Sorry if I'm late but there's a Bristol summer school (if you fall under certain criteria) which would give you a guaranteed interview.

You can also check out in2medschool which offers free mentoring.

Hope that helps.

I would also look at the websites of the med schools in your area. They may have more local schemes.

The sutton Trust might be worth looking at.

If you meet the criteria there is a Southampton Easter virtual experience course. Limited number and quite competitive. Closes on 4th March.
