How can you have a medical degree if you are only 22?...
I could be wrong and it would be useful information to know, but does a medical degree not take 5 years (at least) to complete...
My thoughts exactly. It's clear anyway that academic achievement isn't a huge factor in the selection criteria or they would at least demand A-levels...not surprising considering Branson's background. I would imagine your rejection is based more on a lack of relevant work experience; perhaps lacking imagination in the essay questions; or just a lack of any exciting experiences outside of academia (can you demonstrate strong leadership and teamwork?). One of the biggest criteria in the RAF selection is sense of adventure, for example, and service knowledge & current affairs are just as important.
