I’m really wanting to go ahead and apply for medicine through the graduate entry courses. My degree is a humanities degree so that means King’s, Imperial, Bristol, Birmingham, Leicester and Liverpool are ruled out. So far, predicted 2:1/1st.
The unis I want to apply for are St George’s, Barts, Warwick, Nottingham but mainly SGUL and Barts as they are closest to home.
I had a rough school time because health reasons and that affected my attendance and overall my GCSEs weren’t the best but they were alright in that I did as good as I could. My school didn’t apply for special consideration which would have benefited me.
SGUL has now upped their GCSE English language from no requirement to a B. I got close to B (2 UMS marks off) but they would see it as a C however could I use my extenuating circumstances so they can look at the rest of application? Also, my borough where I live isn’t the greatest with education. When I was taking my GCSEs, I had a lot of surgery prep happening so that left me with not much time to revise.
Also, I am in a wheelchair and whilst I have seen doctors in a w/c especially in SGUL. I was wondering if that would hinder me before the interview stage. I mean I can walk and sit unaided, I just need the w/c for long distances.
