UK Medical School Application Process! Part 3
Naturally it takes some time for results to come out, in this case, I think it was about a month later. I didn't have a waking moment when I wasn't worrying about when or if I would get a good score. What is worse, I didn't have some sort of benchmark to hope for, as I didn't know what the university wanted.
In the meantime, I got an offer to study Biomedical sciences at a London university, I was so happy to receive that offer, it was almost enough to make me cry. O.K. it wasn't medicine, but it was a last resort at least. I could always do graduate entry medicine...
Anyway, I eventually received my results, my heart stopped a beat as I opened the envelope, and low and behold I got 19.2 out of 32. Now, for those of you who know the BMAT, this is a pretty good score, its just past average, so I thought that at least I have a fighting chance.
Anyway, Christmas comes and goes, and I have still not heard anything from any of my choices. Then one bright day, about the middle of Jan, I hear my mum rush down the stairs and comes and hugs me, I have an interview with a University to study medicine! I was so ecstatic, I called all my friends and told them. Of course, with the interview, I had to prepare, but what were they going to ask me....?
Note: I am a bit bored of writing these memoirs post event, so I think I will stop, as it doesn't make for interesting reading. If anybody is interested, just leave a comment and I may continue it. For now, I will just stick with current events.

Hey Adam!
I followed your link from the oekaki and decided to post some congratulations! That's quite a success story, from what I read! I didn't even know that it was possible to start studying medicine at 18. I'm really happy for you and I love the name you gave yourself "The Dragon Medic"... staying true to dragons. ;)
I myself am in my very first couple weeks of university for animal biology, in hopes of making it to vet college in 2-4 years. Add me or just send me an e-mail at muddslide@hotmail.com
Thanks so much for hosting the best oekaki ever, and being such an awesome admin! Best of luck in all of your studies.

Hey there adam! I'm so glad to hear about these great opportunities coming your way :D I wish you the best of luck! Also, do you think we could perhaps appoint another admin to help me out while you're at university? I've found myself neglecting the site a bit since school started and I feel bad.
