I've just got MSc in Clinical Chemistry. Does anyone know whether it's possible for me to apply to Med school? I got a 2.2 in BSc Applied Biological Science

It's always worth an application, you never know....

Yes, you can now do a 'fast track' medicine in some of the university in UK. You can find out from them. Some universities such as St. George's hospital medical school and Warwick university. Good luck!

generally you need a 2.1 or above to get into med school but if you have a bit of medical experience (eg. working at your GP's over the summer, taking blood at a hospital, etc) they'll probably consider you. hey does anybody know more about this "fast track" program??

I’ve applied to med school and was rejected. I have a BSc (2:II) in Human Genetics and an MSc in Medical Genetics. I have also done lots of voluntary work. I applied to 2 of the fast track programmes and 2 normal 5 year ones and was rejected by all. It seems ridicules that they would prefer a 17 year old to someone who desperately want to do medicine and understands the commitment involved.

We all know what medicine is like. They will probably be more interested to see whether you have 11 A's at GCSE than a good BSc AND an MSc. Its a joke - and they moan that there are'nt enough doctors!!!

They are only allowed to take in a certain % of graduates and foreign students per intake, hence competition for these places is tough. Personally I think we should adopt the American system of having to do pre-med. Tis would however present a problem in that there won't be any new Drs for 3 years but it'd be beneficial in the long run.

I dont know, that american system is a long tough haul. I mean they do a four year degree (usually) for starters, then they take the MCAT which is a horrible entrance exam (which they have to pay for), then they have to pay tens of thousands a year to go to med school for another 5 years. I cant see that catching on here for some reason. Also, the long term rewards in the US are far greater.

Our NHS is a pile of crap..... it just wouldn't be worth it!

LOL you said it, not me!!! :)
