Hello Lulu, I was wondering what unis you applied to with your Band 3 in UCAT as I also got a Band 3 and a score of 2380 which isn't great.

[@luluhalim]

Heya for me I excluded unis that mentioned anything about band 3 being rejected etc., most unis only rejected band 4 so that should be fine. I applied to Barts, Southampton, Bristol and Newcastle and went with barts. In terms of your score, perhaps look into unis that have a low entry requirement for the UCAT or maybe think about investing into the bmat and doing it instead.

[@elizabethtetteh2434]

@@luluhalim Thanks so much for your insight. I will totally focus on the BMAT.

How did you deal with the interest in student loan if you took one out, I’m also a Muslim looking to study medicine but am worried?

[@luluhalim]

Heya sorry for the late reply! I’d recommend you do research on this in terms of the situation of the UK as I’m not knowledgeable enough to answer :)

[@hafsah6133]

Hello - as a first year medical student how did you make notes ? Im starting this year and really need some help? should i do them on notability and import them into notion ? please help super confused

[@luluhalim]

Hello, I took my notes mainly on notion directly for the start of the year and then I would import to anki, but then 1/3 of the way in I started just using anki straight away and making flashcards during the lectures. For goodnotes, I only used it while I was going through my anki for e.g., if I felt like I needed to write a short summary of something or if I kept forgetting it then I just write it in goodnotes so it wasn’t my main note source tbh

[@sue9302]

@@luluhalim thank you so much ! im starting at kcl soon - did you take notes from your lectures or are there any other resources that are good to use for 1st years? i've heard of a few like lecturio and passmed etc - what do you think is best ? And also did you make the flashcards from your lectures slides from uni too? thank you sm x

[@luluhalim]

@@sue9302 aa congratulations!! I mainly made the flashcards only from my lecture slides / anatomy practicals etc., so basically from the resources the uni gave. However closer to exam time I started using question banks like passmed and quesmed etc. ps. I did watch quite a few youtube videos as well to explain certain topics so sometimes i would make anki on those
