Imperial Medical Student AMA

[fruitshoot12]

Hello there! So I am currently going into my 3rd year studying medicine at Imperial, and I thought someone might find it useful if a real, current student was there to answer any questions (I know when I was in year 13 applying I would've loved having someone there to answer my questions).

Feel free to ask questions about; Imperial medicine, Imperial in general, London medicine, London university/life in general, my personal application experience, tips and tricks for applying to medicine or anything else!

DD is doing a premed taster day at Imperial next weekend. She won't want to study in London, but a few tips on how to get through the interviews (if she is lucky enough to be invited for them) would be helpful.

My DD has always wanted to do Medicine, and has already done some volunteering and work experience. She has just had her GCSE results and has A*s, As and Level 7s, but has a level 5 (C) in Eng Lang. All the courses we have looked at ask for a minimum grade B, and we will be getting her GCSE remarked. However, if it remains a C, apparently medical schools do not accept resits, so I don't think this would be an option.

If you weren't doing Medicine, which course would you have done instead?
