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.

This is why I've created this google form, which is completely anonymous. If there are any questions, content or products you want to see from me, you can let me know directly!

Following the success of the first UCAT Crash Course and increased demand a second date has been announced! This is your last chance to join as its running Saturday 8th August so sign before the deadline!

I’ve been asked by students to make more affordable UCAT Crash Courses, so I’ve worked really hard to design this! For £50 you get

• What the UCAT is and strategic information on sitting the exam
• The essential techniques for each of the subsections
• Debunking the biggest myths surrounding the UCAT and what you should be focusing on instead
• Free access to the UCAT Strategy Document I created as a top-decile scorer
• A 6 week and 8 week sample timetable so you know exactly how to approach UCAT revision
• Discussing the Medify vs Medentry debate
• List of accurate and reputable UCAT resources such as question banks, skills trainers and more
• Access to the recording and learning resources after the session

This is less than what most UCAT tutors would charge a 1 hour session for!

If you want a top-decile score but right now the UCAT feels impossible, is ruining your summer and has you confused then this course is for you.

Writing your medicine personal statement can feel insanely stressful. You have so many different things you want to mention, but there’s the character limit. You have so many ideas, but when you get to writing, nothing makes sense. If you feel like this, I completely understand. That was me, this time last year, too. So to help you out, I’m giving you a perfect structure when talking about your skills in your personal statement. This structure is one of many, yet it helped me to achieve 4/4 medicine offers, as it ties together key aspects that universities want to see in your medicine application. This structure forces you to reflect and helps you to create a good flow within your paragraphs.

1. Insight
   • Begin by talking about an impactful moment you saw or felt. This can include any form of insight, such as work experience, volunteering, a conference you attended or a book you read. Any form of insight that inspired you can be used here!
2. Reflect
   • What happened?
   • What did you learn?
   • What skills did you see and think were important?
   • How did this insight make you feel?
   • This step is one of the most important things to be doing in your medicine personal statement, as universities want to understand what you have learnt
3. Inspiration
   • From this insight or experience you had, how did you go and develop similar skills?
   • This is your opportunity to talk about what you have done to develop similar skills, and again reflect in detail
   • Talk about your growth, what you have learnt and how your skills have developed
4. Link
   • This step is not essential, but linking back to medicine at the end creates a nice end to each paragraph
   • At the end, mention how the skills you have learnt could help you in the future as a medical student or doctor
   • This section does not have to be long; even 1-2 sentences are enough

For anyone who had questions relating to technique for the UCAT exam in general or for specific subsections, I have several resources for you! First is my UCAT series on YouTube, which has videos for each subsection. Then is my social media pages on Tiktok and Instagram, which are dedicated for students applying to medicine. Check it out - @medwithloveleen

These are completely free resources to help you learn about the UCAT!

Another request I had was how to go about the UCAT week-by-week and what my schedule was. Therefore I have created a timetable guide to help you feel on track with the exam. This is exactly what I wish I had so my revision felt less stressful.

UCAT Timetables

And a final request I had was regarding clearing and alternative routes into medicine. Next week’s newsletter edition will have an entire section dedicated to this and keep an eye out on my socials for videos on this!

Hope this helps and as always don’t forget to put in any questions or requests via the form above!
