Graduate Entry Medicine: Can I apply with A-levels pending?
Graduate Entry Medicine
Answer Yes. It's not uncommon for applicants to take A-level Chemistry alongside their degree in order to become eligible to apply. It is acceptable to apply with a result pending as long as a final grade will be awarded within the standard A-level results window in mid-August. Were the offer of a place to be made, the conditions of the offer would be very likely to include a particular grade in the A-level(s).
Graduate Entry Medicine: Can I nominate more than two supplementary referees?
Graduate Entry Medicine
Answer No. It is important that all applicants have the same number of references and so it is only possible to nominate two referees.
Graduate Entry Medicine: Do I need the practical endorsement for A-level Chemistry?
Graduate Entry Medicine
Answer We do not require the practical endorsement for A-levels taken as an external candidate, which should reduce the cost of sitting the exams.
Graduate Entry Medicine: Can I change a nominated referee having submitted the Supplementary Application form?
Graduate Entry Medicine
Answer We hope that applicants will discuss their applications with their two supplementary referees and that nominated referees will be able to provide a reference. In the event that a nominated referee is unable to provide a reference, applicants should send an email to geadmissions@medsci.ox.ac.uk to state clearly the referee who should be removed from the application and full contact details of the replacement referee. It will not be possible for the deadline to be extended, however, and so applicants should ensure that a replacement referee is aware of our timelines.
Graduate Entry Medicine: Do the Supplementary Application Form and Reference Form have character/word limits?
Graduate Entry Medicine
Answer Yes. Both forms include questions for which there is a maximum character limit of 4000 characters (including spaces). We are confident that the character limits will not compromise the quality of response to either form.
Graduate Entry Medicine: How will I know when references have been submitted?
Graduate Entry Medicine
Answer Applicants will receive an automatic email when each of their referees completes the reference form.
Graduate Entry Medicine: I already have copies of references; can I send those to be considered with my application?
Graduate Entry Medicine
Answer No. Our reference form specifically asks referees to consider applicants against our particular selection criteria and the demands of our course and so it is very unlikely that a reference written to support an application elsewhere would be helpful.
Graduate Entry Medicine: How do I report extenuating circumstances?
Graduate Entry Medicine
Answer We provide a form through which applicants can outline extenuating circumstances that may have impacted upon past academic performance; details are available on the Application Procedure webpage.
Graduate Entry Medicine: Do I need to identify referees before completing the Supplementary Application form?
Graduate Entry Medicine
Answer Yes. The form requires applicants to provide the details of two supplementary referees, who will be automatically contacted on submission of the form. Applicants are strongly advised to ensure that they enter referees' details carefully.
