My Medicine Journey as a stressed Yr 12

About Me!
I am a hopeful medic that has recently finished Yr 12 and am currently revising for my UCAT exam (:O) which is pretty stressful but hopefully it goes well.
I am looking into applying to Imperial (1st Choice), KCL, Bath (maybe Bristol) and Cambridge (might as well try).
I take Biology (OCR A), Chemistry (OCR A), Maths (Edexcel) and Spanish (AQA) for my A-levels and will hopefully be predicted A*A*AA* (in the same order as before).
I'm making this thread to share any study advice, notes, UCAT stuff and just generally as a update page :smile:

I am wondering how much research you have done, given that Bath do not offer a medicine course?
