DD has had no offers for medicine. 1 Uni has placed her on a reserve list, another has offered Biomeds. This is her first shot , leaving sixTh form this year. I have so many questions but she’s not in the mood to discuss it at the moment .
Do medical applicants go through clearing and get a place ?
How likely is she to be offered a place from the reserved list?
Should she take the Biomed course with a view to hopefully moving to medicine as a graduate ?
Gap year with work experience?
For what it’s worth, no one in the close or wider family have been to University. She will be the first. I have no experience to draw on. She’s pretty stressed and I would like to be able some reassuring words / guidance based on something other than just being her Mum and believing she is great. Given, her pretty normal back ground and upbringing I’m pretty impressed she even got on a reserve list but that kind of support isn’t going to help her progress her application if you see what I mean.
