“Am I good enough?”
I’ve always wanted to study medicine but closed the door on it having obtained poor A-level grades (BBBC). However, I’ve sorted my priorities and I’m not on track for a 1st class honours in Psychology.
I’ve got lots of disjointed bits of experience, ranging from being teaching assistant at a school specialising in special needs, I volunteer on a mental health ward and part-time in a prison. I also have a part-time job on hospital ward. I’ve shadowed a consultants as well as having first hand experience as a long-term patient (which I here can sometimes be a positive).
Extra-circular wise, I’m on one of the varsity sports teams at university, I have several positions within the university - mainly helping 1st years, mentoring etc. I also am helping build two businesses and I’m a research assistant for one of the main lecturers at the university.
I hope I interview well, so based on this rather brief over-view of what my personal statement will look like, do I stand a chance of getting an interview? It’s just the initial ‘foot-in-the-door’, aspect that’s freaking me out!!
