I need to find an affordable, stylish tote bag for school, UK only, help.?
I'm going into year 9, and I need a new bag to carry all of my books in it. It has to be affordable, and colourful, not something from Next or Topshop or anything like that, which is just black and brown with gold studs, I really want a colourful tote bag, not a backpack or anything. I have found a really nice canvas messenger bag from a Coca Cola store, here's the link: http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/colacorner_2119_6662990 but I'm not sure if it's big enough for my books, I need this bag for the rest of the year :/ Thank you :) I have found this bag so far, do you think I could use it for school? http://www.monsoon.co.uk/All-Day-Bags/Union-Jack-Weekend-Bag/invt/78958799 I need online websites, thanks.

You could try Accessorize. I've seen some cute and colourful tote bags of a good size in there that I'd like to buy for myself! They don't have any weird studding or anything, and look really feminine but practical as well. Some of them even look a bit shiny, like they might be harder wearing and easier to clean. Have a look and see what you think. Hope this helps!

It's okay, cute too, but remember in high school they will make you have a journal in practically every subject(class) except P.E. And binders, and books. It will suck if your school doesn't have lockers. So good luck☺

Primark Or Accesorize!

Medicine in this country isn't split into pre-med and medical school. In this country, when you apply to university you do so to study one subject and when you get there that is all you study, whether it be, for example, maths, history or medicine. Therefore, when our medical students turn 18 they go to university and study medicine from the get go and nothing else. As a result they spend 5 or 6 years (the length of the course differs according to the university) studying medicine as part of one continuous course before qualifying as a doctor.

I'm currently in the business of applying for this at the minute. So in the UK you finish compulsory education at 16, you can now legally go and get a job but most people carry on to take their A levels at a 6th form, college or academy. This takes two years. You then apply (well, you actually start applying during the second year of A levels) for university. You can apply to four medical schools, and the process is pretty similar to applying for any other degree (except there are a few more hoops to jump through, for example, extra tests like the UKCAT or BMAT). If you want you can also apply for one other subject which many people do so they have a back up as getting into medical school is very competitive. If the schools like your application they may invite you for interview, they may then make you an offer of a place (which is usually conditional, eg. if you get AAB in your A levels you can have a place). If you get the grades, no problem, you're in - if not, they may still take you or you resit and try again next year. I'm sure like in the US grades are not the only requirement, they also look at your conduct, hobbies, volunteer work, character etc. etc. before making their desicion. Overall the degree is 5-6 years, depending on if you intercalate (take another degree in the middle, for example, have a year of for medicine and get a BSc in neurology or something) or if you do a foundation course (for students who didnt have the oppurtunity to take the right sciences at GCSE or AS/A level). Pretty much everyone then does the first two years of clinical practice near where they qualified so you can be looking at staying in the same place for up to eight years.

American high school to medical school in the UK
American high school to medical school in the UK?
I hear that in the UK you can go into medical school as soon as you get out of high school. SO i was wondering if this was true and also how much would it cost to do this?? And also if you become a doctor in the UK would it be possible to come back to America and use your degree here?

You can go straight to Med school in the UK, but you would need about six incredible A-levels as a British student. These are intensive and very challenging exams top students take at the end of high school. Or, you could take the American equivalent, about 10 - 12 APs with grades of 5 on all of them, usually in: - Physics B - Physics C - BC Calc - Stat - Chemistry - Biology - Foreign Language - EnvSci - English - Psych - Latin All these along with nearly perfect SAT II scores in these same subjects. A regular American high school education will NOT by any means cut it. Tuition is similar to American med schools - about 45,000 dollars a year. You can certainly use a British medical degree in the States. Best of luck =]

The first response is mostly correct, but to clarify, A Levels are courses, not just exams. And it is accurate to state that a US high school diploma is not going to meet the admission requirements to a UK medical school. Equally important, UK medical schools rarely accept US students for the simple fact that US students leave the UK to go back to the US. Nobody can practice medicine in the US until they have successfully passed the US Medical Licensing Exam. The USMLE Step 1 exam is entirely focused on the Basic Sciences, which are emphasized in US medical schools far more than anywhere else, so anybody not educated in a US medical school is at a disadvantage. For this reason, many foreign trained physicians cannot practice in the US or they must take additional classes in the Basic Sciences. If you think students in the UK get to practice medicine sooner than their US counterparts, you are mistaken. Although most of the world enrolls students into medical schools straight out of high school, the medical schools and residency training are longer. In other words, it still about 11 years to become an independent practitioner. There aren't any short cuts to becoming a physician.

If you're a US citizen wanting to go to the UK for medical school you are wasting your time. It's not impossible to get accepted by a UK medical school, just very unlikely. Not only do you have that issue, but then you have to figure out how you'd pay for it. No federal student loans for overseas education. The best description of medical schools in the UK is provided by Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_school_%28United_Kingdom%29
