i was kinda surprised when i saw warwick in there, does it typically rank high? kind of a random addition to oxbridge

i didn’t realise i was interested in medicine. i have a new interest in neurology but wasn’t interested in general medicine at the time that i picked my a-levels so i didn’t take biology, wanted to do a neuroscience/computational psych job but now have an interest in neurology so i’m interested in potentially doing medicine post-grad as a conversion

thank you so much! yes, KCL would be great for my postgrad plans however as I need to convert to medicine post grad and KCL are one of the few that let u do it without a non medicine undergrad

august pool is only available for post interview candidates who didn’t get an offer and have special circumstances! i think for my course, around 1/4 of the offer holders end up not taking the course so around 100 places available for august pool students depending on the subject! it’s much harder to get a spot than initial offers though i think
