Thankyou so much. I have a while before I start my application process but this has helped so much.

THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU . My biggest problem is my inner voice . It’s tells me I can’t get in , I’m not good enough or I’m I’ll prepared. I started reading a book and a done a few virtual experiences but I just feel like I’m so boring and the university won’t want me .
Oh Lola its so hard you feel like this, but I know exactly how you feel as i used to be the same. But honestly the best thing I did was start talking to myself positively, you can do this! You are honestly amazing and if you even have an interview than it means they want you so its so good you even got to that stage. Good luck and remember you can do this!
@@annarebecca ty sm . I made an action plan and I’m going to follow it . March is coming and I’m ready for change .
thank you for sharing this info!
Thanks for watching lovely xx
wow you got all 4 offers! That is rare! You must be INSANELY smart :) I've got a new found respect for Medical students as of late, like, the highest amount I can give to anyone, up there with people who serve in the forces
Thank you so so so much! This means a lot, the medics who have been working on the front line during this pandemic are honestly amazing, I don’t know how they have done it1
Hey Anna! Thank you for the awesome video
Hi, could you please make a more detailed video about the interviews and how to properly prepare. Loved this video btw, really informative. Thanks
Yes ofc that will be coming soon! Thank you so much for watching
Thanks a lot Anna!
Thank Esther!
Way to go girl (y)
THANK YOU ☺️
im in y12 and i would love if you make a special video upon UCAT this would be helpful.
im a international studnet who want to study medicine (which is even more competitive for us) in the UK and i'd really appreciate if you could make a video dedicated to us ideally with a friend who in an international student
Great video! Other than Birmingham, Cardiff, Manchester and Nottingham which other unis place a strong emphasis on GCSEs?
Thankyou so much girl 💞
so happy it was helpful!
You can also do an access course to medicine (though you have to be above 19 years old and going into uni at 21+ years of age.)
As for work experience, I spoke to several unis that have said that those applying for 2021 will not be penalized if they don't have any work experience. You can also do virtual work experience (a few medical schools offer these) and taking note of the medical side of the news.
this is great advice, thank you for watching x
This video helped me soo much , can you please make videos based on how to efficiently revise for chemistry or biology please
I actually already have one on chemistry th-cam.com/video/S3-6UZlGNVY/w-d-xo.html and biology th-cam.com/video/DhWJpUKUtyM/w-d-xo.html one!
I hope you find these helpful, so glad you enjoyed this video thank you so much for watching!
hiya- im about to go into college and i need to start thinking about what to do at uni, ive always wanted to do med but recently have been really contemplating it because i feel like all my 20s will be full of studying/stress instead of enjoying them and travel etc- so i want to know do you have a good amount of freetime to do what you want- ive been contemplating a shorter degree but idk ive always wanted to do medicine?
Please do a vid on how to do well on a ukat!
I actually already do! m.th-cam.com/video/v7oitGfk_Q4/w-d-xo.html I really hope you find it helpful ☺️
Could you pls send the link for the UCAT book? I can't find the exact same version on Amazon
I am not even going into the medicine field yet I still watched this whole video just because it was interesting to learn😂💖
You are amazing thank you so much!! xx
Super helpful! I'm thinking of applying to the UK in couple years:)
This is so exciting so glade you found it helpful x
Could you maybe make a video explaining how you picked the uni after the offer?
I think this video might be really helpful or you th-cam.com/video/mx1aKongSXY/w-d-xo.html
im currently doing physio and wanna do me dicine as a post grad. do you think i need relevant work experience as well? or will the 5/6 palcements ive had throughout the degree be fine? thank you for the video btw! it helps a lot!
You're soo cute omg 🥺💕
Thank you so much! xx
doing amazin xx
Thank you so much girl xx
This was such an inspiring video. I have slightly lower GCSE grades and I was wondering if you knew which medical schools put less emphasis on GCSE's.
Also, a UCAT video would be really helpful 😊
Thank you so much for watching! So if you have lower grades you don't really want to apply anywhere with a point system, so not like Nottingham, Birmingham or Manchester. I know Exeter, Anglia Ruskin and Southampton you just need to pass the GCSE requirements, which you need to check on their websites but they don't score them. It would also help you out a lot and really boost your application if you get a high UCAT/BMAT score so I would really focus on that and ofc I will make a video so keep an eye out for that. So glade it was helpful x
Thank you so much 😊
@@dhritimehta7842 Don't forget, if you don't quite get the right A levels either, you can apply for graduate entry medicine using a 2:1 degree in any subject, many people do it this way! Very few graduate entry medicine programs look at any grades except for the 2:1 degree requirement (or a 2:2 with a masters degree). Keep the motivation going!
@@Claire-xi2rb Thanks Claire that's definitely another option if I don't get the right predicted grades 😊
@@dhritimehta7842 If you don't get the predicted grades: first check if you are a contextual/ widening participation student. if you are ARU has a low UCAT cut off for the last few years and give an ABB offer and prediction for contextual applicants. Considering you got low GCSEs I'm guessing you might be. Aston and Kent don't look at precitded grades (you will still need to get AAA/AAB on result day though). Birmingham only want you to be predicted AAB same with Hull York I think. Foundation medicine is an option. Please don't automatically think of graduate medicine. There are so many other options apart from graduate medicine. If there is anything else you would like to ask me let me know as I've looked a lot into pretty much all medical schools. Good luck!!!
As someone with dyslexia did you get extra time?! If so how much extra time did you get
could you do a video for medical personal statements x
yeah for sure, thats a great ill do this next after the UCAT one xx
how many books would you say are necessary for the application?
Hi Anna, thanks for the video. For the personal statement, the work experience section is difficult because not a lot of experience could be completed this year because of covid. I know some universities have said ‘ don’t worry about this part’. What would you recommend I write in my personal statement, should I just not mention it or say I couldn’t complete it because of covid. Thankyou !! Xx
Hi Jessica, It was such a difficult year and so hard to get work experience so please don’t worry at all. I have seen this on the uni pages so they do understand. However, personally I wouldn’t put anything negative on your personal statement. I wouldn’t say you couldn’t get work experience but try to think about how covid has helped you grow as a person (particularly in a way that would benefit you as a doctor) or other forms of “work experience” you have if you’ve been a mentor at school or part of any extra curriculum activities. Hope this helps and good luck with your application ☺️ xx
Hi! ive just started year 12 and want to apply for medicine next year, how much work experience / volunteering did you have? how much do you think is required in order to get a place?
you go girlll, my clever best friend!!! Xox
I love you so much!! xx
I'm hoping to be a doctor when i'm older. I get my GCSE grades this year and am picking triple science and art for my A levels. I really hope i get into med school!!
I hope you do too 🤞🏼 good luck with everything and thank you so much for watching xx
@@annarebecca thankyou xx
Can you please post a video on getting scholarships for med school?
sorry I haven’t got a scholarship for medical school they are extremely rare in the UK
Also, for people who watch greys anatomy, just know that the call rooms IRL are not there to have coitus with your "friends"
I am a european citizen with B2 English and 98/100 grade point average. I can take Ucat and IELTS but my school doesnt provide an IB program. How can i get into medical in Britain?
hi, would it be possible for me to do a Biomedical degree first and then go into a Medicine degree through that? because I am doing applied science level 3 and I am predicted D* D* D*
would you suggest doing an epq? x
What work experience did you do ❤️
Hi , im a DPT ( Doctor of Physical Therapy) graduate. I really want to take an admission in MD. Could you please tell me about the procedure?
Did you have much experience with horses before volunteering with riding for the disabled?
I used to ride a lot when I was younger so I did but you can volunteer with no riding experience too! x
By volunteer work do you mean welfare work?
I’m going into year 10 and I’m not very good at science but I want to work hard to hopefully become a doctor and make my mum proud what should I start revising to get better at science?
Make sure you want to become a doctor for the right reasons lovely, your mum will be proud of you no matter what or at least should, so go into a career your enjoy. If you really know you want to be a doctor then start with your hardest science and work on that slowly doing extra bits of revision.
Can you take a level pe to get into med school?
Hi.Ive been really trying to decide what to do. Should I apply with a deferred entry or wait and apply during the gap year? Please answer if you can.🙏🏼
This is a really hard one lovely and it is ultimately your decision. If you apply deferred then you shouldn't have a problem and if you have a good plan of what you want to do, then most universities will let you if you get a place and it doesn't normally stop you getting an offer. This would then mean you have your place and can just enjoy your gap year. However, it is a lot of extra work to do during 6th form. If you apply during your gap year then you won't have to do it during 6th form and it would take off some pressure but the application process will take up a lot of your gap year. You will need to stay in the country to prepare for the UCAT/BMAT and you need to take this the same year as you apply and be around for interviews. It really depends what you think would suit you best and what your priorities are. Hope this helps a little bit xx
@@annarebecca Thank you so much. It was great to hear this from a perspective of someone who has been through it already. Xxxx.
Is a level chemistry required? I’m currently doing biology psychology and sociology.
a lot of medical schools in the UK do ask for it but its not an essential, check the entry requirements page for each uni I know there are a few that don't need it
im 16, just finished gcses and im got all 8ts and 9ns, would that be ok for being in medicine (not including 8 levels)
YESSSSS that is amazing!!! You should be so proud of yourself xx
Hey1 I took the IB course this year and I have also taken up BSMS virtual work experience. As an International student would a good IELTS score and ucat score. I took Biology Chemistry and Math AA HL and for SL I took English, Physics and French ab inito
Thank you so much for watching, good luck with your entry!
@@annarebecca yeah thx so much
Hey A-R! Just wondering... how did you decide to study at Birmingham? Did you look at the others that accepted you or did you know straight away where you wanted to go? Sorry if you already made a video about this, I didn't find it!
Hey, I did look at all of them, they all had the pros and cons. But I just fell in love with the campus at Birmingham and I also like that most of the clinical placements aren't too far from the university (unlike places like Bristol) hope this helps let me know if you have any other questions at all x
@@annarebecca that makes sense, thank you! I'm almost 30 and I decided to do a total career change & go back to uni to study medicine... I just submitted my applications & can't tell you how helpful your videos have been! I love your positive energy. It's so nice that you've recorded your whole journey because it just reminds me that it's a slow process but things still steadily move along..
can you put all the resources used
I’m a graduate in psychology I’m trying to apply for medicine. Medicinal student who offers his services to help others told me that my choices are limited specially cause I don’t have English and maths gcse B or above and he also said I’m limited because of the fact that it’s psychology and not a lot of uni take that for gem .... so told me to maybe to consider one year college to do access to medicine course .... my gcse were c grades. So I dont know what to do now he said I can still try apply but my options will be limited cause they look at your gcse and few unis consider psycholgy bsc as a science. Please can anyone offer any advice?😭
i dont think they look at gcses if you have a 1st or 2:1 in your degree so focus on work expirence books gamsat
can you do videos on how you got A/A* on your subjects please
Is this for GCSE or A level I was thinking of doing a GCSE one soon if enough people are interested and next week there is one on chemistry a level coming!
everyday Anna a level 1000% please , there’s barely any good a level videos out there
Do u think an EPQ is useful and helps you get into medicine easier or is it a waste of time? I’m not doing it but I’m scared I’ll regret it
I didn’t do one and I can say it didn’t hold me back at all! The most important thing are you a level grades and I thought it was best to focus on those. It is a little bonus but there are so many more important things like work experience that will make you stand out so much more, so personally I wouldn’t regret it at all!
Can I do dentistry with grade C in English language at gcse ? and I got A*A* at science and maths GCSE but for English I got c and I’m really worried
I’m in your same position I’m in year 13 doing maths, further maths , Chem biology and predicted high but I want to go in med school but I didn’t achieve a 6 in English which is a basic requirement 😓
@@user-jq3qt8no7h what I did is retake gcse English only so I’m doing summer exam
UCAT video please
ofc coming soon!
Do these universities allow A level resits?
can i spend a week revising for ukat
i just got my ucas gardes back and i got ABB i hope that will be good enough 😭😭
thats so good, you should be proud!!
What is good grades in gcse in the new 9-1 system like all 7s(old a) and above ? Does it matter if we get one subject below a 7 like I might get a 4 or 5 in spanish because I was put on foundation and not very good at it but would most likely be the only subject below a 7 (I'm predicted quite a few 8s and 9s) would that be OK?
9 is A* and 8 is between A* and A, 7 is still an A I believe. A 4 is a pass, or a C and a 5 is a high C low B. in a foundation subject the highest grade given is a 5. you will do fine in your results :) I'm also getting mine this year
@@ktm11545 i know what they represent im juts wondering what they comsider "good grades" i got 7 9s 2 8s and a 5 in spanish and i was wondering if that would be considered good since its such a general thing to say
What GCSEs did u get
I’m 12 I wanna be a doctor when I grow up :) what topics should I study? I really want to go to meet school, it’s literally my dream : ) subbed :).
Hey!! Good luck I’m so sure your get there with hard work and you sound like you are so passionate about it, I would make sure you stick with the sciences and just focus on doing well in the subjects you enjoy on top of those. Thanks so much for subbing and commenting 💛
@@annarebecca
I can’t believe you replied to me queen :).
Is Biology compulsory in 11th and 12th grade or High School?
I took Physics, Chemistry and Maths in 11th and 12th in Indian CBSE School Board.
Will I be eligible for Med Schools in UK??
I just want to ask, in my GCSEs I got Biology-8
Chemistry-9
English Language-6
English Literature-6
Geography-8
German-9
Maths-7
Maths statistics-7
Physics-8
Psychology-8
Punjabi-6. And I'm on course for AAAA in my a levels. Being brutally honest, would that be enough to get into Birmingham?
100 percent
I was i was in your position, all through GCSES I only tried in my science and maths and got 8’s and 1 9 in them but I didn’t try at all in the other subjects now I’m in year 13 and doing maths further maths chemistry and biology(and predicted 3As and 1A* ) but because I didn’t get a 6 in English which is a basic requirement for most med schools I get rejected
@@user-jq3qt8no7h you said 100%, but how am I different to you, we both did bad in English
@@TS-tx1xv I got a 4 in English all Russel group university require a 6 to get in also I did bad in things like business and geography
@@TS-tx1xv if u go on to do maths chemistry biology and get at least 3 As I’m telling u u will get into medicine
I got CCC can I get into a UK medical school?
To be honest I think you might struggle, most medical schools are AAA minimum.
Is Chem is crucial.. Well I'm looking forward to pick bio psychology eng.. Will it be possible to pass the requirements of any UK medical scl..
Chemistry is a requirement for every medical school I have ever looked into so you probably won't get into medical school with the alevels you're picking, sorry.
Hi, I did a little more research for you, there are a few med schools in the UK that require biology OR chemistry, however your choices are very limited. There are a total of 33 medical schools I. The UK, there are three that do not require chemistry but another science. You should research some med schools that you are interested in and look at the requirements.
Would you ever consider giving these books away ?
I have lent a lot of the books to a friend Im really sorry x
@@annarebecca are they any remaining at all ??
@@annarebecca are any books remaining at all ?
hey there, what medical school are you going to?
I'm not sharing it on the internet yet! But I will be soon
University of Birmingham 😍🇬🇧
I love it!
it was super fun and interesting to watch it, keep going on this way! I joined your fam 657 with the bell and hope you will join my fam too! I wish you more success to come
Ofc I will lovely thank you so much xx
what did you get for your ucat?
I got 2820 in total and band 1
Hii, this is a very motivational video and I love it. I have a question tho, I did Chemistry, Mathematics and Psychology A-levels but can I still do medicine?. I would appreciate it if you reply.❣️
So glade you found it helpful! Yes of course you can, some universities look for Biology as an a level but there are some that don’t you will just have less choice, you just need to look at the entry requirements I know Edinburgh and Sheffield don’t but there are many more. Hope this helps x
everyday Anna ok, thanks 😊
Look at medicine with a foundation year
Anna: Take a 3rd subject to have a break from science subjects
Me: takes physics
😂 its so easily done, hopefully you’ll enjoy it!
I'm literally am 11 why I am I stressing about this
Exactly don’t stress about anything!
I'm 13, and I do want to be a parimedic so for gces's I'm doing chemistry, biology and pe. Pe because I enjoy sports. Anna, what are you going to do in the medical industry, as in what job
me: 12
also me: watching this despite not having to worry about applying for 6 years yet -
😂😂😂 thank you so much for watching!! Hope you found it slightly helpful xxx
Are you thinking about going to med school? If you are it's amazing that you're thinking about it so early!!

Sorry about this I’m trying to slow down. Do you have any questions I can answer ?

I hope we can support each other in this journey🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I think for most people, ‘good’ grades, especially at GCSE can be quite subjective. My grades will be teacher assessed this year so I’m scared that my full potential won’t be reflected in my grades. What would you say are good grades at GCSEs? Would you say all 7s, 8s and 9s? I love your videos btw!! 🤍
I think so because they are all as and a*s and we most likely would get some leniency because they are not exactly our grades it has been a difficult yr too which doesn't leave the same room for the same development
