Hi,
I'm a year 12 aspiring medical student but I haven't undergone any work experience/volunteering/shadowing and since ucas application will be due in a few months I'm really stressing. I cant find any places for placements etc. since the nearby hospital/clinics in Berkshire have given placements already. I'm scared I'm applying too late and have emailed but didnt get responses. What should I do? I want to get into a Russel group uni for medicine. Does anyone know anyone I could email or clinic/hospitalsthat could be willing to take me?I live in Berkshire.
Also, is volunterring as important as shadoing/ work experience on uni applications or not? What should I do to make my personal statement and application stand out as an aspiring medic? What's the difference between work experience and the rest?
Thank you
