Apart from UMS score and BMAt, what else do Cambridge put stronger emphasis on?

Hi! i am now in Year 11, want to study medicine in the university. I decide to take Math, Biology, Chemistry and Physics in a level, i am asking if i am necessary to take Further Math as a fifth AS subject cuz that could give me an advantage.
Can you share your experience in preparing Bmat and choosing A level subjects?

Hey Helenia,

Just out of curiosity, what have you chosen as your specialty?

Hi Helenia,

I've lurked the forums for a while and seen how aspiring you are especially in giving advice, I'm at a deadend when it comes to applying for med school, and was wondering if I could maybe pm you briefly and ask for some much needed advice as I feel I need advice from someone who is both helpful and has a lot of experience in medical admissions.

Hi Helenia! I wanted to ask, at Cambridge, what was your intercalated course, and did you choose it? Do you still do your Medicine stuff while you do the intercalated degree? Is that year easier and totally seperate from Medicine, or is it just as hard?

Hi Helenia! Im currently an aspiring medic and just wanted to ask for your advice on going to uni abroad... how likely is it to secure and FY2 place back in the UK after doing the 6 year MD abroad?

Hey,

I am looking to do my elective in London this summer - am in third year at the moment. I emailed a few people at UCLH (including the Heart) but no one has gotten back to me. I am really interested in Cardiothoracic surgery and A&E - I am hoping to somehow do a bit of both in June. I saw a post where you said you might be able to help with an elective at the heart and was hoping for your guidance Helenia.

Thanks.

Hey Helenia.
I was wondering whether I would be able to PM you about some advice regarding this post:

I just have some questions about confidentiality and when doctors are allowed to break it regarding mental health. I've done some research myself but I'm a little confused and I found your post to be very helpful. I wanted to post here first, because I imagine you must receive a lot of PMs about Medicine in general and I didn't want to bother you if you're busy.

Thanks.

Hi Helenia,
I have an interview tomorrow at Clare College, and I was wondering if you could give any last minute tips on what I should have fresh in my mind before the interview. Any advice would be much appreciated!
