If you're new here, I'm Loveleen a King's College London medic. As someone who had no doctors in the family I understand the struggles of navigating the medicine application process. I'm here to help you along the way so you can achieve your dream of studying medicine! I also love helping out aspiring medics, by sharing the hidden getting into medicine curriculum as someone who received 4/4 post-interview offers.

My aim is to create a community of supporting aspiring medics and making the medicine application process feel as accessible as possible. Therefore I always encourage discussion within the community. I love hearing from you and what your concerns are.

Your UCAT plays a massive role in your medicine application. And the biggest fear I had when applying was that my UCAT score wasn’t enough and that only top-decile scorers would get into medical school. But this is completely wrong. Your UCAT score is important, but it is not the only thing that universities consider.

This is where the idea of strategic application comes in. Different universities place a different emphasis on the UCAT.

To help you, I’ve created a general guide of some low, mid and high UCAT universities. This guide I have created is based on UCAT thresholds from last year. So no matter what your score is, your dream of getting into medical school can become a reality!

However, it is important to remember that this is a general guide. The change in the UCAT, specifically the removal of abstract reasoning, can impact UCAT thresholds. Additionally, the change of the personal statement structure could make universities change the emphasis placed on it. It is essential to look at your academic, extracurricular and widening participation profile holistically and research in detail tailored to your personal profile.

High UCAT Universities

• King’s College London
• Imperial College London
• University of Bristol
• UCL
• University of Edinburgh
• University of Oxford
• University of Cambridge
• University of Manchester
• University of Newcastle
• University of Birmingham

Mid UCAT Universities

• University of Sheffield
• University of East Anglia
• University of Leicester
• University of Liverpool
• University of Southampton
• Edge Hill University

Low UCAT Universities

• Keele University
• University of Plymouth
• University of Sunderland
• Aston University
• Bangor Medical School
• Queen’s Belfast

Get Ahead With Your Academics

Let’s be honest. Applying to medicine is a lot. Between UCAT prep, drafting (and redrafting) your personal statement, arranging work experience, keeping up with extracurriculars, and then interview prep on top of it all, something has to give. Usually, it’s your A-levels that end up squeezed in around everything else, which is exactly the one thing admissions teams won’t let slide.

I know this because I was exactly where you are. Last year I sat all 4 of my medical school interviews within 10 days, straight after two weeks of mocks. So I get how hard it is to keep your grades where they need to be when everything else is competing for your time.

That’s where I can help. I offer A-level Biology and Chemistry tutoring (OCR and AQA) in small groups of 2-3 people, so sessions stay interactive and focused rather than just talking at you. It’s £25 an hour, and I’ve been tutoring for coming up to 3 years now, helping students consistently hit their target grades.

If you want one less thing to worry about while you focus on the rest of your application, email me at loveleenj241@gmail.com and let’s get started.

A big request I got from many student this week was regarding resources to help with interview preparation. For the last few weeks, I have working behind the scenes to develop the top interview resources.

The first resources is my FREE interview webinar where I will teach you how to revise for interviews. Sign up to one of the available dates using the link below!

The second resource is 'The Ultimate Medicine Interview Document' which has all of the content you need to learn for your medicine interviews.

And finally the most powerful resource I have created is 'The Ultimate Medicine Interview Course'. 100% of my students who took part in this course converted their interview invites into medicine offers.

And as you have been super on it and requested interview resources already, I have included an early bird discount for those of you join before October 15th!

I'm Loveleen, a medical student at King's College London and I remember being an applying student feeling confused by the entire process. I had no doctors in the family, yet went on to achieve a top decile UCAT score and 4/4 medicine offers. I'm passionate about helping other aspiring medics, so I work really hard to create the resources I wish I had in your situation.

Check out my website for my UCAT Crash Course and my Ultimate Medicine Interview Course, where 100% of my students who reached interview stage secured at least one medical school offer. Secure your spot to achieve your dream of getting into medicine!

And as a tutor for nearly 3 years, I help students in GCSE and A-level biology and chemistry, to secure their dream grade! As someone who got A*A*A I teach you all the content and exact revision methods to make studying feel easier, especially if your managing multiple aspects like interviews, UCAS applications and interests. Email me to book a place as there are limited slots.
