Choices!

Last time I mentioned Three of my options but they have since changed (well one has anyway). 

I am changing Imperial to Cambridge. 

I'm just going to be straight up and honest! I am only planning on going to either kings or queen Mary ... Even if I get a spot at Cambridge I won't be going. 

Which means there's no reason for me to apply there. 

Now I've officially decided. I will only apply to queen Mary/Barts & Kings. 

And when I reapply next year ... I will do the GAMSAT to add St George as an option inshallah.

Pointless post but just thought I should update ! 

I will not be doing an entrance test anymore (was planning on doing the BMAT) but sticking to my LOW UKCAT score of 580. 

I emailed Kings and they replied that the competitive average score was 720 for (A102). 

Go ahead LAUGH! Coz I'm laughing at myself more than you are. 

My plan for the Gap year is to apply for the scientist training program with the NHS and hopefully gain more experience for my next round of applications. 

I am starting my dissertation intro & starting revision for Clinical Biochemistry ... Since we have the SHITTEST teacher next year. 

Btw this is the teacher that I had for the module I got 50% in. Since I don't want the same thing to happen, I have to focus and work on that module quiet a lot (if it's difficult). 

Anyways wish all you GCSE and A-level students got what you hoped for ... If not don't be too sad! It's not the end of the world. 

UKCAT Experience & Results

As I've mentioned my UKCAT is today, specifically at 10:45. Right now (9:29am) i am on the bus to the test centre, apparently according to google maps it should take me 45 minutes to get there. 

I thought I would document pre & post UKCAT. My optimism hasn't increased at all, to the point I've mentally signed myself up for another round of applications next year. But inshallah everything has already been decreed and all I can do is, do my best. 

I hope I won't be late. I don't have internet on my phone therefore won't be able to post this until I get home (not that I'm finished writing) but yeah. 

Just came out of the test! Is it okay to say I told you so to my self? Lol I don't know why I'm acting like the situation is funny tbh. 

I've scored : 

Verbal reasoning : 520

Quantitative reasoning: 630

Abstract reasoning: 620

Decision Analysis: 550

Situational judgment: Band 2 

2320 total, average  580 :(

I've got below average which SUCKS! I know it's stupid but I will still be applying to medicine at Kings & Queen Mary. 

My options are limited & I will most likely not get in but i think it's worth trying since I have nothing to lose anyway. What's the worst that can happen? Rejections ? I'm ready for that! 

I don't think that there's any need to discuss it in more depths since I won't be any help to you, who might be preparing for the UKCAT. 

The only thing I will say is DA 550 WTH! I honestly felt more confident in this section (during revision) than QR. Okay I'm finished ! 

Overall feeling : Alhamdulilah - all praise is due to Allah! 

Hopefully I will do better next year inshallah!!! 

UKCAT soon!

In 18 hours I will have my UKCAT results. My test is Monday morning and honestly I'm not even revising today. Not because I believe I will do extremely well, on the contrary!  I honestly feel like I am going to get something between 400-500 or less than 600, I'm usually very optimistic but also realistic. I don't believe I've grasped the UKCAT as much as I wished to and I also don't want to wait around and feel nervous until I get the test over and done with. I've rescheduled it 3 times and don't want to reschedule it anymore (although I believe at this point it's too late). 

Whatever I get I think I'm still going to apply to study medicine just because I don't believe I have anything to loose. 

Anyway I will be back tomorrow to let you know what the results are for tomorrow inshallah.
