    yep i'm applying to queen margaret in edinburgh to do radiography, seems a lot easier and simpler than the CAO, and think it's cheaper too.

    We had a talk from a guy ho went to Cambridge about going to the UK for college. I can see why he'd like it, don't think it'd be my cup of tea though!

    If you are applying for Radiography, my advice to you would be to get some experience in a dept if at all possible , even 2 days or anything because without this UK colleges prob wont consider you. Its really important, when I did my LC I applied to do Radiography and had an excellent personal statement but no experience so didnt end up getting any ucas offers , I actually got the points for UCD in the end so didnt need to go to the UK. If your local hospital wont let you go in and observe for a day, contact UCD and they should be able to arrange something for you. It will greatly improve your chances of getting accepted by ucas.

    A friend of mine is running an interactive workshop on ucas applications. He will be running through the application process and giving hints on how to succeed in your application. He is studying in Cambridge, so I think he knows a thing or two about the application process. This is the Facebook page for the workshop if anyones interested. :)

    STOP digging up old threads and spamming your UCAS course all over the place,
    I have already warned you by PM.
