Excellent video, it's important applicants understand that rejection is not failure. Every successful person has been rejected in their life. Rejection is an opportunity for learning and a preparation for success.
I missed my Ucl offer by 3 Marks and the rejection hit me hard. I can totally relate to the part where you spoke about the embarrassment about everyone knowing and constantly asking ...which just makes it worse
Hey. It’s really hard I know. But especially situations like yours makes you think there was a reason why. And later on you may be glad you missed the offer, as something better came your way.
My daughter exactly the same as you at doing medicine as a graduate. She also did Biomedical science first. You're very similar in so many ways, including personality, expressions, and outlook. She's currently in the library revising for her finals and thinking about changing her FY1 choices (again).
Really a good story. Thank you. I've been transferring from computer science to med now. It has been nearly 10 years since I decided to go to do neuroscience. Sadly I didn't quite realise it was med/bio thing and failed in my module exams. I'm now applying for phd studentships in labs in top institutions but has no faith to get an offer (cannot find positions for international students in other unis) . How I wish I had another chance, but life is indeed not always what you want.
Hi Yang! Thanks for your comment. Success starts with having faith! You need to believe in your abilities for people to see the same. Plus you won’t lose anything by not succeeding in your application. Life does whatever it wants to you anyway. Although we may think, so we don’t actually have that much control. Good luck with everything 💛
Your videos are really helpful and good ,you deserve to have at least 1 million subscriber ,after taking admission in general medicine i never seen back and never think about past i only think about my future and study study and only study ,it doesn’t matter for me that from where i am getting knowledge i learn from google (wiki),books ,ppts, photos,i learn from everywhere and now i am in third year of my medical school
Really glad to hear, best of luck!! do please let me know how it all goes, and remember not getting a place in medical school is not a failure and there may be lots of plans for you in life that you're not yet aware of :)
eye opening stuff for me. If my UKCAT doesn't go too well next week it is not the end of the world. Like you said if it is meant to happen it will happen and I'm now seriously considering a year out and graduate entry!
Gareth Tomkins when you're applying and going through the stress it feels like it's the most important thing ever. But let things flow and you'll end up being happy as long as you persist in what you believe
The Junior Doctor no am not lol am a social worker but I keep failing my driving and you have given me hope and motivation to never stop trying! So thankyou😍😍😍🖤
Awh I’m glad my little chat is motivating you. I failed my driving test too. And it makes the subsequent tests even more scary. But it’s half luck and half confidence. Stick with it ❤️
Well done, I'm somewhat fascinated by medicine and how the body works. Keep up the fantastic you are so passionate about being a doctor. Congratulations
@@DrEzgiOzcan , Thanks for the reply. I think I'm going down the psychology/psychotherapy route starting next year. Really enjoy watching your videos medicine seems so interesting.
amazing! do everything you enjoy, there is plenty of time for medicine :) thank you!! medicine is interesting, can get quite tiring, but good colleagues make all the difference
I'm applying to UCL this year for medicine and it was so comforting to hear you talk about how you dealt with things even though they didn't go your way!! Just a couple of questions, how come you were so set on UCL in particular compared to Imperial or KCL?? Oooo and do you have any tips for section 3 of the BMAT?
jaaass2809 hi 😊 yes most of the time nothing goes to plan so don't give up! Some of the reasons for UCL were because I was already there for undergraduate, I liked the hospitals they had working with them for the students in clinical years, location was important. And just the general attitude of the university for example it's the first in the U.K. To accept students regardless of sex and race so it feels great to be part such a university 😊 regarding the BMAT I've just made a video on it, but essentially got the BMAT book with lots of essay examples to prepare. Hope that helps! ☺️
Hey Im starting at UCL this year and did quite well in section 3 BMAT, I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have drop me a message shehztadil@gmail.com
Thank you very much for sharing your story with us, it was inspiring! I was wondering if you can give me some advices... I study Medicine in Italy and in May I'm going to apply to the Erasmus+ traineeship project for abroad traineeship. In this project I have to find by myself the hosting university hospital and I would like to do it in the UCL Medical School but I'm not sure if they do those kind of traineeships and who I should write to, and asking what.! As you can see I'm a little bit confused, do you know how does it works or can you give me any advice on how to move in this? Thank you very much for any answer :)
Thank you very much for sharing your story with us, it was inspiring! I was wondering if you can give me some advices... I'm a 24 year old Medicine student in Italy and in May I'm going to apply for Erasmus+ traineeship project for abroad traineeship. In this project I have to find by myself the hosting university hospital and I would really like to do it in the UCL Medical School but I'm not sure if they do those kind of traineeships in UCL and who I should write to... in fact I'm not really sure even what I should ask for because I have no idea of how it works there. As you can see I'm a little bit confused, do you know how does it works or can you give me any advice about how I should approach to this? Any information would be really appreciated! Thank you very much for any answer :)
This is a lovely video ! Big congratulations ! I just wanted to ask when the right time to apply is ? Do you apply the year before you graduate your the year after graduation so in other words can you apply before actually sitting your final exams or do you wait till you have fully graduated ? God bless you
Adaeze101 thank you! 😊 so you apply at the beginning of your last year. Meaning you'll attend interviews whilst preparing for your final exams. This way you get a place in time for graduation.
I'm 20 years old and after high school, I took a gap year to travel. Then I went into my first year of college and ended up withdrawing because I was not interested in my major. Now I'm going back to school this fall, as a pre med and nobody in my family supports me. They keep telling me to be a nurse, because the road to medical school is a long/hard one. I really want to be a doctor, I'm just scared now since my family keeps putting me down for it.
Paola C I can do relate to it! When I told my family members I would be studying for 5 years they all told me to just become a teacher or kept making me doubt if it's what I really wanted. But now at the end of it all they're really proud and even boast about my achievements. And I'm doing the job I love! So if deep down you really want to do it then be brave and go for it! 😊
Wow, this is an extremely inspiring story! I have just sat my UCAT and it has not gone well so i am trying to be optimistic for the BMAT in November, i was just wondering, you mentioned for UCL you have to have a certain score for the written component in the BMAT, but i can't seem to find this information on the UCL website, what was the score you had to achieve?
Thank you 😊 the BMAT cutoff was on their website when I was applying years ago. They may have changed their policy. You can always call the admissions tutor and ask ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us and it was very lovely video. I m from Afghanistan and I’m in 11 grade and I want to study medical. In Afghanistan there is no course of medical perpetration and I want to study in London so I thought you can help me
Im a Chinese student and it’s my last year of IGCSE, I’m going to UK this September for my a level. Becoming a doctors has always being my dream, but I don’t k how could I get more opportunities to being involved into so many job internship. Is there any tips for me to get a head start to apply for UCL?
Thank you so so much for this video! I want to apply to study medicine this year and you've made me feel less worried about applying, so thanks a lot! You mentioned that at UCL they ask you questions about your essay from the BMAT but my worry is that under the pressure of the exam, I will end up writing things that I do not agree with later on, but just seem like a good argument, and whether I will be questioned on why I had made these claims. Also, do you have any specific tips for interviews at UCL? Thanks again! :)
Hi, my gcses got cancelled and i got passes instead. i wanted to ask, would that ruin my chances in getting into medicine even if i get really good a levels?
Love your videos! How did you manage financially with the loans and everything because I was thinking of doing Graduate medicine but the only thing is is that by the end of it I’m going to be in over £100k of debt and kinda wanted to be able to settle down and buy a house after med school 😅
Hi Debra. It’s a question I get all the time. I took out maintenance loans to cover my tuition and worked during the summer holidays to make ends meet. I was eligible for a grant from my university which also helped. The amount of debt you have at the end of your degree doesn’t change the monthly payments you’ll be making so don’t worry about that side of things :)
Hi Ahamed. It’s been a while since I applied for the undergraduate so I wouldn’t know. It’s best to look at the admission page of the university you want to apply for :)
I think i found the on i can ask my questions. I would be most grateful if you could answer my questions. I’m study MBChB as an integrated system at university of Sulaimani School of Medicine, i’d like to continue or resume my studying at UK, would you be so kind as to show me the way or procedure to registration there . Thank you for your motivational words
Hi Deyari, unfortunately this isnt something i know much about. it would be useful to call up the admission tutors of medical schools and ask them directly
Is it really possible to apply during your 2nd year of biomed?? I thought you would have to finish the biomed degree. How come you had a degree after 2 years? Isn't it 3 years biomed?
Hey girl , i do have something that concerns me and would like to get advuce from you. I wasn't studying enough at igcse and just got Bs in sciences and i want to go study medicine at ucl. Do they care about my igcses or is it just the a levels they are concerned about? Btw i have biology chemistry and law (hate maths) and i know that they do appreciate critical thinking subjects so am i on the right track or is this dream already done? Thanks in advance :)
Hi 😊☺️ so usually a levels are more important but some universities want you to have certain grades for gcse. I'm not 100% about the requirements but you'll find all the information here www.ucl.ac.uk/medical-school/study/undergraduate/mbbs-admissions/entry-requirements/entry-reqs-2018.pdf Let me know how you get on x
The Junior Doctor thankyou so much for replying still in the 6th form will be sitting my a levels next year (and maybe I'll resiti chem igcse) and lets see how that will go!! Good luck with whatever you do:D
I know im late but could i ask how many igcse's did you take? Because i have only taken 7 and my school is saying i wont be accepted to med school (i got 1 B and the rest are 9s)
I’m really not 100% about this. The best way to find out is to have a look at the admission criteria page on medical schools webpage. There they will go into the exacts of what they would like in terms of igsce
Hi Bex :) I worked during my summer holidays to save money. I stayed at home which saved me rent and used my maintenance loan to pay for my tuition. I just about made it through. Also the NHS pays for your final year of Med school which helps too
Excellent video, it's important applicants understand that rejection is not failure. Every successful person has been rejected in their life. Rejection is an opportunity for learning and a preparation for success.
precisely :) I guess its easier to see it in hindsight but harder when you're going through the rejection
I missed my Ucl offer by 3 Marks and the rejection hit me hard. I can totally relate to the part where you spoke about the embarrassment about everyone knowing and constantly asking ...which just makes it worse
Hey. It’s really hard I know. But especially situations like yours makes you think there was a reason why. And later on you may be glad you missed the offer, as something better came your way.
this is the most inspirational and motivational video I've ever seen
That is the nicest comment 😊 thank you! Hope it’s been helpful x

Hi Yang! Thanks for your comment. Success starts with having faith! You need to believe in your abilities for people to see the same. Plus you won’t lose anything by not succeeding in your application. Life does whatever it wants to you anyway. Although we may think, so we don’t actually have that much control. Good luck with everything 💛
