Hi! First of all, congratulations on getting an interview!! Second, for my interview, I made sure to thoroughly understand any content that I had learned for my A-levels by that point and anything I had already mentioned in my personal statement. I don’t know what might come up in your interview, but in my experience, I found that they really wanted to understand how I thought through and approached content that may be more complex or new. In the end, this was the interview that I actually enjoyed the most, so enjoy the process and just try your best to treat it like an interesting conversation! Don’t be too worried about not getting everything 100% and try to stay open-minded. Good luck :)

Hi Ameer! I think the most important thing is to get organised early, knowing when UCAS application deadlines are for your courses and starting off drafts for personal statements ideally while you’re still in Year 12. Plan to submit the application at a date maybe a week or two earlier than the deadline, so if something gets delayed, you won’t have missed a deadline even in an emergency. Good luck with your application!

@@_arushi_5801 omg thank you so muchhhh... but like all my friends were talking about how you need a gold DofE to apply, but I stopped after silver because i wanted to explore life in general. :(

Hi @DEE ! I would say to use this time as much as possible for building a strong foundation of the Year 12 content for your A levels, since a lot of summer gets taken up by admissions exam prep. A strong foundation of knowledge makes Year 13 content easier to understand and cope with. Along with that, ideally start setting up work experience placements, or volunteering placements to get a clearer understanding of what the profession entails (something helpful to talk about in personal statements and interviews). Additionally, you can read more about working in medicine and about topics that interest you related to the human body! This is the best time to just expand your depth of knowledge and truly understand what really motivates you to go into medicine. It can also be helpful to perhaps work on a first draft of you personal statement but don’t worry about getting it finished now too much since you still have a lot of time till you really need to focus on getting it ready and polished. Hope this helped, Arushi :)

Thank youuuuuu😋❤
