UCAS

Today, I think I shall talk about the UCAS applications.

I was really lucky as I'd gotten quite a lot of guidance from my school on this aspect of my application.

Here are some basics on it:
1.You can have only FOUR medical school choices
2. Your fifth choice should (preferably) be a non-occupational course choice(this was what i was advised)
3.The different sections:
Personal Details(Check through it a few times before sending it in)
Student Finance(this is simple, just read through it)
Choices( One thing to be careful with is choosing of campuses(Eg; Newcastle-Newcastle campus,Durham Campus or No preference)
Education(Your previous schools and what subjects you are currently taking, please declare all the modules you have already taken, some schools are really strict on this, and if you look carefully, you can also find a part of it where you can input your UKCAT results, it may help you in getting an interview invite earlier:/you never know!)
Employment(it wont affect you unless you had a job before)
Personal statement(Use the 'box' to check your statement's word limit!Much more effective!)

And that's about it!

You will also need a referee's statement.

Here are somethings to consider when choosing a referee/approaching you referee:
1.Choose someone who knows you well(a teacher/lecturer), someone who knows of all the work you've done and who appreciated all your efforts
2.Consider giving your referee a 'list' of things you have done/achieved-this makes it easier for them to start on writing your statement, also, if you know that the schools you are applying to look for certain things in your application(Eg: Academic achievements,leadership positions,dedication,etc;) that you could not fit in your personal statement, you may consider urging your referee to mention some of these things
3. Try to find someone who has experience in doing this
4.Ask of your referee this favour early, it would not only be good for you referee but it will be beneficial for you too because your referee will then have more time to consider what to put in your statement!

I think this is all for now:/
