Saaame 😂😂
I can't thank you enough for such a productive video on Med school interviews. That STAR method is truly a life-saver. Wishing you the best with future endeavours Kharma Medic!!
The way you explain things it's like an elder brother mentoring us .
And I just want u to know u r helping me in so many ways ...
Thank you for everything and I already know u r going to be one of the best doctors out there .
😋😊
it's wild that I've watched your channel for 2-3 years and I'm still coming back to these videos. I'm interviewing for med schools rn, idk if you'll see this but thank you so much Nasir!
Thanks for UCAT and the interview help. Finally got an offer!
honestly you’re helping me so much to reach my goals!
That's my number one goal! Comments like these make me so happy :D
How did it go?
Hi Nasir, I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you - I just received a place at my top choice medical school and I would be lying if I didn't say that a big part of this was down to you; both for factual information and inspiring me to carry on towards this goal, however long and hard it is. Hope you keep up the great work! Xxx
these videos are honestly, so helpful! All the help I need for applying is on this channel. :)
YAY! such a wonderful comment 😁 Share it with any of your friends if they might find the videos useful too!
Super useful😣 I'm awed by it's usefulness. Thank you so much
Watching your videos succeed in calming me down a bit, I've been really stressed out regarding my application for the last month since I'm still in high school and trying to do everything at the same time. Please keep these videos up though, they're very helpful! :)
Hey Sara! I'm glad they could help you keep calm. Try and focus on one thing at a time, make yourself a schedule and stick to it closely. You got this! Good luck :D New video tomorrow!
How you always making vids at the perfect time with the perfect content
Rohan my G ! Much appreciated 💪🏼💪🏼
Thanks so much! this was really helpful. Now i'm a lot more confident about interview prep :)👍
you're real af!! tysm i have 2 interviews coming up. anxiety at its peak!!!
Keep watching videos and practicing untill you feel more confident and those anxieties will calm! Good luck 😁
Thanks for this vid, really needed this 'kick up the ass' to start my interview prep :)
Get started! The earlier the better for sure. Practice helps the most ☺️
hey!! you helped me a lot,to increase my efficiency
Helped me get into Nottingham Graduate Medicine :)
Your a great content creator! , your getting me closer and closer to my goal
Awww revision knight I gotchu! I wish you the best of luck and keep me updated on your application!
Thanks man, how are you doing now is med school all you wanted it to be :)
Oh man it's everything and more. It's been an amazing experience and I can't wait for all you guys to get in and experience it for yourselves 🤗
Glad, all the work now will be worth it
Oi Google m8 how does this guy make the most wholesome content on all of youtube? Keep it up bro!
On a serious note, that STAR technique is incredibly useful for job interviews as well. So nailing it when applying for med school is good practice for the future too!
Ahahhaaha thanks mate! Imma keep uploading. Production value about to sky🚀 soon too 👀. Yeah it's very useful! Something similar you'll learn in medical school is SBAR which is also very applicable to real life. Take it easy!! ✌🏼
great video, thank you!
thanks for the advice on MMI's - ive recently discovered your channel. I'm also a twin, and have moved from Australia to NZ to study veterinarian medicine. My sis might join me next year here, but i miss her lots. Good luck on your medical journey.
Hey Liza you're most welcome! Twins are the best, and I missed mine so much when we split for uni. I hope you are reunited soon ❤️

Thank you so much! Regards from Brazil
Hello, I have been watching your videos for a year now, and I have taken the path of getting motivated with school, to deciding to go for my dream of applying to medicine, to getting help for UCAT, to getting a good score, to getting an interview. I have mine on the 22nd of this January at Queen Mary. If I see you around London I'll make sure to say hi! Thank you again.
Best of luck!!
I’ve got 3 interview invites so far I’m so nervous lol. But your UKCAT Videos helped me get those interviews so thank you!!
3!! well done :D It's okay to be nervous just make sure you prepare for them well!
Found your UKCAT videos really useful when revising, thanks for all the help!
That's great Joss! Glad I could help 😊Feel free to follow me for other medical school and university related content 🤗
Hi amazing video. Is there any chance that you could link or email the word document with interview questions?
He helped me so much with my UKCAT, and now I’m back on his channel for MMI help. Im so scared!
Good luck!
Just did my med interview yesterday on Zoom! I have watched a lot of your videos and it helped a lot so thank you! I honestly don't know how I did (kept beating myself up about the things I forgot to say or things I could have added in the interview). Fingers crossed for good news in about 2 weeks
Good luck!
I wish you luck aswell
I received my conditional offer on Thursday!!
@@janyw6367 wow that's amazing congratulations I wish you even more luck and success keep working hard and be positive I am also starting my application to med in uk I hope I get in
@@janyw6367 how is it like on zoom? do they answer same format questions as if you are face to face with them?
interview tomorrow wish me luck :)
This was extremely useful!! Thank you so much for making this video, and the timing is perfect haha :D
For the Q&A, I have several questions:
- (I know it may seem stupid) Does the university provide you with the accomodation for the interview or do you have to book a hotel on your own?
- What do you enjoy doing during your free time at uni?
- how many lectures do you have per day on average and how many placements?
- Why did you choose to study in the UK?
- How do you cope with the tuition fees?
- To which unis did you apply to and how many offers did you get?
Sorry if I asked too much and you don't need to answer all of them :)
Awesome video as always!
Hey Fran long time no see! I'm really happy you guys are saying the timing is good I didn't realize there were interviews going on now! How are your applications going? I'll answer those questions in the QnA (never too many questions) 😄
@@KharmaMedic I'm starting to prepare myself for the interviews and this video comes at the perfect time!
My application is doing good, I finished my second draft of my PS recently and my uni choices will probably be Bristol, Newcastle, St. Andrews and Aberdeen. I hope to apply in early September :)
Francesco Marinelli Bristol rep 💪🏼 well done! Keep it up :)
@@KharmaMedic Thanks! :)
@@franm47 Did you get an offer?
Hello Dr. first of all thanks for your videos they're so inspiring, I am a chemist engineer from Mexico but I through the years I've been feeling miserable and since I was 20 I wanted to study medicine, I also want to study abroad but medschool is expensive, how do you afford all the expenses? Regards :)
Thank you so much
You are most welcome Alejandro!
u able to give us a list of questions bro? pretty please ;)
Do u have ur word documents with all the question? Can u share it pls?
Also. I would love to hear your thoughts on life in Your medschool, advice for freshers, whether there is free time ect.
Thanks again pal
I cover these topics a bit in my 'KCL Year in review video' but I'll definitely be talking about it more in upcoming videos :)
Just kill your exams and you got dis!
I have my interview on Friday :/ let's see how I go!
bruh, i only saw this video 20 days before my interview, i got a lot to do 😭😭😭
hi i wanted to ask, you said to edit the response to 1-2 mins. But for birmingham I have been told I will have 6 mins to respond- is it likely they will ask follow up questions as you said if I answer the question in a few mins before 6.Meaning they most likely they will ask other questions in between so i shouldnt keep my response for 6 mins.thanks
For Q&A : what questions to ask in a uni interview
Lit! How do you prepare for those adventure type questions? e.g. if you had a raft boat and can only take 3 people who would they be? Nice one!
This is the first I hear of those questions but that sounds interesting! If you are deciding who to save then You need a very systematic analysis based on facts of life as opposed to personal choice. For example: an objective assessment of health, ability to survive, ability to maintain a good quality of life if damaged or injured etc.. if you are deciding who to take and keep entertained with then choose 3 people who mean something to you and you can talk about! It doesn't matter who they are, what matters is how you justify them :))
Yeah! It is a strange one. I have a friend who applied to QMUL, and she was asked this type of question for her medical interview!
Is the writing all the questions down method valid also for MMI? I'm really struggling to find a way to prepare for the MMI since I'm unsure if they will ask me the traditional questions or if there will be more role-play etc. I'm finding really long to write all the questions down and answering all of them and I'm unsure if this is actually the best way to prepare for the MMI. Should I practice more role play or ethics questions instead? :)
All these tips are for MMI and Panel! The role-playing ones you definitely need to practice acting out the role play as its the only way to get comfortable doing so in front of strangers! It might not be the best method for you so definitely explore and use other / your own methods to prepare. This way just worked really well for me and my friends :)
@@KharmaMedic Thank you very much!
Great stuff Nasir! Btw when exactly would you start preparing for interviews considering ukcat, bmat, ib coursework etc?
Thanks Zain! I don't remember the timing so well to be honest. My advice would be to start everything as early as you can and put in maximal effort. You have to balance it all as a good bmat score is useless without good ib scores and vice versa. Interviews I would practice when I got the chance as much as I could and then when I actually get one I'd put 80% effort on the interview because you neeeed to do well to get that offer. After you have the offer you can work your a** off to get the IB grades 😄
Got my UCAT test tomorrow. What advice can you give on increasing speed in the vr section.
Your test is tomorrow! You've done everything you can do just take the evening off relax and rest well to make sure you are calm for the test! Good luck and kill it!
@@KharmaMedic thanks man👍👌
@@fahad6048 how'd you do my slime?
Watching at 4am and I dont need to yet. 😂
Got a gateway Bristol medicine interview! I’ve got 6 weeks to prepare which is a lot. I hope I don’t over do it 🤞🏾
Good luck!!
how was it my g?
@@halfhead4099 was good! I got in haha
@@ebubeenweani3975 nice :D
did you purchase kharma medic notes? Did he help you at all? Also when it comes to the MMI will we be asked the generic questions such as, why do you want to be a doctor, how do you manage time, what are your strength/ weaknesses. Or will the mmi be full of scenario based questions?
Cheers
@@halfhead4099 I did not purchase them. But all his videos helped. There will be generic questions definitely. Manage your time by thinking about what you want to say first. That way it’s planned out in your head. It’s a mix of both. As long as you know the answers to the main generic questions , you would be able to answer the scenario ones. Good luck!
I’ve just decided I want to apply for medicine at uni, but the deadline is only just under 3 months away, do you think it’s too late?
How is medical school compared to ib school life for you? Would you say you still have a good social/personal life doing medicine?
Prudence Leung hey! It's very different. You get so much more responsibility, workload increases and life becomes a bit more 'real'. But it's infinitely more fun. In Canada for my undergraduate degree I had almost zero free time and spent all my time studying. In the UK the system is so much more relaxed and forgiving to the students of the uni. You have plenty of time to pursue sports or any other hobbies! In fact medics seem to have lots of free time at uni! I'm sure as the years go by this decreases but you can still have lots of fun. @thatmedic is a great example of how you can have lots of fun at uni! University is DOPE. 😄
Senang berkenalan denganMu
Im from in indonesian..
😗😗
I have no idea what you said but thank you I think!
Have you ever/would you ever share the document with the different questions?
maybe, keep an eye out on my Etsy page 👀
@@KharmaMedic ;)
How long do you think should be spent preparing for an MMI interview at Kings? I have mine on February but I feel like if I start preparing now it is way too early and I might forget stuff. What would you advise me to do?
It might be a bit too early from now but do start slowly and ramp up as you get closer. Getting used to talking to strangers or explaining why you want to do a doctor out loud to someone else can be nerve racking and take time to build confidence in. It doesn't hurt to start early! But each person is different and needs different amounts of time. You know yourself best but I would air on the side of caution 🙂
Kharma Medic thanks for the quick reply!
@@LB-cp1un how was it my slime?
How can you finance your education ?
Hello, how would you go about tackling the classic "why do you want to become a doctor" obviously answers vary but what things would you advise to never mention when answering that question? Your content is very helpful thank you for your hard work :)
(P.s loving the Fruit Loops product placement)
Hey mar thanks for the feedback 😊 I would just say avoid the major clichés. Sit down and think about it for yourself and go for it. It doesn't truly matter what the reasons are but how you justify and talk about them 😄
Thank you so much for this video! I have a panel interview in 3 weeks times. One thing I am worried about is sounding too rehearsed and structured if I have thoroughly prepared my answers beforehand. Any ideas for tackling this?
@Rooz Tee Nottingham
@Rooz Tee aww no way 😂 least it means you have more time to prepare :)
@@fasiatbashir5752 heyy! how was it!
@@arushisarabhai3729 very unexpected questions and feel like prep didn’t really help that much! Mock interviews however did , and getting used to answering questions on the spot! No idea how I did but I’m hoping for the best!
How you memorize all the material?
Especially Microbiology? To me? Is too much information.
How memorize for test/ exams?
Hello I watched a video today of someone getting their ukcat results and they said that the decision making section doesn’t count to the overall score so it’s sort of pointless to do? Is that correct? If needed I can send the link to it to see if I’ve just heard it wrong?
As far as I know DM is now a scored and counted section. It was piloted in 2016 when I wrote my exam.
Kharma Medic ahh okay thank you! :)
Got rejected from 3/4 of my med schools and honestly thought I was gonna get rejected from my last one too but somehow I have an interview!!!! 😭 I have a month to prepare and I just wanna do it so good bc it’s my last chance of getting in this year, any tips?
did you get the offer?
Man, they've only given me a 3 days notice. I hope they don't expect much from me, given the circumstances.
Practice practice practice!
@@KharmaMedic The interview is tomorrow, but I will do my best! thanks :)
@@Kazamezo1 how'd you do? don't air me or else i think you did bad :(
@@halfhead4099 You should've ended your comment with your initial question, the second part has absolutely no useful input.
And for that, I'm not going to answer your question.
Keep that in mind during your interview, don't say stupid things. And good luck.
@@Kazamezo1 Haha just wanted to ask how you did :/
A lot of ppl on here don't respond when we ask how they do and so by first glance it is a sign that they are afraid to open up on not getting accepted.
Judging by your tone i'm guessing same thing was for you as if you passed then you would tell me you did, have a laugh at my funny mssg and go on with your day 😋
You say you were preparing for "weeks" before. Approximately how many weeks?
Prepare for as many as you have. The more the better
@@KharmaMedic but surely there is a limit. You cant start wayyyy in advance?
Where is your ukcat notes videoo??
Here I am preparing for indian medical entrance exam
Called AIIMS
Good luck!!
Same but along with UK med interviews too
Hello! Thanks for this great video, I was wondering if you have any advice on how to interview prep if you have not got a lot of time (a few days) and you have lost ur voice! (I know its not a great situation to be in, but I had an interview last week so I did prep for that, I'm hoping I'll remember some of it) Because I know practice is key but I do not want to strain my voice and not be able to speak at the interview!
Yes practice IS 🔑! Just do the same prep but run through your thoughts and ideas in your head 😁 hope it resolves itself asap!
Kharma Medic Thanks!! I hope so too x
10,000 words WHAT my interview is tomorrow and now I'm even more nervous!
Don't stress! That was just my method of studying. Everyone is different and learns / prepares in different ways. You do YOU! 💪🏼 Good luck tomorrow!!
Oh bless you haha!! I have done as much as I think I can but you're definitely right in terms preparation... thankyou for all your help 👏🏼
Kharma Medic Update, I think it went super well!! Thankyou for all your help with everything Kharma Medic !!
That's so great to hear! You are very welcome but you did 99% of the work!
I have a plymouth MMI interview for dentistry on tuesday and I dont know how to prepare for a MMI, any help please? Ive also got an interview at QMUL for dentistry but its a panel and I feel ill be better at the panel
Only have a day to prepare due to personal issues
Hey Hamza! I'm sorry to hear that. Everyone has their own circumstances and you now have to make the most out of it. It's okay, you have time to understand and learn everything they are looking for and then you just have to speak it out loud and explain it to them 😁 make a plan, focus on the most important / likely to come up questions and you've got this. If you have any questions send me a DM on Instagram and I'll reply as soon as I can. Good luck!
how was it
got a kings interview in 2 weeks, done no prep and now im bricking it
congrats on the interview and now it's time to start preparing gogogogogogo! 🏃🏻♂️
yeah need to start crushing it out man!
@@ramaboy10 how was it my g?
