Hello! I(18 yo) just finalized my decision of studying in london and i have lived in a very hot country all my life, and will be moving to a very very cold place for the very first time. I have absolutely no clue about the weather throughout the year and I would like to build a capsule closet because I have a very limited luggage allowance and closet space in uni. I have heard uniqlo heat tech is an essential so thats totally going on to buy list, but i would love any advice on what i could buy to build a whole capsule closet that would last me through the year. Some people have told me that a long wool coat would be very beneficial but im lowkey short and have always thought that long coats look silly on me. And im also very curvy so that def doesnt help my case. What i have already bought: a short suede jacket, couple of thick tops, 3 pairs of jeans, sweaters(cable knit), 2 ribbed full sleeve tops, a satin button up, 2 formal plain black dresses,biker leather jacket,1 hoodie. Any advice will be so so so helpful!!

I have no clue abt the resitting policy cuz my school is refusing to tell me anything before results day and am actually terrified of missing my offer. As an intl student, I have absolutely no backup and dont know what to do. My parents are pushing me to go for biomedical engineering if I miss my offer and I only want to do medicine but they aren't understanding that. I gen feel like vomiting when I think abt my results and can't even predict anything for myself. All my life I have been a kid who my parents have had nothing to worry abt and they would be proud abt that fact. But now im scared they will actually have to start worrying abt me and my future.

Sorry abt the vent but if any one has any advice on possible backups for intl students itll be so so appreciated!

So I only applied to the UK for medicine(stupid decision and 100% regret it now) and luckily I got an offer with the condition of AAA. Unfortunately, due to geopolitical issues in my country, my a levels were cancelled and internals were taken. My grade will be made as a consolidation of my mock grades, my internals and my as level grades. For maths, our school had gotten their hands on an insanely hard paper and put that as one of our internals, which everyone had completely messed up in. For chemistry, it was okay but I didn't do quite well on my mocks cuz of clashing interviews. I am quite scared abt the fact of me missing my offers, so I would love love some advice on where i could possibly still apply outside the UK, and what other intl students are planning for what to do if, god forbid, they miss their offer.

Vr - 28/44

Dm-20/35

Qr - 30/36

Hello! Has anyone applied for or is planning to apply for the thumbay international pathway? I would love any reviews from current students on how the program is.

I have heard that getting an interview at UoS for med has a really low rate? I am also thinking of applying to NYUAD for biomedical engineering. Please be honest abt my chances!

so I have been doing qr mini mocks and im always scoring 28/36 or 27/36 and its lowkey pissing me off cuz i wanna maximize my QR score cuz my vr score is lowkey fried. Any advice on improving will be so helpful

I had paid for medify last year and I used to the same account as last year and paid for a subscription for this year. It's not letting me do the mocks again and still showing the same data as last year. Did this happen for anyone else and how do i fix this?

I have an offer at brunel but I'm quite uncertain. Their teaching style is TBL, which is quite rigorous. They have 2 tests a week with most of it being self learning, with clinical skills, and graded osces from the first year(which I have heard is quite rare), gp placements from first year and a graded ssc in term 3 of yr 2. Idk the ranking of brunel is making me iffy and I read a couple of negative comments about the competence of brunel students in the doctors subreddit, making me nervous abt going ahead with Brunel. However, when I talk to brunel medical students they say that they are loving it, they pretty much like the anatomy lessons and the facilities, they also said that their GPs on placement make good comments about brunel med students' competence. Should I consider not going ahead with brunel more or just go ahead with brunel??

Any personal experiences with brunel med students or any current brunel med students' experiences will be so so helpful

I have always achieved good grades and been a pretty well rounded student in school, 3A*a predicted and A*A*A*A*AAAAB in igcse but I have gotten a medicine offer in a lowly ranked university(I know that it doesnt quite matter if im going to stay in the UK) and I can't simply ignore the fact that everyone in my school who was going for med(UK and abroad) have gotten into better universities than me and are so confident about being able to get through medicine. Throughout school everyone expected that I would get into top universities, including my parents, and now I feel like I have disappointed them in a way. I have always wanted to do medicine knowing all about the negatives of doing it in the UK, but as I get closer to it, I find myself doubting my abilities to get through it and become a competent doctor and getting lowkey scared. Ig im just scared i wont end up being a good doctor but this is just a lil vent cuz not many people around me are in med and dont realize the amount of effort that goes into it :l Thank you for listening!

So all my life i have been a student who has been scoring really well and has always been on top of things but that ended when i did my ucat and i take full responsibility of that happening. I didnt handle stress well and when i was scoring 2100-2200 at home, i got 1900s in the actual exam, which sucks as an intl student. I am very lucky to have offers from brunel and uclan and waitlisted from HYMS but im just constantly loosing hope for HYMS the second i see someone else firming it. Brunel and uclan are both lowly ranked,they have a strerotype as well being new medical schools of graduates being "low quality" and I know that its wrong to let others dictate my decisions but I can't simply seem to ignore that. Somehow i feel as if all the effort i have been putting towards UK Med has gone down the drain. My parents say that I didnt work hard enough or I didnt plan, but i just didnt do it in front of them cuz I have always handled things on my own and never needed help, causing them to put the tag of "she will do it i trust her" throughout school years. I feel that i have broken their trust and disappointed them in a major way. When i suggest a gap year, they disagree cuz its quite a risky decision, having no confirmed back up. And i want to try for the ucat again but they are quite against it. I have no idea about my grades, because this year my a levels system was changed and I have no idea about how they will be marking me and placing thresholds. I feel as if I haven't reached where I was supposed to be and its all just wasted potential. I honestly feel like genuinely giving up and ending it all sometimes but it is what it is. Any advice on what to do or opinions will be really helpful even though this is just a vent!
