Anyone meet entrance requirements with a 600+ VR (or equivalent), but not received an interview invitation yet? From attending the open day earlier this year, they send out interview invites in batches.

Hi,

Hope you're all doing good.

Could someone please give me some advice on how to prepare for the Warwick MMI interviews?

Should I get tutoring or read any books?

Any help would be great!

Thank you!

I am in my 30s and considering switching my career to med.

I went to an ivy but bombed my education and got a 3.5 only in a quant major. Didn't take any premed sequence and US MD is a non-starter without hundreds of hours of volunteering/research and MCAT.

I thought my gpa would be equivalent to a first or at least 2:1 considering the university ranking and rigor of a quant degree but after emailing different universities, I was told that 3.7 is their minimum. This is quite shocking and tbh I regret a bit with my education now. I got a 3.85 in another uni before transferring to an ivy. Had I known that GPA is the only thing they look at, I may have stayed instead.

Sigh. Does anyone have any experience getting into uk mbbs with a subpar gpa?

Hi I received an interview from warwick. I discovered they rank applicant according to 1st class degree/phd/masters and then ucat score.

I got 2660 b2 with 690 vr and 2:1 in my biomed undergrad. So wondering if i do wel in interview I could get an offer or focus on next intake for a better GAMSAT or UCAT score

Hey my friend has just been put on hold by Bristol and her UCAT is 2750 band 4 do you think there's a chance she'll get an interview? I thought Bristol were quite adamant about ucat above 2900?

SOS HAS ANYONE HEARD ANYTHING FROM THOSE TWO UNIS ??? I haven’t received anything yet…

Does anyone know if UCAT will be determined to shortlist for offers after the interview? Or if its based on interview performance

notts informed about the format of the interview, but i would like everyone's (this yr applicants/med students/prev interview takers) on how these two unis do their interviews, and ur guys advice on prep!! THANK U AND GOOD LUCK TO US ALL

Honestly was not expecting an interview because my UCAT was HORRIBLE 😭😭😭🙏

Hi everyone, I'm currently 20 and studying food science engineering, but medicine has always been my dream and a dream my family shares for me I’ve been thinking about starting medical school when I’m 23 or 24 However, I’m worried about: Being “too old” compared to other students(here in Algeria people usually start med School at 18/17) Starting from scratch after already investing time in another field Balancing my long-term goals with the time commitment required. I’d love to hear from others who started medicine later or faced similar situations. How did you navigate the challenges? Was it worth it in the end? Any advice would be really appreciated

Anyone know what date the University of Liverpool or Keele university sends out interview invites for medicine this year?

I know it was a long-shot, so I shouldn’t be surprised. Reason for rejection was because the course is oversubscribed so they are unable to shortlist some excellent students.

I feel a bit numb. I was working on a scholarship for it since July, and even got shortlisted. I thought I would at least get a chance.

Well, what can you do right?

Nothing from Warwick and my referees haven’t been contacted either.

Asking for a non Redditor friend

Hi everyone. I just wanted to know how I should prepare for the interview. Any advice? (I'm an international btw)

Has anyone who has done UKWPMED outside Birmingham recieved an invite for Birmingham A100

Like I'm sure home students get a lot of leeway as long as they show their thinking process, etc., but do intl students need to get all the interview questions right? Do their stats already decide which people get in and which people don't (e.g. no chance if you get below 45 for IB or 4A* for IALs predicted)?

I find having quick notes to hand really helps me think for the ethical stations, will pen and paper be permitted/ provided or is it all just off the cuff. For context I'm interviewing with Leeds and Newcastle

Hi Everyone!

It's that time of year again (not referring to the Christmas period) where the entries will be opening for the GAMSAT in March 2025. As a second year undergraduate chemistry student, I am determined to get into medicine (it's my third time now trying) and there's one big bulldozing hurdle in my path. . .

The Admission Test.

GAMSAT or UCAT?

I don't want to move too far from home. I've selected five Universities which all take UCAT (Warwick / Southampton / Chester / Barts / Newcastle potentially Worcester). However, there are two GAMSAT Universities that I'm also considering: University of Nottingham and Liverpool.

My question is: considering all my choices, the fact that I've failed the UCAT three times and I'm studying a challenging degree which I hope to secure a first in - is it feasible to take on the begrudging weight of the GAMSAT alongside this?

Ultimately, am I willing to risk my study time for my degree for the GAMSAT?

I have my heart set on Medicine. But I also don't want to compromise my degree grade which will stick with me forever.

Thank you for reading this to the end! (:

Edit: I am also able to fund an undergraduate medicine degree (I'm extremely stingy and save every last drop of my maintenance loan so this is also a viable route).

My A-Level grades are: AAA (achieved with resits)

Anyone got into medicine with a grade 4 in English?

So I’m in my 3rd year of Pharmacology and I have no idea what I want to do. It doesn’t interest me enough to be a career choice. And I have considered everything like teaching, law and even comp sci. I’ve always wanted to apply for Medicine ever since Year 10/11 but didn’t take it seriously enough.

I had a sudden urge to apply to Medicine for 2026 start but I keep seeing individuals on social media saying it’s not worth it especially with the state of the NHS rn and the ridiculous amount of debt.

I’m committed to studying it but is it worth it??

I've done so much research and all it is saying is people hate being a doctor and its a terrible experience etc. I personally don't know what I want to study but am currently considering medicine to further specialise into dermatology. However, I don't actually know if this is worth it as I really want to enjoy my life and from seeing all these people who are complaining about being a doctor it just makes me lose hope. Seeming as if I will have no free time at all or time to spend with people and enjoy my life? I really just want to enjoy my 20s but I'm not sure if medicine is for me then :( just a big problem right now.

I understand you can’t rly say the interview questions but does anyone who went to these interviews have tips for the day that a specific to the interviews at these schools

I recently got accepted to begin a 4.5 year medical degree at Buckingham this January.

As an international student, 22 years old, recent American BSc graduate, heading to the UK is a great option, but very expensive, and the uni doesn’t really seem too decent based off of what I’ve seen.

It’s quite expensive, and as per stats, reports, and news, it doesn’t seem like it’s worth paying that much, when there are far better unis in the UK that are cheaper (I’m talking about the grad entry med programs).

I don’t mind waiting a year, taking the UCAT, and the MCAT, while trying to get in here (in the US).

But if Buckingham is perfect, and a great uni, that’ll offer me every opportunity to succeed in research, the medical field, and most importantly as a doctor, then by all means, I’ll be on my way 😂.

Cheers!

I want to study in the UK but given the disastrous situation of the NHS I would like to keep my options open and be able to do my residency in USA.

My outlook account was randomly locked earlier today. No amount of anything will enable to get my back in - I have all the correct info and links with phone number, alternative email, and authenticator app. The account is LOCKED. This is the account I used for my GEM/A101 application. I have changed my primary email on UCAS and emailed the universities providing an alternative email address. Do you think this will be enough? I was only able to change the contact details on the one of the portals, the other three don't allow changes.

🙏🙏🙏

Just have a few pre interview questions :)
