Yay early squad. You are such an inspiration 😊. Not getting into med school is not the end of the world. As a researcher you are in the process of creating information that physicians will read. So don't loose hope and keep trying.😊

Okay, just got around to finishing your video. My immediate take-away: For right now, and in the recent past, everything surrounding med school feels stressful to you. Point blank. From studying for the exam, to putting off the application, to applying to unis you think won't accept you or that you don't want to go to....all of it is STRESS. FOR NOW. Key words - for now. And for reasons you already know. Now, that said - your current job makes you smile when you talk about it, you're so happy to be back there, you love the commute, you love research, you're happy there, you're totally engaged in learning and working. Maybe, just maybe, FOR NOW, this is where your heart wants to be, and later, you can apply to med school again when you're in a much better headspace from which to do it. Try to embrace what IS and what currently makes you happy rather than all these expectations. There are no "should's here; this is your life, and you deserve to be happy, so embrace what is, and do all those things you've learned from next time around. Proud of you!

Hey Atousa, I really appreciate you making this video. I think, although you did get rejected this time, you making this video with the mistakes you made will not only help the viewers but also you. Hopefully, when you reapply you get in! I really respect you and the positive attitude you’ve displayed in this video and I hope that, if I do decide to apply to medicine, i have the same great mindset that you have, regardless of what happens. All the best!!

Hey Atousa - you can sit the GAMSAT in March and September 2018 for entry into med school in 2019 so essentially you get two shots within the same application cycle. The advantage of doing it in March is that you have your results in May so you know where you stand when you're applying, whereas in September you apply blind since you don't get your results until November which is after the UCAS deadline. Obviously that only leaves you with three months of prep though and it's an expensive exam. It requires a lot of focus and dedication which is hard to fit around a full time work schedule, but if you wanted to give it a shot at least the opportunity is there. Good luck! :)

This made me feel a lot better - what I did was not on your scale by any means though! I took biology, chemistry, physics and philosophy at AS level. I’ve always dreamed of doing biomedicine at uni and I was on track for AAAB. I did the same as you - worked too hard too early and ended up completely flunking my exams, getting CEUU respectively. Ive been out of sixth form for a year now but am looking to start an open uni course in Combined STEM with a focus on biomedicine. I hope all works out for you! ❤️

I know what you mean, but that is absolutely a success unto itself and it's only gotten you closer to where you want to be. okay....continuing to watch) ;)

I did the ukcat and completely failed despite practice and doing a course. I also did the gamsat thinking my nursing degree would help and guess what?! Nope. To be honest with the state of the nhs I’ve decided to not apply to medicine. Working with drs they all say that they wouldn’t apply if they were to be in my position

Why do you think you failed ? Just curious, did you not study the right stuff for GAMSAT? Did you go through A level Biology, Chemistry and Physics revision book? How did you prepare for GAMSAT? Because from what I know, that test involves more science-y questions. I know you commented a year ago but I hope you can respond back! Thank you.

Hi Atousa, thank you for your videos! I was wondering if you could possibly give me advice on my situation. I have applied purely for biomedical science and have already received offers. However medicine has always been the dream but from the start of college, I didn't think I was capable enough. But now, I am in my last year of college and I feel like I have grown as a person - this resulting in me realising I should've pursued medicine. So is it too late to take a gap year and then apply to medicine in October 2019? As I have just applied for biomed, I have not done the UKCAT nor have I had any work experience but if it's isn't too late, I am planning to sort this all out in the summer. Thank you again!

hi atousa! it is amazing to see your new video again. you mentioned at 9:11 that you applied late to medical school, but what is exact time do you mean by late? I applied biomedical sciences undergraduate program to KCL and UCL in Nov., and it seemed that both of them didn't required aptitude test.. I've already heard back from KCL but not yet from UCL, and I am worried..

Hey lovely, biomedical sciences is different to medicine, don't worry! They close much later than medicine (which is to become a doctor not a scientist) and they need tests, but biomedical sciences doesn't! :) You are very sweet though, thank you so much :)
