            zeemimi, DD is very busy for these 2 weeks with PW. She has put side this matter until she is free to think.

            So I also dont know if she plans to take up any H3 subject.

                Same same. PW is THE thing now. Dd only has a wk to decide on H3. So whether pw or not she has to do some hmwk and decide.

                  Hi,


                  Can anyone advise what's the benefit of studying H3 as a subject for the A level?

                  Mostly for scholarship applications. Or if you want to get a headstart before entering university. Its not really required for university admissions. A student with straight As with just 3H2/1H1 can still get into medicine and it won't be any easier for you just because you have a H3 or even 4H2.

                  It might also be of some use to UK and US applicants. I've only ever seen two UK offers which included H3s, though H3s might be a good way of demonstrating an interest in the subject for the personal statement. The US unis just generally like to see that students have taken the most difficult course load possible, especially the top tier ones.

                  It's also a pretty good way of finding out if you like/ are inclined towards a specific subject. I did H3 Game Theory, discovered I had little affinity with numbers, and then fled far away from Economics šŸ˜“

                      it is like 'since you tell me how good you are then show it to me in the actual grades by meeting this offer condition'.

                        Just wondering, how important are promos and prelim grades for early University applications for UK Medicine? Any one has any experience with applying through UCAS who can share? If I'm correct, I think they only ask for predicted grades and PW/H1 MT grades - is this true?


                        As for predicted grades, do JCs inform students or are the grades a 'secret'? For the reference to be submitted, does this refer to the school leaving testimonial that every graduating student receives, or do applicants have to approach a teacher to write a separate report and then get the teacher to submit it on their behalf? Or will students get to see this reference - what I mean is, will the teacher hand the reference back to the student after writing, and then the student submits it through UCAS himself?

                        Hope some kind souls can enlighten me. Thanks in advance. šŸ™‚
