what epq are you doing

I decided not to do an epq on terms of I already meet some med schools criteria for contextualized offers only 2 med schools actually take it properly into account for lower offers
I can do academic Essays which are assessed out of school and use those as examples instead for schools which like those E.g UCl or imperial

Hey! I'm in year 9 and already thinking about what I wanna do when I grow up. I've already picked my GCSEs and started some courses. I really wanna be a GP or Paediatrician in the future!

Hi,

Actually I did quite a decent amount Now to be completely honest unless you are 16 in person is super unlikely so what i did was some online work experience like medic mentor however apply for summer schools only a few are open for yr 11 but they are pretty decent i did an online summer school with Plymouth for dentistry (have to meet some eligibility criteria) for 3 day and KCL also offers a lecture program and Newcastle has a mini medical school they usually open later in the year but if you look out for them they are good

Heres a guide feel free to ask me any questions about the application process ik a decent amount:
ALL THE PROGRAMMES I MENTIONED ARE ONLINE BTW - look for in person in yr 12
Mini medical school | Faculty of Medical Sciences | Newcastle University (ncl.ac.uk )- newcastle
Work experience | Medical Schools Council (medschools.ac.uk ) - plymouth
Online Medicine and Dentistry Lecture Series - King's College London (kcl.ac.uk )-KCL

Thank you so much! I am definitely going to have a look at all the links!
