Medicine 2026 Part 3

[MyGreyBiscuit]

Hi everyone, here's the new thread!

Morning all,

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing? Time is ticking on and has been ok so far for DD I think. She is working which is making the days go more quickly and also has found a love of reading again. Lots of lounging around in the sun with a book which I am pleased about as she is now completely destressed from exams.

We have an occasional chat about results but there is not much to say when we have no clue where she is going to be heading yet. I want to get excited for her for uni but we are just not thinking that far ahead yet.

She does have a back up UCAT date booked but that is it. Our holiday has been and gone so results day is the next big event for us now!

Hope you are all enjoying summer so far.

Oh and DD had her Meningitis jab on Monday too which is another thing ticked off.

Hello there - been pretty quiet here on the post-exams front apart from a sudden anxiety about biology the other day (on my daughter’s part!) - not too long to wait now!

We’re going on holiday to France next week, a bit worried about the wildfire situation. We’ll be further east than the current fire but the situation seems quite precarious!

Great your daughter is reading again @bluefineliner I remember the joy of a long summer holiday & a great book - oh to be young again!

Hope everyone is having a good summer 😌

DD1 is reading Staningrad as her summer read. So not moved on much from A level History!

There are a couple of medicine courses currently in clearing: University of Lancashire (needs AAA) and University of Greater Manchester (needs AAB). Will be interesting to see if they are still available come results day.

That’s a great book but not exactly light summer reading!
