I probably am. Schools and medicine degrees...

Do all schools treat potential medics as the bee's knees, the mutt's nuts, and all other choiciest bits of animal rolled into one?

I only ask as this happened to me, and it's happening again to my DSis, and I'm really irritated. She's applying for NatSci at Cambridge (and other universities), but school aren't offering her any interview help, her link teacher for her application isn't a science teacher and nobody seems interested in her at all to be honest.

In the meantime, school have organised interviews for the medics, and they all have senior science teachers for their applications.

The thing that irritates me is that the course my DSis wants to do actually requires higher grades than practically all medicine degrees, and arguably a harder interview.

And, none of the science teachers have a medicine degree. So why are they bending over backwards to help the medics, and ignoring people wanting to do a subject degree that's just as hard, if not harder, to get onto?

Good news about the interview with your old teacher. Much better that it's a stranger probably. Best of luck to her.
