2:05 made my day

[@rockydj8320]

Thank you for such an informative video. I did not see any section where to add CV. Does UCAS require CV. Also, where do I need to add my transcripts in the application?

[@choisok]

Hello!! I’m just letting you know that the students details are visible at 5:57 !! You might want to edit that ^^

UCAS specifies not to put volunteer work under Employment, yet I'm a bit worried that med schools would miss that from my PS. I also heard (as you also mentioned) that people would just put them there anyway. How important is it that you put your volunteer experience there?

[@FutureDoc]

Based on experience, you can put your volunteer work under Employment. However, if you choose not to make sure you describe this in your personal statement where relevant.

I have several certificates from several Universities that I got from some online course providers such as Coursera, Udemy etc. Which section should I enter them? Education? If Yes it is now asking me for the certificate name so when I have more than one certificate from the same University I cannot separate them. Please help me with adding my certificates to the application.

[@rockydj8320]

In the Reference section, should I put the adress of the referee or is it for school?

[@beetaetrakul6118]

Can you please make a video to explain about how to apply for apprenticeship? Thanks

[@FutureDoc]

We will take your request under advisement. Thank you!

[@yessslawwwd4214]

As a GEM where do you add your Bsci degree? There doesnt seem to be an option in education?

[@FutureDoc]

You submit your qualification under the Education section. You add a qualification and can put in your university and go from there.

Hello As an independent Graduate Entry Medicine Applicant, should I include my UCAT and GAMSAT exam in the education section as a qualification? I phoned UCAS and asked this and was told to add it, but because I am not affiliated with any educational institution as I am currently in full time employment, I wasn't sure how best to add this. I am also aware that all the FAQs suggest that the UCAT report is sent directly to the University and that it is not necessary to add it to the UCAS application. I just want to ensure that nothing is missed because I have no one checking my application as an independent applicant. Additionally, I wasn't sure whether to add a voluntary HCA part time role I have, under the "Extra Activities" section, because the "Employment" section suggests this is for paid work only. This HCA role has been highlighted in my personal statement, but I also wanted to highlight this work and the fact it is ongoing in my application if appropriate Are you able to help advise on these queries?

[@FutureDoc]

Your UCAT and GAMSAT scores will be made available to the universities you have applied for directly, you do not have to do anything for this. It's a good idea to add your HCA part time role in the employment section, this has been done in the past with no issues.

Hello, how long does it take AFTER my application on UCAS to be reviewed by the specialists and be sent to the 5 unis I have chosen? Or does it get sent to the unis right away? Thank you

[@isy2rapsblondie647]

As soon as you get your reference in from your members of staff and submitted your personal statement, then it goes to someone in school/college who submits it to the Uni. Then all the universities that you applied to get it but the length it takes for them to give you an offer varies depending on the size of the Uni and the amount of courses they do and the size of classes on the course(s) you applied to

[@Ucandoit-n2f]

I am an International student and my school is gonna provide my reference. Will it be okay to be an independent applicant or is it compulsory for me to be a center linked applicant

[@FutureDoc]

It is fine to have an independent application

[@SebRowe-w1f]

If I am applying to both graduate and undergraduate entry, in the initial part do I still state that my application is undergraduate 2025?

[@FutureDoc]

Yes, you apply as an undergraduate application. Both graduate and undergraduate medicine count as an undergraduate degree.

[@questionsigetjustlikethat2213]

Are the predicted grades manually entered in the education section by the referee or mentioned in the reference

[@FutureDoc]

Your referee enters them, this is something schools are familiar with.

[@angelalau3841]

"In this video, it seems that there is no need to include GCSE results in the UCAS application. How will the university know this? Also, how do universities view resits for certain GCSE subjects?"

[@FutureDoc]

It is important to include all your qualifications in the 'Education' section, this includes GCSEs. There is no blanket guidance on resits, some universities have a specific stance on this so it is worth checking directly with the universities you plan to apply to

[@PRESENTESFWI-gj6ei]

In UCAS application for international student, where can i add/mention UCAT score? Kindly assist.

[@FutureDoc]

The UCAT score is sent to your chosen universities by Pearson VUE directly when they request it. You do not have to complete any actions for this

[@sushreesaiamrutanayak679]

Make videos on scholarship

[@FutureDoc]

[@atharvigupta4250]

[@FutureDoc]

These will get sent to the universities you have applied to automatically by Pearson-Vue

[@Maizeak]

how are u a doctor and a dentist

[@Emily-lo6rn]

I did an undergraduate pre-health qualification in Canada and am applying to dentistry, is there a different application process for graduate applicants?

[@FutureDoc]

The application process is still the same. You have a choice of undergraduate or graduate medicine courses.

[@sushreesaiamrutanayak679]

Hello Dr Ash I have some genuine queries First of all I am a UG final year student from India with zoology honours..Should I apply this year or should I wait for completion of my graduation.

How to apply as an international Student,what are the points that I should keep in my minds before applying for it and please make some more lecture videos for the important topics and give us some questions bank to practice and create a telegram channel or any other channel for us to participate and get engage with you frequently.

[@FutureDoc]

Hello, There are many factors that go into applying, including the aptitude exams which you must have done prior to applying. This being said, if you have done them you can definitely apply during your final year. You can also apply to both undergraduate and grade entry courses, considering the financial implications of both. Have a look at our international applicant videos for more guidance. I've linked it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2aXkJ56ZbF3ZrM Hope that helps!

[@mochimochi4465]

I am a foreign student, I took IGCSE in my home town, how can I upload the results to ucas?

[@FutureDoc]

You should have a transcript of your grades and use this to fill out the education section

[@LidiaMesfin-u5s]

Is there a way an international student submit UCAS to a university for free?

[@FutureDoc]

There is a charge for all UCAS applications regardless of home or international status

[@LidiaMesfin-u5s]

Okay, but I am searching for schoolarships in UK and I am not able to cover UCAS fee. Is there a way I can get a UCAS fee waiver as international student?

[@fantasticworld-fu5cr]

[@FutureDoc]

If you are applying in 2024 you will be expecting the start in September/October 2025

[@JOR20.A]

Please can you show us how can mention that I am from the widening participate?

[@FutureDoc]

Every university will have its own guidance on widening participation where they consider it. I advise looking on their individual websites or emailing the admissions teams for the universities you are considering.
