Some ice-breaker questions:
1) What A-levels do you do?
2) What is your favourite subject?
3) Which unis/courses have you got your eye on?
4) What is your favourite TV show/film?
5) What kind of music do you like to listen to?
Wishing you all the best of luck with your studies, you've got this :biggrin:

Whoa!! I take biology (OCR A), chemistry (Edexcel) and French (AQA), but with the addition of geography (AQA)
I also applied to study medicine! (I currently have 3 interviews and 1 no reply and I’m nervous excited for my interviews)
Best of luck to you! 😀 I’m shocked to find another med applicant with bio/chem/french!
I know the French essay writing paper (paper 2? I think) clashes with Organic Chemistry (paper 2 chem) in the summer exam timetable so I’m going to be having fun being locked in a room on my own for a while on June 16th haha

OMGGGGG I'VE NEVER MET SOMEONE WHO DOES BIO, CHEM AND FRENCH AND IS APPLYING FOR MED.
How are you finding biology? I am loving it ESPECIALLY this year, the topics are soooo interesting. Do you have any favourite topics??
AGHHH ikr the exams clash😔. i have mocks in feb and i have a clash for chem and french as well then lol.
Also... for french what movie and book are you doing? I studied the movie last year and it was La Haine which was SOOOO good, like it was actually really interesting!!! and the book i am doing is Un Sac de Billes which I just started this year in school.

Hey there, I've taken maths chemistry, and business as my 3 a-levels. My favorite subjects are Mathematics and Geography.

At the end of year 13, I plan to get into the University of Kent ( looking at other unis as well) for accounting and finance( or business management/investment analysis) .

My favorite TV show is Match of the Day on BBC One and I'm a fan of listening to pop songs such as Coldplay pop music. 😀

I’ve really enjoyed photosynthesis and respiration- I love biology on a molecular and cellular level! What about you?
Oh nooo for me mocks work out because the exams are taken in our timetabling blocks, which is strange because the different biology and chemistry classes are taking the same exam on different days. I guess at this point if people cheat they’re only setting themselves up for failure?? 😭
I do La Haine and No et Moi!

What med schools have you applied to? I applied to Oxford, Cardiff, Exeter, and Southampton!!

I feel like photosynthesis and respiration were oddly similar 😭 like NAD and NADP
To me they’re like two sides of the same coin and I enjoyed both!! (Probably if I had to pick a favourite it would be photosynthesis)
I like the context and ideas to analyse in the film but in terms of actually watching the film itself, I find it a bit hard to watch because it feels like sometimes nothing is happening, and other times I want to yell at the Trio to not start shouting and fighting 😅 What about you?

Best of luck med school wise! I hope you get/ have received interviews at them all and that you get an offer!!
