Entering Med - A year 13's Journey

ooooo olympiad slayyyyyy

Havent been online properly in the past week finished my programme it was fun worked on making a public health campaign did one as a group on obesity and also listened to other projects being presented and got to speak to a 4th year medical student
In terms of revision from around Tuesday managed to do 1 hour a day not the best but something
need to use today to optimal revision for psychology test on psychodynamic or humanistic 16 marker exam + watch videos on how best to structure a 16 marker

Ooh that’s so cool what program did you do x

PROBABLY GONNA DO 1 POST A DAY I USE THIS A LOT HOPING TO BE ENCOURAGED TO REVISE

Year 12- HALF TERM 1 PROBABLY DAY 15 OF ACTUAL REVISION BUT DAY 0 FOR REVISION IN HOLDAYS

(unserious school 3 diff exam boards)
Subjects- AQA PSYCHOLOGY

I plan to go into... MEDICINE (such a big shock)

I have a bunch of WEX/ EXTRACURRICULARS
literally doing work experience rn and the first week back i have a placement in a hospital so missing a week of school gonna do catchup next week so im not behind (2 weeks of holiday)
Currently contemplating doing an EPQ - but its not going to be useful to my life so IDK (anyone know any positive that arent lower offer cause for medicine its literally one school)

my gcses were somewhat of a realisation call
not too bad but not amazing or that competitive for medicine

GRADES
2 LOW A*
2 A
5 HIGH B
1 LOW B/HIGH C
(found around 15 med schools 14 5 year courses and 1 6 year course aka foundation year so yay)
+ I am contextual (POSTCODE ONLY) (IK way too much about the application process)

Hi

A programme with southampton medical school

Oh that’s sick what’s it called if u don’t mind me asking or how did u find it bc I’m struggling to find stuff online to do . Thank you btw )

I would have to check but its closed now so i wouldnt look at that anyway a lot of programmes are actually closed now or some open at the beginning of January like sutton trust
I did research i looked on the websites for opportunities so that my gcses wouldnt affect my goals and i could have a competitive edge however if you go to a grammar school or private school it may be harder to find as opportunities are usually closed to those types of schools in terms of programmes however oxford uniq opened today so try that

UNIQ opens tomorrow I think also which ones did u apply for bc even in September I was struggling to find some

hey i went to a uniq summer school this july - deffo recommend applying !

I’m worried I won’t get in though I really hope I do. How was it

it was really really enjoyable - i did it for linguistics - check out the criteria here: Who goes on UNIQ? - UNIQ (ox.ac.uk)

oh wow. is that smth you want to do at uni

UNIQ opens tomorrow I think also which ones did u apply for bc even in September I was struggling to find some

Yeah I looked at quite a few and got rejected from like 3 Sutton trust also rejected me but I think going to a grammar school doesn’t help. Thanks though xx good luck with medicine
