i think the teaching is bad but it's a better university that kings, especially given the cost of living in london
They're great Ooh those options look good! Yeah I'd definitely say get a good look at the unis and see what they say about their course in particular. I've yet to visit some unis for open days but medicine at Birmingham, Cardiff, UEA and Newcastle all look great aha. It's a shame the open days are so far away lmao

Hi guys, AlwaysBroke here, been lurking round for a while now.
Without further ado I chose:
-Biology
-Chemistry
-Psychology
My predicted exams start this May (I'll be fasting too ahah!)
The course I would like to get into is Dentistry preferably at Manchester, but hey, i'll take anywhere, even all the way down in Plymouth!
Since this is a stress thread I just want to share my experience. The holidays just started but I ave always felt that i'm not responsible enough to be a GDP as this comes with managerial aspects and i guess i'm quite unconfident at giving people sh*t and I'm not sure if I can hold the responsibility. I have been dying with this stress about my future career path as honestly, although i'm 17 I still feel like i'm in year 10, I don't think I have matured at all really and I just feel like this year I have been pushed into growing up and forcing myself to take a course.
I'm really considered on taking a gap year literally, just to allow myself time to think and stuff. Honestly I wouldn't say all this is due to a lack of confidence; I went to a medical/dental conference, undertook MMI's with random kids listening in and I got pretty decent feedback. It's just i'm not sure I will be able to handle the stress of the course and the job and all the stuff coming up, like PS, Predicted grades, Volunteering and Work experience, UCAT/BMAT, MMI's than 5 long years of a course that is apparently harder than or equal to A-levels.....stress is killing meeeeee omdz writing this out actually killed me on the inside.
TL;DR - bio chem psychology, wants to do dentistry but too pus**, might take gap year re-apply and if I don't get it hit up pharmacy instead

I was considering a gap year but then i realised how boring it would be a whole year by myself even though i would fill it with work experinece and other things i came to the conclusion its not for me.On your topic of feeling your not confident enough i can relate recently ive been on a journey to better myself and to grow as a person and it has helped and i have become more confident and content with myself.Maybe try to push yourself to make convo with a stranger or something or to take up a role in your sixth form or even join a volenteering group doing stuff like this now will help you grow. And also if u fel your not sure about if u really want to do medicine take some time to sit down n make a plan or a list of why u want to do medicine and why you feeling held back from it and also try this website its called unifrog its basically a website that i use at my sixthform n it helps you to look at different career options.
