Completing the UCAS online application (see www.ucas.com)<br />
Students applying to the UK apply centrally through UCAS on the ucas.com website and are<br />
allowed to apply to a maximum <strong>of</strong> 5 courses. Students applying to study Medicine are<br />
allowed to apply for a maximum <strong>of</strong> 4 courses. Students wishing to apply to Oxford or<br />
Cambridge can only include one <strong>of</strong> these two universities in their list <strong>of</strong> universities.<br />
Students applying to Oxford are required to do tests which they need to register for<br />
separately. Students applying to Cambridge may be asked to do tests when they go for<br />
interview and to take pieces <strong>of</strong> written work with them. Your application does not have to<br />
be completed all at once. The system allows you to leave a section partially completed so<br />
you can return to it later and change any information you have entered. Full explanations<br />
and help text are available for each section. Once you have completed your section <strong>of</strong> the<br />
application and paid, it will be automatically sent to be reviewed by Ms. Hobson, the careers<br />
guidance counsellor. Then the letter <strong>of</strong> reference and predicted grades will be provided by<br />
the school and entered into your application. The application is approved by Ms. Hobson<br />
and then submitted to UCAS. Remember: you must observe the internal school deadline<br />
to make sure you application is received by UCAS on time!<br />
June 15, 2012 Students should submit a rough draft <strong>of</strong> personal statement and meet with<br />
