<p>I am going to be a sophomore in high school in the fall. i go to school in the US. I am in the IB program and I am a full IB diploma candidate for the class of 2016. I know you need to take the BMAT, UKCAT, and SATs to get in. I also want to be a doctor so i want to get into the medical program once i graduate high school. But what are the IB requirements? I also know you need work experience which is why i plan to volunteer at a local hospital. i want to know the process too. i'm confused on the whole matter so i will need your help.</p>
<p>Hey i’m currently a medical student in the UK from Canada. Generally UK medical schools offers are around 38+ IB or higher. </p>
<p>I know my school St Andrews is 38 IB requirement.
Manchester and UCL are probably around 38 as well.
Oxford they will be 40-42 to be competitive.</p>
<p>A few things to note
- It’s incredibly difficult to get into medicine in the UK as an international applicant because places are capped by the government
- Entry requirements are clearly stated on the websites of each and every university. Some will want BMAT, others will want UKCAT. Can’t see them wanting SAT though if you have IB.
- You need work experience, including hands on patient care (eg in a nursing home) and non-hospital work.
- I’d seriously recommend visiting The Student Room, which has an excellent medical forum for current and prospective UK medical students
- You can apply to up to 4 medical schools in one year, plus one non-medicine course. All applications are handled through UCAS.</p>
<p>since i am a US citizen, will i need to take an extra year for a degree or something? i checked on the website and it said something like that for US students but i dont know if it applies to the medical school. and plus will i need to have an interview? if i do, will i need to go to the uk and have it there or is it a phone call?</p>
<p>I’m aware that UCL have a foundation year for US applicants, but it’s not clear to me if this applies to medicine. There is some info here [Entry</a> Requirements](<a href=“http://www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-students/international-students/country-information/north-america/united-states/entry-requirements]Entry”>http://www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-students/international-students/country-information/north-america/united-states/entry-requirements) and if that doesn’t enlighten things for you then I would suggest emailing them. </p>
<p>Yes, you will need to have an interview. I don’t know if they will accept a Skype interview, but you can always ask. If the cost of flights over is going to be a major issue, then truth be told you probably can’t afford to do a medicine degree in the UK anyway.</p>
<p>Out of the 3 universities which is probably the easiest to get into? (Oxford, UCL, Manchester). the cost of flights over there for me is no problem.</p>
<p>There’s no such thing as a medical school being “easiest” to get into - they’re all so incredibly competitive that it’s a complete lottery anyway, even for UK applicants. </p>
<p>Also, you need to find a fourth medical school to apply to.</p>
<p>hello im currently a high school student and im looking into going to UCL and i’m also taking IB classes but not full is that good enough to get in and also how do i get excepted because im taking alot of SAT classes at the moment? what score is good?</p>
<p>I’ve been looking at UCL’s website, and I can’t find a detailed description of what the requirements for U.S. Applicants are.</p>
<p>In terms of the IB, this is what it says:</p>
<p>“The normal requirement for admission to UCL is the award of the Diploma achieved with good grades across individual subjects. UCL’s standard minimum requirement is 34 points overall, with a combined score of 16 achieved in three higher level subjects with no grade lower than 5. However, many of our programmes have higher entry requirements than this.”</p>
<p>KEVP</p>
<p>what is UCL SAT score that they require ?</p>
<p>I have been looking at UCL’s website, and I can find NO MENTION of the SAT.</p>
<p>I think it is likely that they don’t accept it.</p>
<p>The SAT is an American thing, and UCL is not in America, it is in London, which is a city in England, which is part of the United Kingdom. They have a completely different educational system in the United Kingdom, that does not involve the SAT.</p>
<p>KEVP</p>
<p>^Many British universities require the SAT from American applicants.

UCL isn’t too clear about it’s requirements on standardized testing. I would email them and ask whether they require the SAT or not.</p>
<p>from what i saw ucl needs at least a 1950/2400 SAT score. i know you need work experience for med school. what kind of work? i’m planning to volunteer at a hospital. i’m 15, which is a minor in the US. so what can i do to fulfill the needs of work experience for med school in the uk?</p>
<p>They usually state what work experience is required, sometimes its in a caring environment so can be an old peoples home or nursery.
