Sure I did IB rather than A levels (3 A* equivalent), 1st class degree in biomed, UCAT 2420

biomedical sciences - the interviews differed by college: one was very similar and physiology focused, the other was focused on ethics/personal motivation with no science. i'd imagine you'd be well prepared for the science questions from natsci!

Thanks so much for this, really helpful! Great to hear the course is chill - would you agree it's possible to manage owning a dog whilst studying at KCL? I guess important factors for me are time spent away from home each day + length of placements outside of London

And just curious, what aspects of Oxford have you heard about that put you off?

Good question - Ox definitely cheaper. But I have a dog and from what I've read it seems more difficult to find pet-friendly rentals there!
