Is KCL GEM realistic for me?
I’m considering applying for GEM this year. It was something I wanted to do originally but unfortunately the pandemic happened so I couldn’t do it. I ended up with mid A-Levels (BCC) and I did pharmacy. I’ve now graduated with a 2:1 MPharm degree from a non-Russell group university. I have been qualified for a year now and have experience working as a pharmacist including in a hospital environment. It’s been nice but I thought i’d give this a shot again because it’s still something I think about a lot and I know i’d regret it if i didn’t give myself this chance.
While I will be applying to other unis, KCL is the one I really want to go to. I’ve looked over the entry requirements and I believe I meet them but reason I’m asking is because I thought I also met the requirements for QMUL but apparently they have a reputation of prioritising those with a 1st? I know GEM is extremely competitive and people with all sorts of amazing qualifications will be applying. Considering my background would I be competitive enough as a candidate? (Also I have yet to sit my ucat but in my mocks I’m averaging around 2400 so if i were to score at that level would it be enough?)
