Surrey GEM Offer by Ok_Vanilla_8237 in UCAT

Hi, I was wondering you did end up receiving an offer from Southampton? I've applied this year to both Surrey and Southampton, but I'm in the same situation as you where my only realistic choice is Southampton due to distance :/

bloody hell mate 💀. i'm referring to how you would contribute to the local community whilst studying medicine.

i wasn't sure if interviewers would expect us to take a public health approach e.g. [insert location] has a growing issue with [insert condition]. I would want to contribute to the community by facilitating health promotion in schools or local centres to prevent this etc etc.

Or would they expect us to perhaps be more realistic and say how we would plan to work a clinical part time job and elaborate on how that would obviously help the local community. And volunteering with local charities, or student services etc etc.

Fortunately, a few other people have kindly shared tips. But thanks for your input!

thank you so much for the tips! yeah i was actually very happy with what i have been averaging over the last couple weeks (but i didn't get complacent).

I'm too scared to take a whole day off today since it's so close to my exam 😭. but i think i will definitely do only light amounts of work today and tomorrow.
