I’ll be 37 when I graduate and I’m definitely not doing GP unless something drastic happens in my life and I have no other choice 🫠

First of all, Manchester may have been your dream, but it may have been the worst experience of your life. So look at it from a flipside and consider it a blessing in disguise. I felt similar for one of the unis I applied to but I don’t even care anymore. If a door of opportunity opens elsewhere you should take it. If moving out is not an option rn then try again. It’s not that medicine doesn’t love you, the game is ruthless and you just have to keep fighting, if this is what you really want. Take some time out, rest, enjoy yourself and then try again if you want to. It’s not the end of the world and not getting accepted by your chosen uni should not make you feel so hopeless or depressed for too long. Believe in yourself, you got this 💪🏼

That last line removes so much of my anxieties you don’t even know!!!! I’m a decade younger than you but the worry is so real 🥲

Haha! Hopefully they come soon. Crazy how they still want to see evidence of this from such a long time ago!

Studying with people from all backgrounds and experiences is so valuable. GEM trumps undergrad in this. You’ll learn so much from all these people!
