medic mentor summer school

people actually shell out three grand for these summer schools?

edit: not trying to be contentious, just actually surprised

its one of the cheaper options surprisingly! plus it comes with a lot of support for medical school applications outside of the summer school like in person interview practise days, access to all of their other programmes and an interview for a scholarship for med school. you also get your personal statement done in a couple of days and ucat revision with successful applicants and doctors!

yeah but c'mon, I struggle to see how that's worth 3 grand?

okay that’s fine you can check their website and reviews for yourself if you want to. i’ve done a lot of research into it and i think it’ll be very helpful for my application. my parents are comparing it to my friends getting cars for their birthdays (which are arguably more expensive), my braces would have cost that much if i hadn’t got them free. it’s a lot of money but i think i’ll get a lot out of it.

I have no problem with your decision it really doesn't affect any of us, if you're worried about friends at the summer school, you'll get added to a massive slack group chat and will meet loads of people over residential so there's no hurry to meet people yet. I'm sure you'd get a better response from asking on the slack group chat then here where people (rightfully in my eyes) discourage paying for anything to help your application. I did it completely for free ish (ucat and bmat subscription but nothing else) and got an offer which is all you need but I wish you the best of luck with your application. do come back and let us know what you think of the summer school once you have all of your unis respond to you I'd be interested to hear your honest opinion and review

hi everyone! just wondering whether anyones going to the medic mentor summer school in london on the 9-13th? if so reply we can be friends

Only just saw this oops. I'm going! Looking forward to seeing you

will do! i totally agree with the paying bit, i wouldnt be paying for anything but the ucat subscription if it werent for the summer school anyways. i just think it would be a really exciting experience for me to get more help with my application, interviews etc and to meet some new people, ive missed out on all of my school trips and holidays for the last two years cause of covid so it will be nice to get away for a week too.

Hey did you completed summer school at medic mentor .. how is the experience? Is it worth spending that money ? Does it help you reaching ur goal ?

hey, so all of us in this thread didn't pay for it as we are WAMS students. We can't speak yet in terms of how helpful it is as we haven't applied and we can update you in a few months IF we start getting offers. But so far, it has been very useful : )

Hopefully u would have written UCAT by now .. with respect to UCAT result does medic mentor summer school helped ?

personally, yes it did help me as you could access 1-1 tutoring at any time and whenever you wanted with a medical student and they could really give you that support : )

I’m pretty sure it’s for people who have low income
