My gosh girl... they ALL good... better that good... lol... you could go to any one and you would be a a top school... BUT what do you want to get out of going to boarding school? You 100% on the right track - but you need to try THINK about what you want to achieve. It very much depends on what YOU want from the school and what YOU like as a person... for example if the you want if it's very academic and you enjoy study... then it will could be fun and you will go for that type of school... if it's very sports orientated, and you love sports... then it should be for you... or if it's all rounder type school ... you may like to select a school that provides a balance? So it very much depend on the school ETHOS *(the schools culture and philosophy etc) and this ethos will determine the TYPE of people that go there, and what they focus on and you need to see how this fits in with you... you will never get a 100% fit but you will get a FEEL for a school from the web site... then discuss what you think with your parents... On the practical side, it will be best to phone if they dont reply to mails... good work there and all i can say is good luck and go for it. Contact me on if you want on chantal2009@gmail.com!!! Bye for now, let us know how it goes... Chantal

I know someone who goes to the FP medical School - you get your own licience and everything there... http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/fi/fisher-price-medical-kit.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/role-play-toys/fisher-price-medical-kit.asp&h=267&w=400&sz=20&hl=en&start=1&tbnid=AunPChAZgChc0M:&tbnh=83&tbnw=124&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dearly%2Blearning%2Bmedical%2Bkit%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG :-) Sorry that was the best I could do. Hope you get a better answer. ;-)

Haha funny question, as the year I applied for medicine (3 years ago) Brighton, which was thought to be the 'easiest' to get into had 20 applicants per place wheras oxbridge had about 10. I think all are pretty difficult to get into so choose the one that you feel suits you most. I did politics as my third alevel, and knew that UCL liked students who did an arts subject to alevel so applied there. If you're really good at sports or music, I know imperial and oxbridge give sports and music scholarships which may help secure your place. I think in the end though, you're going to be at med school for 5 or 6 years, choose one which you know you'll love for that long. All are competitive so give your personal statement edge- work experience, voluntary work, extracurriculars, leadership skills and good grades and references! Have a look on timesonline they have a ranking of medical schools which may help you decide. Good luck

You can get a doctorate in many subjects in the UK from doctor of medicine to doctor of divinity. Mostly these are post graduate courses http://www.business.uce.ac.uk/Postgraduate/Courses/ http://www.findamasters.com/search/showcourse.asp?cour_id=9192 This site will also be useful http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/

You apply through UCAS. This has to be done by the october the year before you want to start. You will then have to sit an MCAT test which is a 5 hour exam. If you go to the website below it will tell you what there testing you on. http://www.psychometric-success.com/university-graduate-admissions/MCAT.htm You will then have an interview if you pass the MCAT. Just to warn you that med schools here are saturated with only 1 in 10 getting a place. However you may be at an advantage as some unis i think have allocated places for international and postgraduate students. I could be wrong on this though. But if it's what you want go for it.

Yeah apply to UCAS! But you have to have the rigth A levels in order to goto uni to study medicine. You commonly need A in Biology and an A in chemistry. Maths is also a great advantage! x
