So, after holding out for almost 3 months since my last rejection, I got the dreaded email. &#8220;UCAS Application Status Notification&#8221; came from the usual &#8220;track@ucas.ac.uk&#8221; address to my mobile at [...]]]></description>

To be honest with you, pretty shit, actually.
As a medical applicant, you&#8217;ll know that you need AAB, including Chemistry, to study medicine almost anywhere in the UK. Well, let&#8217;s just say that my chemistry grades aren&#8217;t looking too clever. I got a C average [...]]]></description>

Well, I didn&#8217;t. My application started out being spread evenly between four good medical schools.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just finished my UKCAT test, and found it both easier and harder than I expected. Unfortunately I can&#8217;t give too much away as the test is &#8220;UKCAT Confidential&#8221;, but I can give some good pointers and tips for you!
As most of you will be aware, UKCAT is made up of 5 sections. 4 of [...]]]></description>

You know, the one you walk through every day. It&#8217;s the one you&#8217;ve got the key for. It&#8217;s quite big, you know, with a certain type of handle. Front of your house, you know which one I mean.

It was a very nice tour, and they even gave us a &#8220;goody bag&#8221; containing some badges, a pen, the prospectus, and some smaller booklets. I also met a [...]]]></description>

I know its a really good medical school and all that, but I live in the area already, and although I really do love the North East, I think my time at university would be better spent in another part of the country.
