I've only started tutoring too but I have almost nothing else to talk about so I think I will be putting it down

I think it's more about what you say about it? I'm not really sure on how to go about wording everything tbh

680avg B2 - you?
Hey guys! Ive applied to Keele ! my stats are as follows

- first class in biomed
- 680 av UKCAT
- shadowing in neonatology and trauma and ortho
- currently working as a Clinical trial assistant for a CRO
- teaching English as a summer job
- First aider for SJA for 3 years

I plan to talk about all of the above really! SJA is really my only caring experience except for a short-lived stint as an HCA! bit worried as they say they like long term care and SJA is lots of short contact with patients if that makes sense !

Where else are u guys applying? Ive applied Manchester, Sheffield and BSMS (dreaded BMAT in a few weeks)

Best of luck guys!

Ahh cool, thanks!
Does anyone have any websites/ files that can help/ give good points to fill out the R and R form?
Previous successful R and R forms would also be helpful (if that allowed?)
Hey everyone ^-^ Just received the R & R form today. My stats:

- 685 av UKCAT
-Maths, Chemistry and Biology A-levels and I did a Spanish AS as well
-I attend and volunteer at my local choir for the past two years
-I did maths tutoring for nine months with a year seven student

For the R and R form, is it just volunteering and work placements? There's a question that asks about any responsibility that I took on and I want to talk about being the head editor for our school newspaper. Is that okay? Or would it be better to stick to my volunteering responsibilities?

Thanks x.
Dreading this R&R form 😩

It's more important than your PS for securing an interview from the sounds of things. Eeeeeek.

Nightmare 😭 as if writing a personal statement isn’t stressful enough 😂
I’ve only done volunteering (with England netball) and a week work experience in a hospital and GP in the last 3 years so I’m stressing 😭

Tell me about it. Need a week off at least from the stresses of the PS.

Oh just a national sporting achievement. Nothing much then. lol you'll be fine.

I'm a pharmacist but can't just use only pharmacy examples, although I have a few. I've done a few things, national level sports, headed a few societies, some volunteering work, but I have the literacy skills of a child and can't make it sound fancy for ****.

Tbf the name makes it sound really jazzy, but it was more like England Netball backing me as a sports officer for our university netball ahah! I’m far from being at that netball level hahah

That’s loads of experience!! I’m sure you’ll be able to reflect on lots!
I have a theory that most university hate fancy forms etc, sometimes they just want the basics- what did you do, why did you do it, what did you learn. As long as you can do that then you should back yourself :smile: you don’t need to be fancy to show you’ll be a good doctor!
