i wanna start by saying you are soo useful, i'm aspiring to become a doctor just like you but was very weary about literally everything.i mean honestly every you research people always say don't study medicine and it rly PUT ME DOWN soo i wanna say that ur very realistic and that i'm glad you popped up on my recommended. I wanted to ask if you went to uni straight from sixth form or you took a gap year? and regarding your work experience was it hard to find them and what techniques did you use to help you get them? Thank You and keep up the content xx
Xx Jasmine Xx you are the sweetest, your comment really made my day! I went to university straight from sixth from, and I got the majority of my work experience through my school - by talking to the careers advisor and also researching local volunteering opportunities via school or using google. good luck with everything, if you’re passionate and committed then you’re already half way to becoming a doctor! ❤️🦋
I’m starting at the University of Nottingham in September (hopefully) as a medical student and your videos are making me feel so much calmer and excited about going! X💗
I really just watched this whole thing despite doing an English degree , ALSO LOVE your PHONE CASE! And you look amazing here as always and love the necklaces 💗💗
Yasmin Faris of course it’s difficult - but you learn to adapt your life around it, and the most difficult thing is to achieve a BALANCE (which is possible!). and yes I do have plenty of time for a social life, and i have plenty of time to go out with my friends on the weekend, see them in the evenings after I’ve finished my work, but also to do work related activities with them such as going to the library (or gym!) ❤️
Can't thank you enough for uploading this video, I'm currently trying to decide on what unis I want to apply to in October and i'm soooo stuck as to what to put as my 4th option. I'm from Northern Ireland and I can't get into queens Belfast so it's super scary for me especially when I can't even get to open days or anything because of Rona. So far I've decided I want to apply to Glasgow, Leicester and Newcastle but I haven't the best GCSEs so hoping I get a decent UCAT ://
Hey Ellen! Picking medical schools can be tricky, it certainly was for me! I used this medic portal website to help, it allows you to compare medical schools based on entry requirements: www.themedicportal.com/application-guide/choosing-a-medical-school/comparisontool/ I’d also suggest looking at online medical school prospectuses/ TH-cam videos made by current students to get a little bit more of an insight about the medical schools! Hope this helps! Stay tuned as I’ll be posting more videos on each stage of the medical school application! 💜
Hi, loved your video it was really useful! I just wanted to ask which tutoring platform you used in sixth form and how you got started? thank you so much x
Lara Arif woo! I feel like we’re a tiny subset of people who don’t really fit in when it comes to the snooty private school stereotype! im so glad it was! 💜
Sophie Leach hi Sophie, obviously this changes from person to person (depending how long it takes you to get through the content each week), whether you want to get involved in sports, or how much you will socialise with friends. I’d suggest if you are going to have a part-time job that it is quite flexible, such as doing deliveries (via deliveroo), tutoring or something based online. This is because the workload can change drastically from week to week and it may be difficult to get out of doing shifts etc if you have more strict working hours. I think it’s better to not get a part-time job during term time to be able to focus on studies and to leave enough time to yourself to rest and have fun (so you’re less likely to burn out!) ❤️
If you don’t mind answering, did you stay at Raleigh park or broadgate? I’m trying to decide which accommodation to apply for to study medicine at Nottingham in September! Xx
Ríoghnach Barlow hi ríoghnach! I stayed at Raleigh park. I liked that it is set up as flats (so you have a shared kitchen/living room etc with your flatmates), and it’s also close to a supermarket and gym. However, it’s quite separated from the main campus so you don’t get the same campus feel to it. Hope this helps! Good luck with everything :)
hi! i’ve heard that you shouldn’t bring a car to uni but people are saying it can be really useful for courses like medicine because of all of the travelling to placements do you think it’s a good idea? (especially for nottingham) thank you :)
for medicine in y1-y3 you won’t be more than a half an hour walk from the medical school so I wouldn’t worry :) but I’m sure it makes life a bit easier if you have one!
Fab video, very helpful for me as I'm doing the Notts degree next year. Stuck in my house due to the virus, so I can't go out and have the fun with people before med!
Lara Connor Congratulations! Honestly try not to let this self-isolation get you down, try learning any new skills you‘ve been wanting to try (whether it’s an instrument, practicing driving theory, working out or becoming more flexible, reading books, art). Also, I promise you the lockdown won’t last forever and I am sure we’ll be able to do lots of fun things this summer! (My birthday is in June so I am relying on the fact we’ll be let out by then haha) 💜
Hi, your videos have been really helpful in getting a good insight into what medicine at UoN is like, as I'm thinking of applying there this year. If you don't mind me asking, what UCAT score did you get? Thanks so much and hope to see more videos soon!
@@AymaraAnahi if I got a high UCAT score but average gcses (1 A**, 2 A*, 3 A, 3 Bs) do you think that’s ok for notts or do they focus on gcse scores a lot😭
Hi! I'm an Indian currently doing my A-levels (CAIE) and will be applying to medical schools in the UK next year. I'm having a hard time finding work to do. It's very rare to find clinical related work for high school students here. Will it be a big issue when I apply? Thank you for your videos. They are extremely helpful.
Aleena Vinu Hi Aleena, do not worry too much specifically about getting work experience in a clinical setting, as it is very hard to do unless you have specific connections. I’d say perhaps ask your school for contacts to any doctors, or try to look up any programmes targeted at students in hospitals etc. If this doesn’t work out, any voluntary experience in a caring environment is extremely useful, such as a care home or a school. That is the priority - not so much clinical experience.
Hi, I love your videos, they are really informative and useful, they really give a great perspective of Nottingham Uni, which I now love the look of 😂. I was just wondering how you got to see lectures given by doctors? Was this whilst you were still in college? I'm trying to find different ways of getting at least some experience. Thank you P.S I know this was posted a while ago, sorry, but I've only just discovered your channel recently

Completely agree with the “don’t do anything over summer” point, I say this to everyone!!

I like how you said if you weren’t a doctor you’d be a chemistry teacher. Miss Huang’s influence.
Julia Duffy exactly
Please do you find medicine hard?
And do you have more social life?

Great video and keep up the great work
What accommodation is good for Nottingham med?
Great Video, really informative! What area of medicine are you planning to go into after medical school? ❤❤❤
Maia Coombe thank you Maia! I am currently looking to go into psychiatry, or anaesthesiology :)
I also went to private school on a bursary ah also this video was super helpful! x
Lara Arif woo! I feel like we’re a tiny subset of people who don’t really fit in when it comes to the snooty private school stereotype! im so glad it was! 💜
Loved this video! What is the difference between the Lincoln and Derby route at notts?
thank you! i really couldn’t say as I do the Nottingham pathway, perhaps you could check the University of Nottingham website :)
Thanks, this was so useful! Do you have time for a part-time job in medical school? x

I have a question when you are in medical school do you do some side hustles or you just read the whole semester
it depends, some people do some don’t! it is achievable :))
Bruv ngl you’re killing it w the vids, let’s collab when this is all over x
oh my gosh for sure! thanks babe u too congrats on so many subscribers !!

Do you think five 8s two 7s, one 6 and one 5 are good enough to apply to med school?
hi, your GCSEs won’t be the reason necessarily you don’t/do get into medical school. it really is about your application as a whole!
Notification on squad
Julia Duffy u mean “COOL AYMARASTAN squad”...right?
Aymara Anahi yes and also I’m legally changing my name to cool aymarastan
