I wish!!
are you?
Yep, just trying to suss out who else is.. . .Thanks!! Well done to everyone else, commiserations to those who missed out this year, there's always next year or postgrad. We will all be doctors some day
I do hope so. . .the only words of advice I'll offer is if you really want medicine next year, decide now, dont change your mind, apply everywhere, here and the UK, and start studying now. . .for both exams. . .otherwise you're gonna be disappointed. . .0 -

You will find this on health education forum but will post here as I know many interested.
UK UNDERGADUATE MEDICINE UCAS MIMINUM LC 2012 AND HOW TO DO IT ANY YEAR
NOTE
Have compiled list of MINIMUM LC REQUIREMENTS for students interested in applying to UK via UCAS in 2012. In fact I have also left the pathway so as someone else can do it in any year and indeed for any subject.
Perhaps the forum should start a new thread as seems to be in many peoples minds with the shocking increase in points for Irish Medicine this year.
It would be really helpful if any Irish students currently doing medicine in UK could tell others where they are and how easy/difficult it was to get in.
As regards the question of fees I think that Scotland charge no fees to EU ie Irish undergraduates. Fees in England will definitely be £9,000 per year BUT Irish students are eligible for a student loan and that is low interest and repayment only when you earn over £15,000 per year but again maybe current students can comment.
If this is wrong forum sure moderator will move. Good Luck!!

Thanks for your reply Yodaboy. Yes, I'm sitting right on the random selection points (mores the pity). I'll forever shudder when faced with the dreaded asterix! I'm pretty ****** off!: )
Yeah I feel sorry for anybody in that situation. So unfair, but I suppose there's no fairer system for an operation of this scale. Genuinely hope you get in, especially since probably thought you'd be sorted before the huge points jump. Might see you come September! 0 -

Second, feel free to post or pm me any questions you may have about it - whether you should go into pre med, whether you will have the choice, the good points and bad points - don't be shy I just completed it this year! 0
