How to Choose Medical Schools in the UK: A Strategic Guide
Choosing which medical schools to apply to is one of the most important decisions in your application.
Medicine is one of the most competitive degrees. You have a choice of 33 UK medical schools but are only allowed to put four choices on your UCAS application. This means your school list requires careful strategy.
Many strong applicants are rejected not because they are weak candidates, but because they applied to the wrong combination of universities.
A well-balanced school list can significantly increase your chances of receiving interviews and offers. A poorly constructed one can result in no offers at all.
