Thank you ever so much for this video. I have been looking for something like that for quite a while now and this is really spot on. I am seriously considering now applying to Peterhouse for medicine. Thank you for your efforts to reach out. I really enjoyed it!

It just u have to learn how to use how do u understand things, u can understand biology like scientists and u can discover sth new in that field, it just that u have to understand your way of learning things, understand the basics and read, search more, wishes u luck ❤😊

[@hmsdefender408]

This is totally different from the rest of the UK medical interviews and the Ivies medical school MD admission interviews. I guess probably it is because Cambridge wants not just medical professionals, but professional medical scientists. While the other medical schools including the top North American ones treat themselves as professional schools.

[@deeremeyer1749]

When you're being "tested" and are failing to "do well" there is no "learning experience" to it besides you're unprepared and ignorant and if you didn't know that "going in", you probably have a "learning disability" and have had for life. "Studying" and "learning" are not things you should still be doing right before "test-taking". If you are, you're in the wrong "field" and have no real interest in it or you'd automatically learn and wouldn't need to "study". Rote memorization is not "learning", data and information are not "knowledge" and interviews are not "tests" you can "study" for.

[@ak_sl1784]

Is it common for colleges to ask questions based on case studies given 30 minutes prior to the interview, or is this a niche for Peterhouse? From my understanding, i thought that you wouldn't receive any case studies, but you would instead be asked questions in the form of a discussion/supervision upon entering the room.

[@doc_Q_]

AK_ SL There is variation between colleges, this is what Peterhouse does. You’ll have to look at the different websites for more information and other colleges may also have videos of what they do. Good Luck!

what happens if one of jacks brother parents has cystic fibrosis and the other is a carrier?

[@user-gu1is3jx3w]

AGE and PA MEDICINE: Really enjoying your docs. Do you think AGE would hold me back applying to be a PA? I agonise about this all the time. All I've ever wanted to be is a doctor but it has never been an option due to life. (things have changed RE opportunity, supporting family, student loans, etc). I'm 50 and work making science documentaries but I have a Biological Sciences Degree from Oxford, and a PhD in Human Evolution from from Cambridge. I made extra money as a phlebotomist at University, am a trained and experienced as a FREC5 medic and a practising CFR so have got my hands on plenty of patients. But I'm 50! Even though I still have over 20 years working ahead of me, I think the PA course was designed just for me and I'd love it. But is there any point chucking in my career to do something I would love for the sake of vocation and a lifelong dream at this point. Am I being naive and unrealistic. Give it to me real please.

[@doc_Q_]

Hey, thanks for reaching out. Honestly, I don’t think it should hold you back, I have a peer going through GP training with me who is the same age as you. The only way to know is to apply. Wishing you the best!

[@ZyNeEnZyNe]

how did it go?

[@therealvlad505]

[@darrennkamga5148]

How is it a 1 in 4 chance, I’m confused?

[@beckydoesbeauty06]

If both parents are heterozygous (carriers) of the CF gene (so they themselves both have genotype Cc), their child could have CC, Cc, cC or cc. They would only have cystic fibrosis if they were cc, and therefore there is a 1/4 chance of their child having cystic fibrosis IF both parents are carriers.

[@NB7281]

I’m confused by the case, we know the brother doesn’t have CF but his brother does so he is either a carrier Cc or has CC. So there’s a 1/3 chance of him passing on the recessive c. His partner has a 1/25 chance of being a carrier. So that would be 1/3 x 1/25 x1/4. Why is it 2/3 x1/25 x 1/4?

[@hannahlucxk750]

Because the brother could be Cc, cC or CC. The first two variants include the recessive allele so that makes 2/3. I think this is right but I'm not a medicine applicant so sorry if not but hope it helps!

[@mhaleem31]

Then where did the 1/4 come from

Why do universities there make it so difficult to just study? I don't know, but they act as if only the "candidates" need them and they are high up there, they make something that is necessary very difficult, all people should have access to education, It shouldn't be so hard to be educated. Here in Brazil is a lot easier compared to the UK.

[@therealvlad505]

Because they get a lot of applications but only have limited amount of spaces. So they need a way to determine who to actually allow into the university to study

[@raffitorres1714]

On top of what vlad said, you don’t want incompetent doctors, do you? The reason it’s hard is that it ensures competent people become doctors.

[@pigeonlove]

The universities are ranked. If you want an easy access (some don't even interview) you choose a lower ranked university. If you think you are better than those that think life is so easy they should just be able to sail through doing nothing more than necessary, then you apply to the Russell group. I don't believe universities in Brazil rank particularly high globally in many subjects? Could be wrong.
