    Hey bro, your videos are inspirational and quite helpful. I wanna ask you a question, I missed the UKCAT exam last year and l don't think l did really well in my A level exam this year. Do you think it's worth retaking year 13 and how likely is it l will be accepted by medical school? If l don't get offers, is it worth doing Extended medical degree program?

    How did you answer confidently and expressed your thoughts effectively despite having English as your second language? I can speak English fluently but I just lose it when I’m nervous. I have a lot of thoughts but sometimes find it difficult to express them. Got any tipss??

    • @RyhanHussain
      @RyhanHussain  Před 6 lety +2

      Think of it as a conversation between 2 people, not an interview, in my head I used to think that they already like me as a person which is why they’ve given me an interview they just want to know if I’m able to communicate normally with them

      Isaac Khan salaam bro - it was for medicine and it was Bristol uni. Have to say it was hard but that was because I was proper nervous - I would say be confident and just go for it and don't overthink any question they ask you

    • @sairamasood9312
      @sairamasood9312 Před 6 lety

      have yo8 tried speaking to your careers teacher or like your form tutor or head of year coz they'll advise you what to do and basics try talking to the head of chemistry and bio or head of science and see what they say. But if you do want to take those a levels then you've got catching up to do. My friend changed hers from psychology to Bio, just recently, so I guess its still not too late for you.

      seriously unless you are going to good uni in london just dont live out

    Disagree with the advice about not mentioning chemistry. For graduate entry medicine, chemistry is a requirement when biology is often not necessary at all. It’s important for undergrad too.

    @raccuia1 Před 5 lety

    This is an example of inexperienced late teens people giving bullshit answers to appease the interviewer. It would be better I think to ask the interviewer if they want a bullshit answer or the truth. They will say the truth. The reason I want to do medicine is the MONEY is good when I start work. Also because I'm a smart bastard I will do medicine to wank and have a prestigious job. Or if you are say asian, maybe your parents locked the door and made you study until you are a flaming doctor. After you have been honest then you can go into the bullshit. I enjoy biology, I enjoy meeting people ( what a lot of bullshit that one is), I enjoy helping people. Keep it concise, assertive and don't ramble.
