I think they will still have quite a few to send out! They interview throughout March, and I don't know of anyone with a March interview yet :smile:

Honestly, if I get rejected from St Andrews, I will be destroyed since it is my first choice tied with UCL, and I've already been rejected from Leeds and Nottingham. :frown:

Yeah, I can try to give you some!

I guess the first thing is the UKCAT. If someone says you can't study for the UKCAT or get better, that's rubbish! I got 2380 last year, and studied a lot harder this year, and boosted my score up! As did another girl I met at interview! You can definitely improve a lot after a year!

If you're taking a gap year, I would say do something that is going to develop a lot of skills and something that's medically related (if possible)! I know quite a few people that have went abroad for their gap year, but I stayed in Scotland and now I work in the new children's hospital in Glasgow as an events organiser. It's definitely the best thing I've ever done! It's actually really fun, and it's like a year long work experience placement haha! Quite a few people become healthcare assistants or work in care homes! There's so many things you can do I guess. I would just make sure you do something you enjoy!

I hope this helps in some way! Sorry if it doesn't!!

Haha, I work for Yorkhill Children's Charity rather than the NHS! I probably wouldn't get a job in NHS events because of my age! Thanks haha! Yeah, it's paid!
