Haha I’ve definitely explained somewhere but probably not this thread 😂 basically it is my bottom choice, which is part of it but mainly it’s because the company I work for have labs there so I’d try to get a position working with them for a gap year, then I could have a better idea of the city and hopefully accommodation and stuff before I started my course

I'm from from Cardiff and I can tell you that is an amazing city. It has everything you would want in a city but at the same time it's not too overcrowded or crazy (like London). You'll have an awesome time if you come here

Hi everyone, my name is Steph and I’m an FY1 doctor. I’m planning to launch an online course about how to get into medical school for prospective students. I’ve got loads of ideas for content having been through the application process myself and also been a member of the interviewing panel at my medical school - but I wanted to get ideas from prospective students too. Please reply with ideas about what would be useful to you and/ or what you think would have been useful earlier in the application process? I’m planning on launching it for the current Year 12s in the early summer. All ideas welcome, and good luck in your applications and interviews

The Imperial interview was cutting it close to mocks but I didn't want it too far away because I don't want to lose the interview mode I'm in because of the other two

It was my first interview. I can say that I didnt expect it to be like that. I'm disapointed from my performance at 2 of the stations so I dont feel quite confident tbh..
