Should I change the name of this GYG to Chronicles of a Sleep Deprived Year 13 Student? Cause that's how life is feeling right now
Still in the mundane process of UCAT prep which will be over soon at least. I've made a rough first draft of my PS but I'm planning to work on it a lot after my test.

Both of those are artists I listen to but songs I do not know - I shall feedback on them haha.

Yeah be prepared when you start y13 it's a lot all at once (like I've had like 5 days in school why am I already on the verge of a breakdown), but I have a free Friday so I'm sleeping haha

My favourite song is probably Kangaroo by Remi Wolf atm
But with your personal statement, don't worry too much about it! But I will say one thing they do like is engaging with the subject alongside bigging yourself up
Good luck with all your ucat prep!

Thank you! Honestly I think I've got too much to put in my PS so I'll have to cut a lot ☹️
Just listened to the song, not my usual taste but idk it's giving me Toyah vibes? Also feels like it could be in a movie montage of like friends hanging out haha

I'm having the opposite problem ngl, I'm struggling to find things to talk about but I just need to remind myself that
Law is hard to talk about!
But have you any particular topics you'd like to mention?

Yeah law is a tricky one. As in school topics or general? As I've got some general ones like research I've done into diseases etc.

In general!
Yeah no for law I'm going to talk more generally about well
The NHS
but research into diseases is a great place to start

Sorry haha life has been hectic, forgot to update!

Had my UCAT last week which went very well so happy about that, but school has just been quite tiring and hectic if I'm honest. Also on the day of the UCAT they set two tests for next week which I didn't know about until someone told me today ☹️

How's y12?

Honestly I don't even know haha. Definitely Cambridge for my top choice. I was initially thinking QUB or Edinburgh but I don't know if I want to travel that far. I'm more set on the ones I don't want to go to (like London unis mainly). How about you?

You should defo apply to Cambridge!! Not sure- I was considering Oxford but wondering if my 3030 B2 won't be good enough (might mark me down on B2 and other applicants getting very high UCAT score?) although I did get all A*s at GCSE. What are your thoughts on Cardiff? Maybe Bristol but I haven't been to see it yet!

I think I saw somewhere that Oxbridge don't care about SJT (best to check with someone more qualified than me lol) so I don't think the B2 would disadvantage you. Also spoke to admissions at Jesus a while back and they said they rank for interview for UCAT and GCSEs, in which you are in the top deciles for both. The preliminary UCAT results came out today and I think 9th decile is about 2980 atm, probably will go down, but that means your score is top 10% and honestly I'd be surprised if they were more selective than that.

Idk about Cardiff, I don't think so cause I kind of want to get out of Wales but I know it's a safer option for Welsh applicants so maybe I should put it as fourth? Bristol looks really good but I don't think it's my type of city
