Medicine Entry A100 2018/2019 and 2019/2020
Dear University of Birmingham,
I was hoping to ask some stats from your medical students last year.
1. How many students did you accept and give a place to last year with A level grades achieved at AAB (B in extra subject and As in bio and Chem)
2. How did you choose these AAB students if any?
3. If you have an offer holder and he or she had a good interview but dropped one grade at A level and had a EPQ grade B would you still let them attend your medical school?
Yours faithfully,
Ali Shaban
