Make sure you dedicate enough time and revision to prepare for your admissions test – these tests play a large role in whether you receive an interview or not.  Sites like TheMedicPortal and Medify have plenty of practice questions for you to work through.

Do not lie on your application – honesty is the best policy. Medical schools know when you are lying! Be truthful in your personal statement and during your interview. 

Seek help! Whether it is from your parents, older siblings, college/sixth form, online organisations or ALSA - we are here to help. Ask trusted individuals to proof-read your personal statement, and to help you with practising for interviews. Trusted feedback is crucial to developing and improving your application!

Try your best! With the infinite amount of information out there about applications, it can be hard to feel as if you have done/researched enough.  Don’t compare yourself to others and make yourself feel that you haven’t done enough. Instead, try and enjoy the process of applying to medicine. We wish you the best of luck and are ALWAYS here to support you with your application!
