“Applying for medicine can be intensely challenging. The process of preparing for aptitude tests, gaining all the relevant work experience, and then illustrating all your insight in 4000 characters or less, can feel like navigating a minefield!
While studying Biology, Chemistry, and Maths at A level (and an EPQ), I have been a part of The Aspiring Medics program, and have found it invaluable in allowing me to network with medical professionals and gain insight into the complex world of medicine, as well as veterinary science and dentistry.
This October, I am applying to be part of the 10% who are successful in their applications for medicine, and I know that the support I have had from the Aspiring Medics staff and associates over the last two years has improved my chances of gaining one of those coveted spots.”
