work experience is not easily secured in Malaysia unless one is from a medical family. Planning ahead is therefore essential for kids intending to study med in UK.
For malaysians who intend to do a 5 year undergraduate med programme in Aust which is  recognised by SMC,only 2 unis ,Monash Clayton and UTAS are available.Correct me if I am wrong.

cckkpr, I know that students in Concorde College are coached for UKCAT, and their PS are also guided (read edited).

As for rejections, I know of an applicant (who did IB in Spore, with very good academic results), and was rejected outright by all 4 unis he applied to, without interviews. UKCAT scores unknown.

For my personal experience, i check my intended unis website and look at what they want in the candidate. I email to the admission officer for more info. I read almost all forums on UK medicine.
I volunteer for orphanages, hospice and teaching disabled children. I follow careworkers out to poor terminally ill patients.
Aa for Ukcat, u should get your score first before applying, ao there is no reason to apply to wrong unis. But a lot of top students assume that with good results, they can get into the top unis.
