Jessica

I am a patient, friendly and professional medical student at Imperial, just having finished second year.

I received two offers to study medicine from Imperial and Bristol, and was also interviewed at Birmingham university. This means that I have experience of both panel and multiple mini interviews (MMIs), and can therefore give worthwhile advice with regards to these. Having undergone interviews in the above three universities, I can also give more specific advise for each of those universities.
Most importantly however, I can advise prospective students on how to tackle writing the personal statement as this is key to getting a medical school interview.
Being a medical student I understand first hand the stress and difficulty in obtaining a university place, and therefore hope to help the tutee as much as possible to reduce this.

Academic Record
10A*s in my GCSEs
2A*s in Biology and Chemistry at A-level, 2As in Maths and Italian.
Achieved a Distinction Star during my first year at Imperial College Medical School and a Merit in my second year.
