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.

The UCAS deadline for early entry is the 15th October: it has officially arrived. It can feel like a relief, as you no longer have to think about university research or personal statements. But it’s also stressful, as those things are no longer in your control, and it becomes a waiting game.

To help relieve some of your application anxieties, here are last-minute tips and things you need to check before your UCAS application is finally sent off.

For your personal statement

• Read it OUT LOUD to help you catch any awkward phrases and grammatical errors. Reading something with lots of grammar and spelling errors can be frustrating and off-putting, so double-check this!
• Make sure you fit the character limit, as UCAS limits you to 4,000 characters. If you are close to the limit, look for opportunities to combine sentences and remove filler words to save space. Focus on reflection over description, as reflection adds much more value
• Make sure it comes across as authentic and actually sounds like you. Don’t use fancy words just to come across as more sophisticated, because admissions tutors will catch you out during interviews

For UCAS

• Double-check that you and your teachers have added all your predicted grades, qualifications and references correctly. It is very easy to mistype grades, so go through your application again!
• Make sure you have entered the correct course details
• Complete the payment section; otherwise, your application will not be complete
• Check your contact details, as this is how universities and UCAS will contact you for information
• Don’t worry about your UCAT score, this is sent to universities around November time

For your universities

• Make sure your personal statement aligns with the universities you’re applying to. Don’t make the mistake of talking about something that the university you’re applying to doesn’t even offer
• Begin researching how your university will conduct interviews
• Don’t feel any pressure to put a 5th option. As you can only apply to 4 medical schools, you can apply for a different course, but make sure it is a course you would still be happy to study.

Finally, do not leave your application submission until the last second. A lot of students will be submitting their UCAS applications, so make sure to do it a little earlier, as it can take several minutes sometimes for confirmation. And good luck!

With your UCAS application being submitted, it’s now a waiting game. When will universities start calling you for interviews? How do you start your prep? Did you do enough to stand out in your personal statement?

The wait until you receive an interview invite can be filled with anxiety and doubt. I felt the same, as universities can sometimes take a while to respond. You might be feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to start with your interview prep. You might think you’ll start interview prep later or wait until you get an interview invite. But this could cost you your offer.

Until this Friday is also the last chance to get a place on the Ultimate Medicine Interview Course at a discounted price. And from this 100% of my students who took part in the course went on to achieve a medicine offer. As someone who achieved 4/4 offers, I teach you everything you need to know to secure your offers.

For many of you interview season has been a big concern. Therefore I'm running a free interview webinar to teach the exact framework I’ve been using for over 2 years. We’ll be going over the three steps to follow for interview success, a full list of the NHS hot topics to cover, how to organise your interview prep and more.

So put yourself ahead and sign up to the free webinar!
