Graduate Entry Medicine: Can I apply with A-levels pending?
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?
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?
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?
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?
Answer Yes. The Supplementary Application Form includes some structured questions for which the maximum word limit is 250 words; assessors will not take account of material that is beyond that number. Referees are asked to use a maximum of 750 words in their submissions. We are confident that the word limits will not compromise the quality of response to either form.
Graduate Entry Medicine: How will I know when references have been submitted?
Answer Applicants will receive an automatic email when each of their referees completes the reference form.
