    Hey everyone, are there any universities in the UK that consider repeat Leaving Cert students for medicine?

    This may be misleading but I'm not sure if it's against UCAS rules or whatever but couldn't you just put down your predicted grades for Leaving Cert 2012 and don't list your 2011 results under previous qualifications?

    Therefore they won't know you're repeating! ;)



    and Randy/other Mods I am sorry if this post is like against the rules..?!

    I think it might be a bit against the law, even, lies by omission. :P

    You might get a quicker response in the hpat thread, jumpy, given people would be subscribed?

    Forum traffic is low enough just at the moment, and a fair bit of what there is, is from next year's LCers.

    Jumpguy, you always do better than you expect in exams. Wait until the results come out before you decide about repeating, applying to UCAS etc. There is plenty of options out there in relation to medicine, you don't necessarily have to repeat.
