Random Advice #2

1. All the medical schools in the UK are equally 'good'
They may have teaching methods and facilities but they are all recognised equally by the GMC. They may have different strengths in research and some may have a better location than others but none is 'better' than the others.
2.Choose wisely pleasepleasepleaseplease
DO apply to places where your strengths are considered. If you have a high UKCAT score(>680) you may want to consider applying to places where the UKCAT is used more, but if you did poorly in your UKCAT(<600) you may want to consider applying to a medical school that does not use the UKCAT(Eg; Bristol)
However, do bear in mind that if you apply to schools that do not use the UKCAT, they could potentially be relatively more competitive.
If you feel that interviews are not your strength, you may consider applying to schools that do not interview(Eg;Edinburgh) but then you would have to be confident of your personal statement, does it bring all that you are/all the passion you have across?
And if you are applying to a university which places a lot of emphasis on your Personal Statement please know that it is a sort of 'risk' because what you may feel to be a good/strong PS may not seem so to an admissions tutor going through a thousand over applications!Some may place more emphasis on extra curricular activities while some may look at your work experience more closely.
In conclusion, apply to schools where you strengths will give you an edge!
3.Prepare for your interview early!
I think I've said this a few times now><
