Thank you ever so much for this video. I have been looking for something like that for quite a while now and this is really spot on. I am seriously considering now applying to Peterhouse for medicine. Thank you for your efforts to reach out. I really enjoyed it!
The interviewer put the interviewee at ease. Questions were very fair and of a clinical disposition. Peterhouse would be my choice for studying medicine. A great video.
Worst thing when an assistant is staring at you while you talk with a teacher ...it looks like she feeds all your positive energies..seriously a horrible feeling :(
I already graduated and this still haunts me, damn. I am so proud of myself for surviving, and my supervising Drs. were the most vindictive coldest people. No smile, but I suppose they had to be that way. Not to that extent though. Almost gives me PTSD lol. I know you’re there Dr. Goodlife
@@concofpsdon't say this about yourself! Not knowing biology is completely fine and doesn't mean you're not smart or sth, and let me tell u as a science student every human being have the same brain same cells so that's make us all smart and beyond smart actually! It just u have to learn how to use how do u understand things, u can understand biology like scientists and u can discover sth new in that field, it just that u have to understand your way of learning things, understand the basics and read, search more, wishes u luck ❤😊
I am not planning to go to Cambridge or going to med school or anywhere near a science degree......but I was so terrified by this...but for some reason I definitely want to do this! That's weird. Genetics is the also the most difficult part of biology...at least for me.
Thank you for your awesome video. I'm always dreaming to study at Cambridge. I've been working hard on mathematical subjects. It's a very difficult. I'm studying 10 hours per day, and I got exhausted. My favourite subject is mathematic!
I'm in Year 12 right now and I'm currently preparing to apply for Cambridge to study medicine - this video was so helpful as I had no idea what a typical interview for medicine would be like before :) thank you so much for making it!
@@deviant7100 Im feeling pretty good about the scientific content but I'm worried about waffling for too long in my answers. Im my mock interviews, no one has really told me how long my answers should be.
This is totally different from the rest of the UK medical interviews and the Ivies medical school MD admission interviews. I guess probably it is because Cambridge wants not just medical professionals, but professional medical scientists. While the other medical schools including the top North American ones treat themselves as professional schools.
No one I swear no one wants to be exactly a neurosurgeon as a teenager lol . Tell the truth u want to be because of the money . How can someone without an experience say such a thing lol
@@ievam6879 Actually I've had experience in the medical field with clinicians and consultants which only helped me further develop my passion for neurology. I want to do the job to help people not because of a money-orientated mindset lol.
@@ievam6879 they're both under the same branch of medicine regarding the nervous system . Developing my interest in neurology can also help with neurosurgery . do better lol 😂
great video, very useful. please can you post the pictures email to the pictures of the articles mentioned in the interview so that i can make more sense of what is going on.
dharmx Thanks 🙏. Sorry, I’m afraid that’s not something we can provide. These videos are intended to give general interview insights on the types of questions/format an interview might take. Good luck in your preparation!
When you're being "tested" and are failing to "do well" there is no "learning experience" to it besides you're unprepared and ignorant and if you didn't know that "going in", you probably have a "learning disability" and have had for life. "Studying" and "learning" are not things you should still be doing right before "test-taking". If you are, you're in the wrong "field" and have no real interest in it or you'd automatically learn and wouldn't need to "study". Rote memorization is not "learning", data and information are not "knowledge" and interviews are not "tests" you can "study" for.
@@deeremeyer1749 You are the perfect exemplification of what some real nasty deep-seated insecurities can do to a person's psyche. I have never once understood how tearing other people down can make anyone happier. Please get help.
Thank you posting this, now i have a better idea on what an interview is like……. genuinely terrified if i get an interview as I have terrible communication skills and socially inept which is not ideal for medicine ahaaa :’)
AGE and PA MEDICINE: Really enjoying your docs. Do you think AGE would hold me back applying to be a PA? I agonise about this all the time. All I've ever wanted to be is a doctor but it has never been an option due to life. (things have changed RE opportunity, supporting family, student loans, etc). I'm 50 and work making science documentaries but I have a Biological Sciences Degree from Oxford, and a PhD in Human Evolution from from Cambridge. I made extra money as a phlebotomist at University, am a trained and experienced as a FREC5 medic and a practising CFR so have got my hands on plenty of patients. But I'm 50! Even though I still have over 20 years working ahead of me, I think the PA course was designed just for me and I'd love it. But is there any point chucking in my career to do something I would love for the sake of vocation and a lifelong dream at this point. Am I being naive and unrealistic. Give it to me real please.
Hey, thanks for reaching out. Honestly, I don’t think it should hold you back, I have a peer going through GP training with me who is the same age as you. The only way to know is to apply. Wishing you the best!
Is it common for colleges to ask questions based on case studies given 30 minutes prior to the interview, or is this a niche for Peterhouse? From my understanding, i thought that you wouldn't receive any case studies, but you would instead be asked questions in the form of a discussion/supervision upon entering the room.
AK_ SL There is variation between colleges, this is what Peterhouse does. You’ll have to look at the different websites for more information and other colleges may also have videos of what they do. Good Luck!
If both parents are heterozygous (carriers) of the CF gene (so they themselves both have genotype Cc), their child could have CC, Cc, cC or cc. They would only have cystic fibrosis if they were cc, and therefore there is a 1/4 chance of their child having cystic fibrosis IF both parents are carriers.
I’m confused by the case, we know the brother doesn’t have CF but his brother does so he is either a carrier Cc or has CC. So there’s a 1/3 chance of him passing on the recessive c. His partner has a 1/25 chance of being a carrier. So that would be 1/3 x 1/25 x1/4. Why is it 2/3 x1/25 x 1/4?
Because the brother could be Cc, cC or CC. The first two variants include the recessive allele so that makes 2/3. I think this is right but I'm not a medicine applicant so sorry if not but hope it helps!
Why do universities there make it so difficult to just study? I don't know, but they act as if only the "candidates" need them and they are high up there, they make something that is necessary very difficult, all people should have access to education, It shouldn't be so hard to be educated. Here in Brazil is a lot easier compared to the UK.
Because they get a lot of applications but only have limited amount of spaces. So they need a way to determine who to actually allow into the university to study
The universities are ranked. If you want an easy access (some don't even interview) you choose a lower ranked university. If you think you are better than those that think life is so easy they should just be able to sail through doing nothing more than necessary, then you apply to the Russell group. I don't believe universities in Brazil rank particularly high globally in many subjects? Could be wrong.

If both parents are heterozygous (carriers) of the CF gene (so they themselves both have genotype Cc), their child could have CC, Cc, cC or cc. They would only have cystic fibrosis if they were cc, and therefore there is a 1/4 chance of their child having cystic fibrosis IF both parents are carriers.

Then where did the 1/4 come from
I think 1/4 comes from the final punnett square chance of cc

Why do universities there make it so difficult to just study? I don't know, but they act as if only the "candidates" need them and they are high up there, they make something that is necessary very difficult, all people should have access to education, It shouldn't be so hard to be educated. Here in Brazil is a lot easier compared to the UK.
Because they get a lot of applications but only have limited amount of spaces. So they need a way to determine who to actually allow into the university to study
On top of what vlad said, you don’t want incompetent doctors, do you? The reason it’s hard is that it ensures competent people become doctors.
The universities are ranked. If you want an easy access (some don't even interview) you choose a lower ranked university. If you think you are better than those that think life is so easy they should just be able to sail through doing nothing more than necessary, then you apply to the Russell group.
