I'll pull through =] Sent off my accommodation form online though. Granted it's a bit late because I had to wait for the replies from the rest of the unis. My first choice is self-catered ensuite (broadgate park) just outside the Uni campus. The second and third are both catered halls (Cripps and Lenton and Wortley), these are shared ensuite, so I have to share it with one other person. my last choice was also self catered (raleigh park), but this is a house with 6 other people, with a living room! I hope I get BGP, the place looks amazing!

I know a lot of people who have had problems with it and have been at uni for half a term and not got a penny. The earlier you do it the sooner any problems can get ironed out. Go here: http://www.studentfinancedirect.co.uk/portal/page?_pageid=53,1263071&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL Then click on "Please register my details". This takes you to a page of info where you have to click "Register my details" again. Fill in some info then you get an ART number and you can log in to your account. From there you can start filling in all the questions, which seems to take forever.

The Samsoniteman Posted at 2:12 pm on April 1, 2008 Sweet as. Grad entry is more competetive, so just make sure you do a shit load of voluntary stuff and have a good interview etc. Oh and that stupid UKCAT/MCAT stuff.

Graduate entry medicine, I'm not going to abandon the idea of doing medicine. it's what I really want to do.

King Kong Posted at 2:07 pm on April 1, 2008 Bit late   haven't sent my accommodation forms yet marshmellowman Posted at 2:06 pm on April 1, 2008 Quote: from katyduck at 10:04 pm on April 1, 2008 you know, from a more experienced point of view I REALLY would advise you to go and repeat your A-levels and doing something you really want to do that will definitely get you a job that you love... It is only an extra year, which is nothing in the span of things. I wouldn't repeat my A-levels anyway. There's nothing wrong with them. But I'm doing 3 years Biochemistry then 4 years graduate entry medicine. I'll end up in the same place, just takes me a year (or two depending on the medicine course) longer at university.
