Tips & advice
Start your personal statement early
Most successful applicants start drafting in June or July, giving time for multiple rewrites before the October UCAS deadline.
Quality of reflection over quantity of experience
A thoughtful Kolb's reflection on two weeks of GP shadowing is more valuable than a list of activities with no insight.
UCAT: do timed practice from the start
The UCAT is primarily a test of speed under pressure. Always practise with the official time limits from your very first session.
Research each university thoroughly
Know the teaching style, clinical exposure timeline, and what makes each school distinctive. Use the extended notes in each university profile.
