Hi, I’m Sam and I am currently a first year medical student at Anglia Ruskin. I sat the UCAT in 2021 and achieved 2720 with B1 in the SJT. On UCAS I received 4 interviews at: ARU, KMMS, Birmingham and Plymouth, I received offers for the first 3. Applying for medicine is very difficult, I would say that getting into medical school is the hardest part of medical school!

The MMIs can be very stressful, especially if you’ve never done anything quite like it before; I found myself in that situation of having interviews and having no idea how they even worked, let alone how to ace them! However I was ultimately able to obtain 3 offers out of 4 applications and a wealth of knowledge about medical interviews and applications that I want to be able to pass on to younger cohorts to enable them to get into medical school and ultimately their dream job. Furthermore, when I was in college and sat my A-levels I found the change from GCSE to A-level to be particularly challenging, and had to adapt to new ways of learning in order to achieve high grades. This takes time and was quite stressful, I want to help those who find themselves struggling at A level or GCSE to help boost them up to ensure they can get to wherever they dream to be.
