Default Medical schools in UK
I am applying to Bristol, Sheffield, Glasgow, HYMS (Hull and York Medical School) and University of London St. Geroge's Medical School.

Any ideas or suggestions about these?

Well I heard Bristol has a good rating in the league tables.

My friend goes to St Georges, it's a smaller university compared to other universities, but it's meant to have a excellent course in medicine.

Hull is a recently new medical school.

Dont know much about Sheffield.

yes it is dear...we have 2 options,

1-straight after college off to uni (med school)...(our high school ends in year 11, we then have 2 years of college years 12-13 in which we do our Alevels, for med you have to do chemistry, Biology and any other subject)

2-Graduate Entry programme (GEP), after your degree, preferably a Bsc (and a minimum of a pass at Alevel chem and bio) you can study medicine in 4 years flat..but usually for most GEP's you have to either take the GAMSAT/BMAT.

And kings college is the shizzle, iv applied there and even though it is 5yrs id take that offer over any GEP, beacause its LONDON! (a couple of mins away from london bridge)and there aint no place like london now is there?

Over all, would you guys prefer going to uni. in UK or PK. And what if you're study medicine in PK, but then you want to work in UK, so you have to go through a whole examination process...for ex. if u decide to come back to the US u have to take all those exams n stuff that take like 10 years (Exageration) to do..etc. etc.?

we're having a smiliar discussion in the "life in pakistan" (or something) thread..personally if pakistan didnt require physics at Alevel and i could come and practice in england as "normal" then id be in pak without a doubt..id prefer to study in pakistan as i feel its an experience in itself...englands geting a tad bit boring after 21 years..saying that if i did study in pak i think id practice there too as i (my opinion)..pakistan is in dire need of non-stuck up doctors...who think they're extra terrestrial or something because they've studied for 5 yrs...
