pls inspire me to do medicine at uni!!

Okay, that’s perfect.
I’m not sure, I’m struggling to pinpoint it. I have a feeling it’s worrying about not getting the A Level requirements and resitting them are ridiculously expensive!! I assume there’s no other way around it if you don’t get the grades? Also, the personal statement writing seems slightly daunting hahah!

I would say that the fear of rejection/applying is there whatever you apply for - my friend applied for maths and was basically guaranteed 5 offers with her grades yet she was still terrified. The process is pretty stressful but if it's really what you want to do then go for it because you will only regret it if you don't! Good luck 😊
Btw I applied for 2018 entry, had 4 interviews and currently have 1 offer (and 1 rejection :/ ) so if you have any questions I'm happy to help

That is the case for any course. E.g. it happened to me when I applied to Cambridge, I questioned myself so much over whether I would get A*AA and in the end I ended up with 4A*s haha. It pushes you. Also personal statement is going to be a problem for any university and any course! It is unfortunately one of thsoe things you just have to do

Wow, that’s impressive!! I have a feeling it’s a lot of general uni application nerves rather than specific to medicine. UKCAT is quite nerve wracking though

That is true the admissions tests are a test for the nerves indeed! But again it isn't the be all and end all, the likelihood is, provided you work for them, you will do okay. At least okay enough to be interviewed haha

God yeah, i’d like to think so. Hardly surviving a levels, don’t know why I’m considering uni 😰

Medicine shouldn't be equated to other sciences and please consider its very social, ethical and intimate aspects as a prospective Medical applicant.
Medicine is non-identical to other sciences.
You can't resolve a problem in Medicine perfectly but as a Medic, you'd always want to do the best you can.
Is it in your character to do so? If you like having a clear and concise answer then maybe Medicine isn't for you.
You can't get away with having no respect for professionals, individuals who may be your patients and you can't work in Medicine without empathy otherwise you'd have learnt nothing from the profession and the work experiences which you'd have taken.

Good luck with your applications!

yeaaah this conversation might be good once you have done some exams

Yeah, very true! You’re welcome to do those exams for me if you like hahah

Hi everyone! I’m Hania and I really want to do medicine. Basically, I’m super scared about applying. I was just wondering what are the best things about it? I know I want to do it but I’m scared I won’t get the grades and/or not get accepted. I know it’s tough but I just want to know why you all love it and wanted to do it. Is it worth it basically??

haha whilst that sounds like a tantalising offer, with so much for me to gain ... I fear I will have to deny myself the pleasure

The best thing is to help people when they are ill. To help them to get better, maybe to save their lives. Is the feeling helped a human in an emergency successfully and being appreciate for that not the best what you can get?

I loved it and always have done. It’s incredibly interesting!!

What exactly did you love about it? Reflect upon your experience pro and cons.
