Hi. I’m in year 12 looking to apply for med in October. I just finished the first draft of my personal statement but I can’t find your email on your channel. Could you send it through here so I can email you my personal statement? Much appreciated

I have to have my PS done by October. I have done significant academic research into stem cells and neurological disorders but I see that you have been more proactive, such as doing RNA sequence analysis yourself. I am actually writing a research project ATM. Do you have any advice for me? Anything actionable I can do in the next 30 days on the side that will be as influential to my application as that?

[@Guidenotguru]

Hey, thanks for commenting! What do you mean by "academic research"? The personal statement places more focus on critical reflection and thoughts than having a research project intrinsically. Would you be looking forward to a video where I share how you could incorporate research experience into the PS?

[@Guidenotguru]

I'll make a video with your example to help you out, don't worry : ) Subscribe though!

[@idkwhattokeepit7759]

@@Guidenotguruyes that’d be helpful. As for academic research, I meant I’ve written articles, a research paper, a meta analysis etc.

Does your personal statement have the top 3% score? How did you find out your PS score?

[@Guidenotguru]

Sorry if I made it unclear! I was admitted to UCL Medicine as an international student so the acceptance rate is roughly 3%.

Can you do a video on UCAT preparation?

[@Guidenotguru]

You are free to ask me any questions on UCAT! Due to time constraints, I won't be able to do one on UCAT. But stay tuned for videos on medicine interview!

@@Guidenotguru how to get better at abstract reasoning? I find it the hardest section and time is just so limited.

@@maggieisamix When I did it, I used the SCANS mnemonic and once AR started I just wrote down all the SCANS in details on my white board, and so I had sth to reference from.
