r/UCAT

my parents earn less than £40k between them, i’ve only ever been to public schools, had to work a minimum wage job alongside studying to be able to afford to pay for ucat resources, i don’t come from a doctor family, i don’t know a single doctor, but im going to med school in september!! 😛😛 this is your sign that you don’t need to come from money to go to med school. sure, it may help, but you CAN do it without. medicine is already competitive enough, let’s not ostracise even more people who would make brilliant doctors just because of their household income. why are people hating on contextual and working class offer holders instead of congratulating them for overcoming barriers. well done EVERYONE who got offers this year, and well done to the people that didn’t, every single person in this subreddit has worked incredibly hard and every single person deserves to be recognised for that.

big up contextual and fellow working class offer holders 🔥🔥

To those ashholes and prics (dont wanna get banned lol) who are taking joy in putting people down to get through their miserable lives and make themselves feel better just shut up. Aint it embarassing wanting to persue a healthcare career and going onto reddit to put someone else down??? This community aint here to make u feel better about urself by being toxic. Take ur negativity and nazar and go to HELL. Waking up and putting people down for their UCAT scores and GCSE's grades and Predicteds are just a waste of ur time and u should be well ashamed of urself. Get a life, reflect and try to spread positivity during these stressful times. Peace out x

title basically. just wondering what people who got at least one of their offers got :)

I feel like the only person still waiting bruh everyone else has their offers

begging at this point. Interview in feb and still not yet attended.

Hi guys,

this post feels so stupid because i know literally 95% of a level people are locked the hell in and are working so hard but for some reason i cant seem to manage it. For the past 6 months or more, i have felt like im drowning in work. I barely scraped a good ucat but im so grateful for it. I have ALWAYS been so hardworking and got 8-9’s in my GCSEs and got predicted A*AAA in year 12 despite some challenges i was facing.

This year, the most important year, i feel like ive blown it. Staying in bed all day, having everyone surrounding me wondering what the hells happening, giving me motivation, yelling at me, and having constant, long emails sent from school regarding me. I have no one to blame but me but when i go to revise i cannot focus for more than 5 minutes, and just start panicking like crazy about my workload (let me tell you, its a lot 😅) and how im not going to get into uni at this rate. Everything about me has gone downhill this year, i try to fix it, i fail and its a cycle im stuck in. Ive just become so unlike myself, or more like myself, all my bad qualities maxxed out, and most importantly, im just SICK of revising.

I am horrified at the thought of resitting ( most if not all unis require the lowest minimum BBB in first sitting or u cant apply + many unis require a levels to only take 2 yrs max), redoing my ucat as idk if ill scrape it this time, and on top of this my parents wont allow a gap year and claim they will force me into a different career if i dont make it 🙃

I know the only way out of this is literally to lock in but the most hours i can do is like 2 in a day. I feel ashamed when i look at my clock, even in my gcse prime i was burning 5-6 from february, and i know 2 is better than 0 but i also know it wont cut it and take me to A’s. IM JUST SO FRUSTRATED. WHY CANT I REVISE? why have i become so lazy? is this a victim complex ive fallen in right now because its literally just my fault for not revising? 😓

Any response would be nice. I know this is on me, and i dont expect anyone to have answers or reasons for my downfall and i dont know what comments to expect either but thank you for reading this, it was kind of my last hope🙂

Hello where are you its been 2 months since our interviews

2200 b3 int 10 dec just got the track email fifteen mins ago

I applied for dentistry, Manchester first choice Newcastle second. I got my Newcastle offer a few weeks ago and my Manchester rejection came through on UCAS track last night so I firmed Newcastle and confirmed my place there as the offer is unconditional. I just got an email from Manchester saying I’ve been waitlisted so should I join this waitlist and was I right in firming Newcastle? Btw Manchester say they’ll get back either in the summer or August.

Please sgul I need this, my ucas is kinda offerless🥹

like pls or maybe friday also the people who got bristol offers, did u get an email from ucas or bristol first ?
