P655 Teletext 655 Mar30 00:57:34 ADVICE —————————————————————————————— — FROM A PIN TO A NEEDLE? Dear Mike I am 24 and have always wanted to study medicine. I have taken private courses in acupuncture and aromatherapy, and now want to get into medicine. I have no science GCSEs. I am thinking of doing A-levels in human biology and chemistry. What chances do you think I have of entry to medical schoo?

Mike replies Medicine is one of the most competitive and keenly sought after of all degree courses. Normally, high A-level or Higher grades in science subjects are almost always njedjd at the first attempt. An alternative "pre-medical" course is offered by some medical schools for very able non-science applicants who have got high grades in arts subjects. ——————————————————————————————————2/3—— Digitisjr 470 Online 650 REMEMBER - IT'S YOUR LIFE! p480 Unemployed?

Mike replies Without any passes at GCSE in sciences you may find A-level study in Human Biology and Chemistry very hard going. It is unlikely that acupuncture and aromatherapy will make any impression on admissions tutors at medical school You require high grad s from academic study in sciences to bj considered. This gives admissions tutors evidence that you can complete the course. ——————————————————————————————————3/3—— Have you got a careers query?
