Sharing the advice that got me an offer from Cambridge medicine

Today I cover questions about the medicine application process, specifically for Oxbridge, including how to stand out, what to put in your personal statement, the best supercurriculars and how to thoroughly prepare for anything at interview. I was a medicine applicant and received 3 offers to study medicine from Cambridge, St Andrews and Exeter following the UCAT, where I scored in the 93rd percentile, personal statement and interviews. So many wonderful people helped me get to where I am today so I'd like to repay the favour by helping you guys out too. I hope you learn something new from this video and I hope you enjoy! Do feel free to share this video with friends if you think it'll help them too. --- Links from the video: 📝 The google form: https://forms.gle/XaMv4RKz3w7D6z4Q7 Virtual wex: Springpod: https://www.springpod.com/virtual-wor...
