I would love to know the answer to this as well

[@nkuliziyanda8185]

Hy sihle I'm currently doing matric and Im interested in studying medicine at the university of Limpopo ,,I just want to ask when are the application at the university of Limpopo opening ,, please make a video o how to apply at up,,,,I just got my marks I'm a C learner when it comes to maths and and a B learner in physics ,,is there any chance for me to get distinctions at the end of the year

[@ituleo697]

For one to knw when each university open go to their website. Or just google. They OPEN FROM 1 April to 30 November 2021 N it depends on u, if u work hard u can get level 7. Remember spaces are limited n competition is tough. DNT APPLY ONLY IN LIMPOPO BUT TO ALL THE UNIVERSITY HE HAS MENTIONED

[@debrah_dante2939]

@@ituleo697 wow till 30..them that means that i can apply with my prelims right?......coz term 1 marks are not so gud

[@ituleo697]

@@debrah_dante2939 pls Chek which university closes then but most universities for Medicine are open from April to June University of Pretoria is 30th of MAY I think... I think it was a typo on the November part, I think I wanted to Write 30th June ... Apologies on that one Thus I said such info is found on their websites. U have Term 1 n Term 2 results to use. Otherwise if they are both not good that something else. By the time yall get prelims results that's too late as most universities would be close. N remember certain universities use ur grade 11 to form part of selection I think UP N WITS not sure But SMU, WALTER SISULU, UL, UFS, UKZN dnt u can apply with ur matric results

[@ituleo697]

B n C are level 5 n 6, for applications purposes u qualify then wats left is for u get distinctions, hopefully that can get u space ( depending on competition) Certain universities meeting minimum requirements can shortlist u while waiting for ur final. Results but certain universities have 3 level of selection Eg PRE SELECTION- meeting requirements level 5 /rejection = less than minimum is immediate rejection INTERMEDIATE - conditional offer/waiting list - looking at the number of spaces n competition. FINAL ADMISSION - This is the most crucial stage Certain universities like SMU its two 1. INITIAL SELECTION Rejection / meeting requirement - meaning if ur marks are below requirements ul be rejected immediately. Otherwise if u meet minimum requirements ur application will be awaiting selection (pending ur final results) 2. FINAL ADMISSION based on ur distinction

Thank you Sihle, looking forward to watch your videos again .

[@dumisanimugari2835]

I'm currently doing my first year in Stellenbosch university,I was a graduate in electrical engineering. You are correct,they need a motivational letter with your application,and if you get shortlisted you are invited for an interview. If you are successful then you will be part of the 20 students selected. It is very competitive

[@thatomoacwiemang9892]

Hey. What was your average for your degree? And where did you do it? Was it at Stellenbosch?

[@dumisanimugari2835]

@@thatomoacwiemang9892 the average was +/- 74% but I did really well in matric I just didn't go straight into medicine from high school because of funding. I personally wouldn't advice anyone to do engineering as a way to get into medicine though because it is extremely difficult,you are more likely to fail than get a high average. And I did it at VUT. And Stellenbosch is not really specific on the average to get in with your qualification but 75% should be okay,and also a motivational letter gives you a chance to explain your academic, professional and extra curricular work which can improve your chances if you do alot such as volunteering and community projects,they are interested in a holistic applicant who offers more than just academics. And there are people who did various degrees from music,law ,BSc ,etc so your average matters not the qualification

[@thatomoacwiemang9892]

@@dumisanimugari2835 Thank you so much for that clarity. Do they have specific requirements from matric? I fear my grades were very bad for my matric. I am a third year nursing student in UWC now and I can confidently say my marks are shining

[@prosperitygama9730]

I'm doing my Bsc in stellies and they don't require a motivational letter if you already in stellies.

Would really apprecaite a video on medical students dropping out because nost high school students believe that once they're studying medicine they've "made it" but many people dont graduate. Also how to keep up and basically not fail

Thanks for the video But can u also make a video on the minimum requirements from all medical school

[@ituleo697]

He mentioned. Minimum requirements for MBCHB in all the university is level 5, but SMU is level 6. But honestly dat does not matter because Getting those level 5 or 6, does not guarantee one space n truth be told level 5 or 6 are not enough COMPETITION IS VERY TOUGH

Hey Sihle. Thank you for this informative video. If you completed matric(with good marks) but want to upgrade, which route should one take to make it to medical school?

[@sihlemedic]

Hey , I wouldn't recommend upgrading. I know people who upgraded, got A's and still had to do other degrees before getting in medicine. If you don't get accepted with your matric Marks rather enrol for any degree at University and apply with your first year marks for medicine.

[@thabileangel]

Oh alright. Thank you.😇

[@ituleo697]

NB NB NB guys apply to all the SA universities..... 1. SMU/MEDUNSA their aps is no longer level 5 but level 6, but as u explained getting level 6, does not guarantee space 2. Only UP n WITS have BCMP not limpopo 3. The GEMP exam for those with degrees at WITS is not easy its a 4 hour exam of ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY N MOLECULAR BIOLOGY. so if u see u dont have time to study for it just apply to start in 1st yr. (this is directed to those with degrees) as GEMP entrance is not easy

Is it recommended that you buy the textbooks in order to study for it
