    ngl I was pretty confident in my personal statement, but the amount of detail you have in yours means I have to go back to the drawing board. Nimechoka 😭😭😭

      No, but I’m confused at how similar structure is in the sense we both talk about hoe growing up in kenya contributed to our inspiration for medicine but also how we aim to help people in Kenya afterwards🤯🤯

      Usichoke! You can do it :) (sorry my Swahili spelling is horrible). That's crazy! Great to see a fellow Kenyan wanting to get into medicine

    Hi, i was literally mind blown when icame to know that u are partly from east Africa kenya. And am in uganda. Atlest we have a representative from this side.hamazzing and satisfying.
    I did my alevels last year and i almost failed. I went back used my olevel results which were very Good. But the last few weeks have been so so hectic looking for a vacancy at a certificate level in comprehensive nursing. Luckily i have found one.but i would in the future want to upgrade to medicine. So my question does med schools only consider alevels or step by step upgrade from any medical field... Good evening. Sending alot of love from east Africa uganda

    Hi! I want to apply to kings for dentistry, I heard that the majority of the PS needs to be made up of academics. I have a lot to talk about experiencewise, such as what I've learnt from work, volunteering and sports/hobbies which takes up more than my 'academics' side. Is this a problem? Should I try to find more to talk about academically? Thanks!

  • @Flowerr.452

    This helped me a lot, I'm just worried because I only have online experience cause of quarantine. Can I talk about the work experience that I did in high school, it was in a restaurant though.

    Hi, your videos are so amazing and informative. i've just finished my 1st year in college and I'm currently doing my personal statement for Biomedical Sciences as i feel Medicine after A-levels wouldn't be the right choice for me- could you do a video on your biomedical degree, your personal statement for BMS , how you enjoyed this degree, any advice and how long is your medicine degree at Kings college/how long till you graduate and what you plan to do after it ? I have so many questions!!! YOU'RE videos are life-saving!!! Thank you so much!

    • @DoctorKenji
      @DoctorKenji  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Rachel! Thanks so much for the support!!! These are all great ideas, I'll definitely add them to the list :) My medicine degree is 5 years as I'm not on the 4 year graduate programme. After I graduate, I plan to just continue as junior doctor!

    Yo Kenji wassup my dude
    I am going to do my personal statement this year (summer holidays)
    Could I also talk about my personal extra circular activity
    and also could i talk about my hobby as a TH-camr ?
    Does that sound appropriate ?

    • @DoctorKenji
      @DoctorKenji  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey! So you should definitely talk about your extra curricular things. I'd say that youtube is something that would also be suitable to mention :)

    Hey Kenji, I have a question. As you can only apply to 4 med schools, what was your fifth option and is pharmacy a suitable one to pick?

    • @DoctorKenji
      @DoctorKenji  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey! It can be whatever you like, although I do recommend that's it's science related. So anything like pharmacy or biomedical science is great!

    • @DoctorKenji
      @DoctorKenji  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Make sure you spend time training your mind to be confident too! How well you do really does involve how confident you are and how much you believe in yourself. So believe in yourself :) unfortunately my Japanese isn't good enough to film a video 😂 Maybe one day it will be!
