Saad

Hi there!

I’m Saad, a graduate medical student at St George’s University, currently in my fourth year (the university technically counts it as 4/5, since my graduate entry combined the first two years into one). I originally studied Accounting and Finance, so I know first-hand how challenging it can feel to leap into medicine from a completely different background.

At one point, I didn’t think it would even be possible, but with years of persistence, hard work, and determination, I was able to achieve my dream. Now, I want to help others who are aiming for the same goal, no matter their academic background. If you have the passion and drive for medicine, I believe it is possible and I want to help you get there.

I can provide guidance with the entire medical school application process, from writing a strong personal statement, to preparing for entry exams such as the UCAT and GAMSAT (both of which I sat myself), and finally interview preparation. Having been through it all, I know how overwhelming the process can feel, but with the right approach and support it becomes much more manageable.
Writing has always been a strong suit of mine, and it played a big part in my own success. I scored highly in the GAMSAT writing section, which I know many applicants struggle with, and I’d be keen to share the techniques and strategies that worked for me.

Alongside medicine, my accounting degree gave me a strong foundation in mathematics, a subject I’ve always enjoyed and have experience teaching in the past. I’ve also had a long-standing interest in psychology and religious studies, both of which I’d be confident teaching as well as the sciences.
