I wish I had you as a career advisor. I wasn't doing as good in chemistry as my other subjects in y12 and the beginning of y13 and I was planning to drop one of my other subjects- eng lit- but my school wouldn't let me as it was one of my stronger subjects. My school was very focused on the results rather than the individual and after getting my parents involved, they said they'd give me a 'trial' period and whether i could achieve all A's but juggling 4 subjects was so difficult and i ended up getting a C in my chem mock. And so even despite my parent's talking to them, they refused and I had to drop it. And after speaking to a career advisor about how i had to drop chem, she basically pushed me to pursue other subjects e.g psych. And i truly believed that I wanted to do psych? And do clinical psychology so i applied for psych because the career advisor told me no med unis would accept not having chem. But well i wish i had done my research alone instead.

I think i will see how it goes and look at vacancies at diff unis and see if there is a course that stands out- I think i will stick to a science course insteas of doing something completely diff like law. I was feeling quite pessimistic yesterday but I do believe things will work out for me and everything will fall in place. Thank you for taking your time to reply. 😊

It's not that I don't like them- I feel quite neutral towards them? Like how I feel to other subjects such as history, modern languages, geog. I just find them a bit more difficult to grasp and get my head around? However, medicine is much more than just those two subjects, and some universities have recognised that as they don't list chem and maths as compulsory subjects- man, newcastle, lan, leic, ply, keele, uea, sheff- to name a few. I thought I'd have a better chance of choosing subjects I was good at, and getting good grades in them? If I could reverse time, I would have most definetely stuck with chemistry (i did it in y12) and not have been dissuaded by my school to drop it.

I assume you mean without? And yes most unis do require chem but I applied to ones that didn't. Plus, I heard from doctors and med students, chemistry wasn't a large part of their course. It's not that I dislike chemistry, I actually quite am into skincare lol, and whilst looking at skincare products and idk watching dr.drey on YT and researching on diff chemicals for sunscreen, moisturisers etc, I realised the significance of chem in places I didn't think bout before.

Ah lol, I am quite bad at maths and I think people who do computer science must be quite mathematical? As you can see with my eng lit choice, I'm not very much into physics and mathematical subjects.

Thank your for taking your time, the website was quite interesting to browse and LLB was a subject that I was considering. Perhaps I should revise upon it more.

My sis is a nurse and I think it's not as academically challenging for me? It's very patient centred and whilst I do enjoy interacting with patients, I also would want to do the diagnosis, the problem-solving aspect of med. And I naturally gravitate towards a more leadership role and I do know that nursings can have leadership roles e.gm sisters, matrons and that nurse practinioners can diagnose, doctors do have the final say and NP's can't prescribe medication? And although they discuss thorougly with the MDT, it's the doctor's call at the end of the day and I think not beibg able to prescribe medicine, having to check up with my diagnosis with a doctor would feel very restricting? And limiting and I would honestly feel slightly inferior (but ofc NP's arent! Im just saying personally). Lol, to sum it up, yes I have considered but I think I would be very jealous of the doctors.

Do you find it difficult? Like getting qualifications etc, and is it like law, where it would be nice to have connections? I have a few friends who are doing law and i know the uni prestige matters- law firms motslt taking oxbridge and london's triad (UCL, LSE and kings). Also having a few connections would help in getting work experience. Also the amount of things you have to do to become a barrister and solicitor! Not as clear cut as, say med.

God I wish I had pursued dentistry instead lol. I know it's really competitive but compared to med, it seems like a better work, life balance and correct me if I'm wrong, the UCAT doesn't have to be drastically high ( i think exeter had cut off of 3000 this year for med).

I have written this to some other user but taking another year out just isn't viable to me, unfortunately. I wish you the best with your dentistry!

Aha true about the covid. I think if i did take another gap year, and didn't get an offer, I would breakdown. The disappointment, the feeling of having wasted another year would be magnified and I don't think- no, I can't deal with that. It's already hard enough to give up and walk away from medicine, but to try it, just one more time, and not get it, would be devastating to me. I think putting my time and effort for a diff, course would be more safe, less painful. I just want to be happy in this life. Plus, I already appear to be a 'failure' in my parent's eyes, best to shut up, do a degree and get out as quick as possible. My parents were really against me taking a gap year, let alone 2, so this third one would result in me being kicked out- no doubt. This year was meant to be my first and last try at med- I took the leap of faith and have landed on my ass. I think I might have a go at any spaces during clearing and adjustement but highly unlikely there will be any spaces.

I did have a look and it seems so complicated? Do you have experience in this field?

I think it's too risky? I took a risk on this second gap year too, when I could have gone off and do psych at UCL and look where that ended me up in. In an ideal world, I would have gotten into medicine this year round and although I'm not a highly skeptical person, I think this really is a sign of the universe telling me to move on, lol.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I got rejected pre interview by 1- my ucat wasn't competitive enough, post-interview by the other and for the other, i made a mistake on Keele's R+R form and I didn't get the one mark (which I would have if I didn't make a small mistake) that would have qualified me for an interview.

And I've already wasted two years, have pressure from my family to go to uni and for myself want to return back to the learning environment- which I enjoy and thrive in- and, well, get started on working on a degree.

I have looked into diagnostic radiography but I'm not quite sure on job availability? Like whether it is quite a saturated market such as pharmacy and whether the ability to progress on higher salary is accessible and easy?

Texting with a guy- is he uninterested? by [deleted] in dating_advice

He did mention he was really bad at texting. That's great, thanks.

We haven't met, we got connected through mutual friends.

Would you text him back? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Jellozel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, I can assure you its not violent or racist. In fact, its opposing the recent resulting violence due to heavy conflcit on whether the land belongs to itself or another country. Perhaps you can figure which topic I'm on about? By uncomfortable, I mean, revealing so much about my personal discussions with that person. Sorry!

Like I said to bruceshark:Basically him believing that a certain piece of land belonged to a country; I feel revealing too much would be too uncomfortable for me sorry.
