^ Took me about 25 hours of work to get this done and honestly think its lit. Will help you start thinking about how you will create answers that will maximise chances of looking like the real deal at interview. Lots of personal reflections and stories from me and an exemplar answer from my experience.
From the outside looking in, it's tempting to assume that graduate entry medicine is ridiculously hard to get into. Since assumptions make an ass out of both you and me, I would like to attempt to debunk that somewhat.
Thus, the first half of this video is dedicated to the reasons why GEM has the notorious reputation for being harder to get on to than a greased up bucking horse. The second half tries then to give a more optimistic view of the statistics. I am hoping that this gives you, in turn, hope for your graduate medicine applications this year and in years to come.

just send off all my med applications, as an arts grad I've found your videos really helpful, thanks so much :)
Best of luck.
Could you share more info on applying as an Arts Grad, please? Did you have to do Science Alevels or you already had them please?
just wondering, if you don't mind me asking how did your application go?
Your video crafting is excellent, and the way you present your information is beautiful. The Dune novel clearly reflects the level of skill you have :)
Best of luck in your last year!
I'm doing ODP right now, but I'm wanting to apply to graduate entry medicine, do you think ODP will be accepted as a undergrad degree?
How important would you say work experience is ?? I don’t have any in the NHS cause I only realised this past summer after graduating that medicine is what I want to do.
Well done to you and good luck 👍. I never got pass through UKCAT, BMAT etc. Feels like my brain can’t function on that level 🧠
Same here
You mentioned that you had work experience in healthcare before applying for GEM. What type of work experience did you do and how did you go about getting this?
Hey Marius, I was wondering if I can contact you privately, I have a couple of questions I was wondering I can ask :)
I really want to get into GEM :( it’s a dream of mine
Brother you smashed it with this video. I studied Btec biomed and applied however i got rejected by 3 unis the forth one offered me Mpharm and biomed. What do you recommend i should choose to get into medicine. Gap year is not an option. Thank you
Yes brother, thank you for the kind words. Mpharm and biomed will both keep all the options open in terms of potential graduate medicine courses - particularly if you get a 1st class. I would say go with your gut and what you feel you will be more interested in.
Hey Marius. Did you apply for Warwick? just wondering if you had any tips for their application process. Thanks :D
Hey, yeah I did indeed - planning to make a video on Warwick soon! Good luck if you're applying.
2:51 - Wow!!! 1/50 chance for a graduate!
Thank you for sharing those stats. But why do they do this? Is this ageism? Preference over a younger candidate?
Thats a good question! I'm not sure what the answer is though - but i'd like to see the competition ratio's come into alignment in the future
Ah man. I was 0.5% off getting a first, now that you mentioned that Barts is unlikely to accept except firsts 😢 I wanted Barts
Not impossible! Just statistically difficult - you just need to finesse the UCAT
Hi, I have small question. Do I need to complete all 3 years in biomed degree to apply to graduate medicine?
No! You can apply in September of your final year with your predicted degree grade. I had biomed colleagues at durham who did that and started grad med immediately after undergrad. All the best
In South Africa there's only one. Pretty much the entire country wants in unfortunately😅
Do they care about what university you go to. E.g going to a uni such as bcu to study biomedical science ???
I think its fine to study anywhere! I haven't come across any evidence of grad med schools favouring particular universities.
