Honestly loving it so far, near the end now and can’t wait to start reading the return of the king, I still can’t believe how much imagination and attention to details some people can have ❤️

Thank you will check it out!

Hey that's a great point, I would say yes it would be better to argue this from the four pillars point of view. Just be wary of time, if you feel you can answer comprehensively then do all four :)

@@krishnagadhvi I would need to answer this question within 1-2 mins right? Because there would be follow up questions?

@@krishnagadhvi The MMI videos are great! Could you please so some more soon?

@@chickenwingslover9456 Heyy I would say aim to talk for 2-3 minutes but keep an eye on facial expressions, if you can sense they want to ask you a question pause to let them do so :)

Hi I would focus on the BMAT; www.admissionstesting.org/for-test-takers/bmat/ Also I would email the following to understand what the requirements are for students coming from India; medicine.ug.admissions@imperial.ac.uk Other than the above I think aim to get some work experience, prepare a personal statement reflecting on why you wish to study medicine and why Imperial in particular. Try your best in end of year exams. Keep an eye on The Student Room thread for Imperial Medical Admission for your year. Best of luck!

@@krishnagadhvi is giving bmat mandatory even after giving neet? btw thank you...yea i will email to the university!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

@@manjimaa.g_ Hi Miyo honestly im not sure, I do believe BMAT is mandatory for all medical applicants International included but please email to be sure. Do not listen to anyone on this guidance including me as I don't know for sure. Please only listen to Imperial themselves. No problem and best of luck!

Hi at the time of my application this seemed to be the case; if you are not sure its always worth looking at the entry requirements on the Imperial webpage or emailing the UG admissions team to clarify. But yes at the time I applied I don't think the combined score for BMAT was looked at beyond securing an interview.

Hey sure, regarding the personal statement my tips would be to firstly to read the following; www.imperial.ac.uk/study/ug/apply/selection/personal-statement/ Then I would start reflecting on my own experiences first and try to really think about why I want to study medicine. Think of it as a research phase. Answer questions such as why do I want to do this, what experiences do I have that have informed me, what extracurricular skills do I have that may be relevant to medicine etc. Next steps would be to do some research on NHS values and then to think about those values and to think about your experiences in the context of them. Finally, I would really drill down into any work experience I have and try to reflect on what I have learned. Then it's a case of writing your statement, ensuring its a reflection of you and your goals and then proof read and ask for a teacher to check over. An additional step could be to look at personal statements shared on The Student Room, never copy but it can give you an idea of what works and what doesn't :)hope it helps!

Thank you so much for watching :) Try your absolute best this year and everything will work out! I'm looking forward to seeing you at Imperial. Also feel free to comment and ask questions if at any point you have any questions - most of the stuff In the videos is my opinions but I'll ask some of my smart friends for their input too :) (no pressure but medicine is great and you'll love it :))

Whatever age you start is the age you start, it doesn't really matter. If you are going to university best of luck!

Hey, im not sure actually, ive met two or three people who are not 18/19. But because of covid this year we haven't met most of the people in our year; Ive only met probably 30-40 people out of 400 ish. Im 27 and another student is 26/27 I dont know if there are older students than us on the course this year. Hope this helps!

@@krishnagadhvi thanks. Wow 400 is a big number in the intake.

Thank you :) good luck with your application this year 👍

Hey :) thank you. And yep absolutely, my personal tutor has been great and for the most part lecturers have been useful. I'd say when we're on campus its a good opportunity to ask questions if you email after its 5050 if the lecturer will reply, but we do have forums where questions are answered, and tbh most of my questions I ask to my medic parents (y2s) and we have a big chat with lots of y1s so someone always replies. I'd say overall very well supported with the caveat that its on you to make the most of all the different help available. Our personal tutor is definitely very useful. Its nice to have someone to help you keep perspective and keep tabs on you throughout the year to just check things are going okay. hope this helps!

@@krishnagadhvi thank you so much for providing such an informative response! I’m happy you have such a helpful personal tutor! Have a lovely day :)

Ah thank you :) and awesome congratulations on your place! and dw you'll fit right in :)

@@krishnagadhvi thanks!

that came out longer than i expected lol but have any thoughts about blockchain technology in healthcare come to mind, some examples where it can be used are health records, supply chains & genomic market (safe and secure genomic data storing and sharing)

Great comment and not long at all, I think you’ve definitively given this more thought and to be honest I wasn’t aware that robotics already are being used in some surgeries. I think your point of looking at a patient holistically vs an injury or disease in isolation is a great point and a big plus for humans in medicine. Also yep maybe ai will see it’s biggest benefits where human error is high and rather than replace will complement the tools available to the doctor/physician to make more accurate diagnoses within short time frames. The deployment of robotics and ai and what forms that will take and how much of healthcare it will be involved in will be very interesting to see in the years to come.

Blockchain is super interesting, I was actually talking with one of my friends about this a week ago and we were talking about nfts etc. I don’t have enough understanding at all tbh to consider block chains implications for healthcare. My assumption and I’m probably wrong was that due to the public nature of the blockchains, health records wouldn’t be stored on there.

@@krishnagadhvi Yes very interesting, I can tell you're quite invested into the thought of all this. Yeah it will defiantly have great benefits, after all, its purpose would be to assist and autonomize work. Still has a long way to go in my opinion, not just the production and process but the implementation.

@@krishnagadhvi Ah yes NFTs, quite a lot of research will of course need to be done, however it depends on whether you are interested in purchasing or creating, with creating, in my opinion you would have to be someone well established from before, (doesn't necaserily mean that you need to be well established in the art industry), since it isn't so much the masterpiece or art itself that causes the high value but the story of the person and creation. Also, if you are purchasing, you would need to keep the same things in mind, the up and coming artists, rare collections, for example I'm sure you've read about beeples story by now, that's one of a kind and the CryptoPunks collection too. But NFTs are a whole other topic anyway aha, there are many different use cases for blockchain technology when it comes to healthcare, while I was researching a few months ago to my surprise there are some UK hospitals using blockchain technology for tracking vaccines and chemotherapy drugs to monitoring fridges storing COVID-19 vaccines(tracking temperature). Here is an article with a podcast about how blockchain technology can boost healthcare: forkast.news/how-hedera-hashgraph-could-improve-data-transparency-for-medicine/

Hey :) I'm a mature student so I hadn't really done much medicine related work experience prior to applying, I had however when I was 15 years old done a one week placement in the Cardio Thoracic Surgery Ward at St Bartholomew Hospital. Honestly, my advice would be to to follow your curiosity and apply for work experience in any sector of medicine that you would enjoy doing. I know everyone fusses about work experience but given the current climate, work experience is not likely to be a priority in your application. I can't really recommend how to get experience but try reaching out to your local GP practice, hospital and care home to see if there's anything you can help with. Don't do this as a checkbox exercise apply to places you'd really like to help in. Finally there is an NHS responders app although I'm not sure if you can take part as under 18. With volunteering its a similar thing, do things you enjoy and go with the flow don't worry too much about not having tons of experience. You can demonstrate your passion for medicine in other ways eg by reading about what the professions involves, books from nurses, watching programmes that explore new surgery techniques etc ..Umm that's all really. Hope this helps :) and best of luck with your application!

@@krishnagadhvi thank you so much 😊 it is very useful .

Wishing you the best! I really know the feeling when you're thinking about Uni and Imperial really is great, just work hard (not too hard) put your best foot forward and enjoy the journey and I'm sure you'll end up here in no time :) Good luck

Thank you :) Id be happy to do one but not sure I'd have much else extra to say. Are there any specific questions you have? would be happy to answer if that's the case.

@@krishnagadhvi maybe something like how to revise for the BMAT with a timeline, general tips for each section and you could explain your experience when taking the BMAT.

@@blackpinkinyourarea1839 Thanks, okay I'll get to work on a video to share some of my experience with the BMAT :) (thanks for mentioning what you might find helpful)

@@krishnagadhvi no worries :) looking forward to it!!

@@blackpinkinyourarea1839 Hey managed to get round and do the video. I hope you find it useful but as mentioned my BMAT wasn't to great but my key takeaways were to focus on strengths, keep grammar simple, answer the question for the essay, plan the essay and finally for sections 1 and 2 practice the past papers. If you're not sure about key concepts from GCSE I linked the course I used although if you are comfortable with all the sciences and maths save yourself the money and just do practice papers and you'll be fine :) - the video is uploaded but this comment is the gist of it really.

Hey thank you! Honestly I have no idea I tried to look briefly online but its confusing at best. Id recommend you email the admissions department. They may be slow to reply given the circumstances at the moment (futurestudents@ed.ac.uk).The other thing you could do is follow the a100 thread for Edinburgh on TSR; www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=6560642&page=50

@@krishnagadhvi Thank you very much future Dr Krish :) your information are so useful. Thanks

No problem :) I’m a home student.

omg thank you ha :) when I watch these myself tbh I immediately feel like deleting ha, but I'm glad you like them! (next video tomorrow is a long podcast with three medics from imperial Y2 they're in my medic family and they dish out lots of advice mostly helpful to current students but hopefully interesting to applicants too) + its a good video because its mostly them talking and not me :D

@@krishnagadhvi I’ve got an imperial med interview this month so I’ll make sure to tune in!

Hey, thank you :) I can't specify exactly how my MMI went (not sure I remember either) and whether there was role play. But I'd say in general if there is role play the interviewer is not trying to catch you out and usually will only interject occasionally and not make it too difficult for you. I would add that if the MMIs are online really think about time and consider going through each step quickly and being more concise than I was here.
