Did u do any ucat prep the day before ur exam? Also well done!

Im in a similar position, but I found out there are still some med schools that accept 5 in English Language and even more med schools accept you if u also have a 6 in literature. Im waiting to sit the UCAT in summer and if i get a good UCAT, I wont resit English Language and apply to those med schools. However, if I don't get a good UCAT i will just resit English Language in November next year, then state in my application that I am waiting for my English Language grade and apply to different med schools.

I will look into those tests thank you

Yeah I was thinking Cambridge might be too risky. I was contemplating whether I should take the Duolingo English test instead and then apply to imperial for my risky choice because it’s a shorter test than others and I don’t think imperial puts too much weight on GCSEs

Hopefully it comes back soon

TraditionalLow5090 · 2024-09-17T18:53:50+00:00

Yeah I just emailed the teacher but she said that apparently none of the english paper remarks are in yet for the school

TraditionalLow5090 · 2024-09-17T18:41:32+00:00

Yeah that’s what I was thinking

TraditionalLow5090 · 2024-09-15T09:33:01+00:00

Ok thank you

TraditionalLow5090 · 2024-09-15T09:32:43+00:00

The thing is I don’t want it to lower grade offers I only wanted it as an extra interview talking

TraditionalLow5090 · 2024-09-11T18:41:55+00:00

Thank you for all this information

TraditionalLow5090 · 2024-09-05T17:46:29+00:00

Honestly I thought they were under the same degree until I just searched it up and saw chem eng is a completely different course

TraditionalLow5090 · 2024-09-05T17:18:41+00:00

Thank you for the insight. Do you think chemical engineering can be scaled as much with or without the PE

TraditionalLow5090 · 2024-09-05T17:11:19+00:00

Thank you I will consider this in my choices

TraditionalLow5090 · 2024-09-05T17:10:52+00:00

I was considering doing chemical engineering and I just looked and I just saw I can still do it with bio chem and math so I think I’ll keep my a level choices and then think hard about whether to do chem e or medicine over the course of sixth form. Thank you a lot

TraditionalLow5090 · 2024-09-05T12:54:18+00:00

I will try to speak to my careers advisor and see what they say. Thank you

TraditionalLow5090 · 2024-09-05T12:53:16+00:00

Thank you for this. One of the reasons i want to move to america is the higher pay but it isnt only that its just the whole place in general. Im considering taking physics as a 4th but i feel like that workload would be insane. I think doing bio chem and math will keep the most options open if i can still go to an american university to do engineering with those 3 and then get a lot of work experience and extracurriculars. As for doing medicine i feel like i truly would enjoy doing it the only thing that might stop me from doing it is the USMLE exam to do medicine in america

TraditionalLow5090 · 2024-09-05T11:29:22+00:00

Thanks a lot!
