Thanx for your videos, it's given me a good insight into medicine, I'm 25 and I'm planning to apply for medicine this September.

[@SecondDegreeMedicine]

Hi Danielle, that's great! I've had such an amazing experience so far, both academically and socially, it has been better than I was ever anticipating. I've loved every minute and you will too. I hope I've got your excited! Good luck with your application and studies. Hollie

I would like more videos please, I'm currently an a level student, I've applied to do biomedical science and then hopefully go on to graduate entry medicine! Your videos are helpful! X

hi holly, my name is adam and i will be starting at queen mary med school this year i will be 28, i love your videos they have been a great help to me, you literally have been a source of inspiration at tymes, my question is relating age, how many students in your med class were around 30, age did not bother me before because i was focusing on gamsat and did not really think i was going to get in, but now that i have gotten in, i feel like i will be the only 28 year old among the 18 year olds, thanks, and btw why did you not apply for a bank loan for the 36 grand you needed for the 4 years, thanks, and i wish you lots of success

[@SecondDegreeMedicine]

Hi Adam, I am 26, there are 2 other 26/25 year olds in my year and the other 'older' students are around 21/22. There are more older students in the years above in their 30s and late 20s, it just depends on your year group. With regards to the £36K that I need for my degree. I cannot get a bank loan for that amount because I am not working in a full time job and therefore have no means to repay that kind of money off each month. Also as I said in my video, as I am studying medicine as a second degree, I am not entitled to a loan for tuition fees from Student Finance England. Surely it is the same for you as you are also doing medicine as a second degree and you are doing a 5 year course? Or are you an international student? Hollie

[@Tonay7]

are you studying at st georges?

[@SecondDegreeMedicine]

Hello, no I'm at Exeter on the 5 year course.
