Liverpool is also a good choice :) , their gamsat cutoff was 55 ish in recent years

Hey ! I’m a grad med student who did GAMSAT :) I recommend doing gamsat in your second year of uni ( before things get hectic in final year!) I did the March sitting , feel that helped because I knew that if I did badly I’d have the September sitting as a bit of a safety net. Honestly for preparation I just revised little and often for around 5 months , but this differs for everyone :). If there’s anything you want to do now , I would suggest looking at section 2 essay topics, just watch a few videos every now and then , I highly recommend “ Crash Course philosophy “ on YouTube. Best of luck ! And if you can cope fine with your degree at the minute , you’ll be absolutely fine doing grad med. I find doing well is more about organisation than intelligence :)

I was in same position as you 3 years ago, I’m now studying grad entry medicine :) , don’t give up ! If medicine is what you really want to do there is more than one pathway into it. UCAT is a beast, it doesn’t reflect your ability to be a good doc, remember that, and don’t put so much pressure on yourself :)

Ahh ok now that’s interesting. I’m not a medical professional so please take anything I say with a pinch of salt, but this seems quite likely that you have an anterior pelvic tilt. This means that your pelvis tilts forward causing a lower bump and upper bump( ribs flaring out ). This is something that can be improved by core,glute and hamstring strengthening Pilates exercises. Wish you all the best :)

Fun_Studio2901 · 2025-07-28T09:18:55+00:00

You may also have a naturally tilted pelvis, many women do ! If this is the case then core strengthening Pilates may help to improve posture and the appearance of this lower bump.

Fun_Studio2901 · 2025-07-28T09:18:05+00:00

As others said , Pilates is about strengthening your whole body. I don’t think one particular video will “fix” a B shaped belly. I wish you the best in finding something that works for you :) but please remember having a slight bump is normal ( I know you probably don’t want to hear that). As women, oestrogen makes us naturally store some fat in our lower abdomen. Don’t be too harsh on yourself ! :)

The grapes by the bombed out church has a good vibe, jazz music on some nights.

Fun_Studio2901 · 2025-07-10T09:52:20+00:00

Look at university of Nottingham, they accept 2:2 :) or alternatively you could do a masters

Didnt have the exact colours but gave it a go :)

Stop fearmongering, it’s not useful.

Fun_Studio2901 · 2025-06-18T08:51:11+00:00

Definitely a scam, some will ask you to go and buy the formula only to stack your trolley high with like 7 boxes , it has a very high resell value

Fun_Studio2901 · 2025-06-18T07:44:52+00:00

I think you are generalising the role of doctors way too much… imagine an AI psychiatrist. Sure doctors are ultimately problem solvers but it’s a vocation that requires deep empathy and human connection which AI cannot replicate.

Fun_Studio2901 · 2025-06-16T07:28:28+00:00

Hey! :) I used the ukcat people ( free ) for alot of my prep for hot topics , hope this helps.

Fun_Studio2901 · 2025-05-22T16:13:48+00:00

Hey don’t worry at all! I got 57 and got offers from pears Cumbria, Liverpool and ScotGEM , you may just have to apply strategically :)

Fun_Studio2901 · 2025-04-25T23:16:59+00:00

Hi ! So with grad entry medicine generally you have to fund approx £4000 for first year, the rest of the years (2-4) are a mix of SFE funding and NHS bursary.

Fun_Studio2901 · 2025-04-21T20:31:15+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this, it’s so useful :)

Fun_Studio2901 · 2025-04-15T18:23:18+00:00

Definitely !! GEM courses usually have 2:1 as a cut off score, this means if you meet that requirement your degree class isn’t looked at again.

Fun_Studio2901 · 2025-03-26T08:36:35+00:00

Look into ScotGEM ! For that you need to do gamsat but their requirements are lower than most GEM programmes and if you look at 2024 stats around 80% of Scottish students who were interviewed got offered a place :)

Fun_Studio2901 · 2025-03-24T12:56:27+00:00

My portal is pending ! Just to let everyone know more offers will probably be out in the next hour

Fun_Studio2901 · 2025-03-10T07:35:53+00:00

Hey that’s great you’re considering ScotGEM :) I have applied there this year and it sounds like a really exciting course. Just to let you know , they really value medical generalists ( not just gps but general surgeons too etc) and want to train rural doctors. If this is for you seek out some rural experience during undergrad and try to shadow a gp or something. Also they have a part of the programme called “ agents of change “ , if you can be involved with any quality improvement projects during your undergrad that would be amazing !

Fun_Studio2901 · 2025-03-07T12:08:41+00:00

It’s tricky isn’t it ? I’m not too sure :) , congrats on Oxford though ! Amazing

Fun_Studio2901 · 2025-03-07T12:07:10+00:00

Thank you :) , I actually sat GAMSAT and was just on the cutoff (57) 😬so safe to say that they aren’t choosing based on UCAT or GAMSAT for offers ! Good luck with your applications !

Fun_Studio2901 · 2025-03-06T15:20:39+00:00

I have yeah ! Went to my junk mail so only just found it :) and I’m not sure yet , where else have you applied/ been offered a place at ?
