I provide a range of services to aid in your medical school application including interview coaching, realistic mock interviews, UCAT tutoring and help with personal statements.
I have extensive knowledge and experience perfecting medical school applications as I have been through the process myself, receiving offers from several universities including Bart’s, Glasgow and King’s College London.
UCAT
The UCAT is the first step in your medicine application process, and perhaps the most important one. Achieving highly in the UCAT will heavily influence which universities invite you to interview. Knowing the most efficient techniques to approach each subtest with is essential in maximising your score. I help with these, giving my top tips for preparation and exam day, and going through the different types of questions within each subtest.
The UCAT is a multiple choice test comprised of 5 sections; verbal reasoning, decision-making, quantitative reasoning, abstract reasoning and the situational judgement test (SJT). Apart from the SJT, each of these sections is scored out of 900. The SJT is scored using bands 1-4; band 1 being the highest band one can achieve. You can find out more about the UCAT here.
Picking universities
Once you have completed the UCAT, it’s now time to pick the universities you want to apply to. Due to the competitive nature of the medicine application process, picking a university must be done strategically in order to maximise your chance of being offered an interview. Your academic grades, personal preferences and UCAT score should all be considered when making choices. As I have been through the application process myself, I have learnt from the mistakes my peers have made in this stage. I can use this experience to help you choose which universities to apply to.
Interviews
This is the final step in your application, but perhaps the most nerve wracking. There are 3 types of interviews different medical schools use; MMI (multiple mini interviews), panel and traditional. Each interview looks at your different skills and character traits. Practice is key at this step. I found that mock interviews really helped me as they mimicked the environment and feelings one would experience at the real deal. I offer interview practice and advice and mock interviews to simulate the actual interview, with feedback at the end.
