The UCAS personal statement is now structured around three key questions, helping students clearly demonstrate their suitability and motivation for their chosen course. One of these asks: “How have your qualifications and studies helped you to prepare for this course or subject?”
Knowing what universities are looking for, what experiences are worth discussing and how to reflect effectively on those experiences can make a significant difference when students begin preparing their application.
This is where attending a Free Virtual Get Into Conference can be particularly valuable for your students and their parents/guardians. During the conference, students will receive a detailed overview of the medical or dental application process, understand what is expected at each stage of their application and learn how they can begin preparing now.
They will also gain valuable insights from myself, Dr Scarlett and Dr Kennedy, alongside current medical and dental students, who will share their experiences of applying, studying at university and working within the NHS.
Please share this information to all students in years 10/S3/NI11 – 12/S5/NI13 and their parents who are curious about a career as a doctor/dentist:
