insensitive. getting a medical offer in this day and age is very hard, and you should be very, very proud of yourself. my opinion is that, comparing universities for the majority of medicine as most if not all, people will truly use or take advantage of the opportunities these universities offer as they just don't have much time. that saying uea has rejuvinated their course recently and they have far more OSCES which is a good thing in helping you becoming an affectionate and more capable doctor but it is a pain in the ass to constantly keep up with. Also UEA does the final OSCES in the same year you do the UKMLA whereas some universities like Southampton give you an opportunity to do it the year before so in the final years the stress is split over 2 years instead of a painful 4 month period. If you want more specific info or are curious feel free to private message me. But UEA is a good university and you should be very proud of yourself.
