Oxbridge, UCL and Imperial College students please answer?

my GCSEs were A*A*A*AAAAAABB

i really dont think they care that much about GCSES, so long as they are not obviously bad or average (mainly C's and B's)). Its all about A levels, and even then they dont care that much, By which i mean to say straight A's wont impress them.They know that A levels are pretty easy.

your reference, and interview will count for a lot

if you have an interview for oxbridge, they in particular are looking for students who will be suited to the tutorial system. So you may be expected to have an opinion on a topic, and be willing and able to debate, and defend it whilst they play devil's advocate.

i think that is the main thing they are looking for. they already know that you are not an idiot.

and for medicine in particular, the experience counts for a lot.If you are able to get any more, I would go for it. you need to show that you are totally sure and commited to it.

postgrad applicants may be expected to have 6 months experience

i can give you the email of a UCL medic if you want it

they are about equivalent. yet they are very different places. Imperial is a in common words technological understanding, engineering and clinical company, so in case you want to study a topic that would not in superb condition interior that, you won't be able to study there besides. yet in case you want to study technological understanding or engineering, i'd say honestly Imperial. both became an element of the federal college of London, and any college interior that college is honestly properly up there with the great. UCL continues to be component to it yet Imperial left many years in the past because it has this kind of robust acceptance by technique of itself for the topics it teaches that it felt it ought to flow it on my own, and it became properly. it continually has been easily a spread of position that in case you won't be able to get into Oxford or Cambridge, it truly is the position you want to be. I honestly ought to declare an interest. I spent 3 more than satisfied years at Imperial reading physics. This became 30 years in the past and with the "dumbing down" of grades lately extra human beings honestly fail their degree... yet even then, at Imperial, very almost no man or woman failed because it in basic terms took the great, and in case you purchased a 0.33 classification degree, the obtrusive end became that you hadn't been attempting. if you're actually unable to a minimum of a 2:2, Imperial received't allow you to in. Imperial produces an excellent variety of properly notch levels and massive numbers of its graduates flow on to a PhD. yet as I say, it relies upon on your challenge. in case you want to do a BA in something like English, geography or heritage, Imperial purely would not do it and UCL will be wonderful for you in case you will get in. Imperial in basic terms does BSc, BEng, MSci, MEng and clinical levels. that is about topics and what college or college has a strong acceptance in that challenge.
