In this interview, I talk to Anton, a 6th year medical student at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. Anton got 4 rejections the first time he applied, but he tactically worked on his application and got an offer from Cambridge University after taking a gap year. In this video, Anton addresses a load of questions that you’ll hopefully find helpful if you’re reapplying to medicine.
