Last year I got rejected but this year I made to med school in italy. I'm gonna start in 20 days; I'm actually so excited.
CONGRATULATIONS!! It’s so hard to dust your self off and get back to it but well done you 🥳🥳
@@DrFayeBate accepting rejection is really really hard, but it really changes you, because you realize that you are able to go through the whole process again (dealing with insecurities and failure) to fight for your dreams so that you grow and become a better version of yourself.
hey, avrei intenzione di entrare in una facoltà di medicina e se potessi rispondere a qualche domanda sarei molto grata:) Che scuola frequentavi prima e pensi che ti abbia aiutata nel superare il test di ammissione? Era tanto difficile? E come hai fatto a prepararti per tutto il necessario? Hai trovato tempestivamente gli argomenti da studiare e se si come? grazie mille
@@luajoaquim6124 ho frequentato il liceo classico e non mi ha aiutato per nulla a preparami. Il test quest'anno non era così difficile infatti ho fatto un punteggio abbastanza alto rispetto alla media. Mi sono preparata per due anni con un corso privato purtroppo l'anno scorso non l'ho passato, solo quest'anno sono riuscita ad entrare.
Hello!!!Congratulations for your entrance 👏🏻
Did you get in the English program or the Italian one?
I'm a Cardiology resident at the moment. But I had a somewhat similar experience! After grade 12 I decided I didn't want to go into medicine lol
Went into Chartered accountancy. Was acing it. Then after two years I realised I didn't like it! Reapplied to medical schools. But it was late in the session 😄
Then a new medical school opened and I applied and got accepted.
Was very apprehensive as I had forgotten much of biology and chemistry but joined anyway.
End result: graduated with second position in my uni and two gold medals (we get medals for distinctions in subjects).
And now on the way to my specialty in Cardiology 💛
Good luck Faye! :)
which university did you study at? :)
I'm a medical student over in America and I've been hooked on watching your videos the past few days. I wish you had a podcast because I really like your talking videos like this!
Aww thank you so much lovely!! Where are you studying in America? Aww maybe that’s something I should consider 👀 so funny you should say that because I’ve had criticism about my accent before 🤣 so thank you!!💖
I have a sit down talking vid on Sunday coming 🥳
@@DrFayeBate Thanks for your reply :) I'm studying at Indiana University in the midwest.
@@DrFayeBate podcasts would be amazing !
I know that you said you hated it because of the hours, but your time as a carer will make you a much better doctor than those who went through their training without that exposure. Learning how people manage their illnesses day-to-day away from a clinical environment, getting a realistic picture of the body's vulnerabilities and the ageing process, not to mention your enhanced communication skills and ability to work in partnership with patients. I'm sure you don't need me to tell you this, but many medical schools now have it as a pre-requisite that you have to have had some experience with in-need population group in either a voluntary or paid capacity, and it might be useful for other applicants to hear more about your experience in Africa and as a carer. It might also help you to process that awful time in your life a little more! Best of luck with the rest of your training. Much love from a nurse and soon-to-be medical student! xo
Hey! I’ve actually got a more detailed video coming out about my gap year tomorrow where I explain it more. I’m definitely really hard on care work because it’s tough and looking back, I think I had enough hands on care experience through volunteering in a centre for blind people during sixth form and a clinic in Zambia and in hindsight, I wish I’d enjoyed my last few months of freedom + focused on my resits. Med is stressful and I think I could’ve made better use of these months because I already had adequate care experience if that makes sense? But I completely agree. There’s nothing that has humbled me more than being a carer. Additionally, I was sexually harassed by 2 people I cared for several months and this definitely tainted my experience a lot which is why I can be really harsh on it as well.
That’s so exciting you’re starting med! Best of luck lovely. Being a nurse already you’ll be a step ahead of so many of you colleagues ❤️❤️
Your story is very refreshing. I got into med school right away but after 2nd year (we have 6 years in Slovenia) I just couldn't handle all the studying. So I took some years off - also worked as a carer in the UK in the meantime and now I'm back in 3rd year and I just love it so much more. I truly appreciate being able to learn all the new things, I understand myself more and can recognise what the problem is when I face them (eg. the way of learning particular subject, stress, lack of sleep...). So all in all I think it's all a process of learning how to deal with certain things in our life. Things happen for a reason - and I truly believe in that. 😊
Keep up the good work! 😍♥️
Thank you so Valentina for sharing your story and I completely agree with everything you’ve said. So so true!! Xxx
I cannot BELIEVE I’ve just stumbled across this video, I’ve just opened an email from my college saying they won’t let me come and redo the last 2 terms to get higher grades than the teacher predictions I was given in summer - and tbh I’m sobbing. I’m redoing all 3 of my A-levels again and now I need an A* as well bc I’m a retake student, working in a nursing home which is such a tough job, and missing all my friends who are at uni. THANK YOU for this video, hearing your enthusiasm and resilience has really made me feel better and even more determined to smash my way into med school🤍🤍
This is so similar to me so I can empathise with you 😢 you’ll get their in the end!!! Get your head down, you can do it lovely ❤️
How did it go, were you successful?
You’re actually ace at speaking
Nabs YA THINK ❤️❤️❤️
I’m so glad you touched on doing a level subjects you enjoy as long as you do the required subjects for your applications! Every teacher in my school told me it would be a huge mistake to take art a level on top of my required subjects (chem, bio and maths) because it would take too much time and result in lower grades but I did it anyway and I honestly believe if I hadn’t taken art, I wouldn’t have finished my a levels at all or done as well in them. And hey, it worked, I’m in my 3rd year of medicine now! If there’s an unrelated subject that you’re really passionate about, don’t be put off taking it, don’t deny yourself exploring that area and use it as a break from your ‘medicine’ subjects because it gets tough and that unrelated subject can give you the fuel to keep yourself going.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yes girl!! So glad you’ve shared your experience! it’s so important to always nourish our passions outside of medicine 💖💖
AND YA IN THIRD YEAR!! and no worse off for not doing maths 🤢🤢🤢
I’m a pre vet student and I’ve been rejected from my 3 top choices of vet schools so far. Your story really resonates with me and inspires me! Thanks for posting this. I have a vet school interview on Friday and watched this for inspiration/motivation! Love your vids
Aww Tifanie I’m so sorry to hear that but I can genuinely say rejection built me!! You got this ❤️💪🏼
How did it go?
@@adailyfact thanks for asking. I actually ended up getting in and started my second year of vet school last week :)
@@tiffmccarty thats so awesome
To anyone here who has been rejected and is sad about the fact they’ll have to apply again : Don’t worry, it could be worse, I promise. I’m French, and here we only have one single chance. If you fail ( which is easy because they take thousands of people in first year and there are only a couple hundred places to get into second year ) you literally cannot do medicine ever again in any uni in France. So please, be happy that you have a chance to apply again 😭
What kind of a system is that? You have no choice only a chance. How can anyone be in support of this current system of chance.
@@noelmakarth156 Nobody is in support. There is stuff happening in court right now because right now, there aren’t enough people with at least the minimum grade to get into second year
needed this ive been struggling with maths and need to secure the aaa
Aw girl! You can do it!! Maths is a bitch but my biggest tip (especially for maths) is practice practice practice!! Just do as many as you can you’ll smash it girl 🌟 Best if luck xxx
@@DrFayeBate thank you!!
Omg I see you everywhere
Adaora I’m a studytuber👍🏾💜
I’ve been watching your videos here and there and even though I don’t study med. I do still enjoy your videos, you show how college really is and I love knowing that I’m not the only one going through things good or bad. 💕
Awww love that, thanks for supporting my channel lovely and I’m glad ya enjoying my vids 🥰
omg i feel this so much!! also got rejected from everywhere but eventually got an offer on results day for the following year. ended up working as a carer too and totally feel you about being stuck in small town wales working a really hard job and watching all your friends travel and have fun in uni. but I ended up doing a ski season and loved it! so weird how everything happens for a reason and i definitely feel so much more ready now:)
Omg I so wanted to do a ski season but the dates didn’t line up with Zambia!! 100% everything happens for a reason and there is so much to learn from rejection ❤️
Applying for paramedic science this year and can't believe how competitive it is, been rejected from 3/5 unis and always come back to this video when i get another rejection. thanks faye u make me feel better xxx
Aww no! Sorry to hear that! Rejection is a bitch but it’s character building stuff. Best of luck with becoming a paramedic. A couple of my friends are paramedics and it seems like such a tough but rewarding career ❤️
@@DrFayeBate thank you 🥰❤️
Okay, I needed to hear this today...❤
You got this ❤️💪🏼
Could you do a video giving advice on med school interviews? Loved the video x
Absolutely! I’ll get my thinking cap on 💭❤️
Hello from Pennsylvania in the USA 🇺🇸. I studied at the University of Wales back in the 80s during summer term. I was in Aberystwyth. I loves Wales ❤️
Awww ye !! It really is beautiful isn’t it 🏴 🏴
Faye Bate Llawer o gariad oddi wrth Pennsylvania. 😊
Hey, congrats on getting into med school! I'm about to start Science here in Australia and the feelings of disappointment and a tad bit of jealousy of my friends who are instead going to be starting Medical school have actually resurfaced again. Your video gives me a lot of hope and think of my failure to get in the first time as an even bigger driver to try really hard this year to get in.
Hey! Aww I’m so sorry to hear that but if it makes you feel better, some of the people I know in my year who were also rejected are going to make incredible doctors. It’s more common than you think to have set backs but not everyone is comfortable talking about it. Best of luck with your application, you got this ❤️
Thank you for being so real in this video! Loved the video 💙💜
Semio thanks gal!! ❤️☺️
Have received one rejection post interview and one rejection without interview this application cycle for graduate entry medicine. Still waiting for the outcome of two interviews and struggling to stay positive. This has really helped, especially reinforcing that everything happens for a reason. Love your videos, such an inspirational gal, thank you Faye x
I'm from Zambia!! So happy to hear you've travelled here before 🤗🤗🤗
It’s such a beautiful country!!! I really hope I get to go back one day ❤️❤️
Came across my recommendation and I loved how raw it is loved this and helped a lot!!
I’m Zambian by nationality ❤️. I’m also a medical student in Russia. Last year I traveled home and met Uk med students doing voluntary work and some doing electives.. we had so much fun together.. I’m glued to your channel xoxo 😘
Aww thank you so much lovely!! Best of luck with your studies ❤️ aww you’re so lucky, Zambia is such a beautiful country 🇿🇲
I have been watching your videos the last couple of months, and this video has made me have so much more respect for you as a person! I love seeing your work epic and watching you but this is honestly so inspiring
i got rejected twice but i am trying again for this year and i sure i will make it happen; but i am so nervous this time; i love ur channel.keep motivating.
You can do this!! Best of luck with it ❤️❤️
Hello! I was wondering if you had an update? Did you manage to get in this time?
Amazing video! Mad that you got into med, you definitely deserve it!
Devify aw thank you!! Fair to say I’m grateful for my place now 🤣
Aw i go to Keele but i study Midwifery !
Kudos to you for persevering with everything , id love to hear more about your experience as a carer. I did a few shifts for an agency and have done bank on the hospital as a healthcare assistant and its not as pretty and glamorous as people expect. Huge respect for our nurses and HCA's who do holistic and personal care day in day out.
I got an offer to study medicine at Keele😊 .Please can you tell me what studying at Keele is and the best accomodation in Keele university 😁.
this is so inspiring, I relate with the external factors thing. I was in an unhealthy relationship, but the responsibility really is on me. I also didn't apply to uni in year 13 and thought I'd apply the following year. My teachers have been really horrible to me regarding my mental health too, name calling etc 😭 my friends have gone to uni and I feel so hopeless, I can't do this
Hi!! I’m a first year medical student from Poland and omg? I also didn’t get in right after high school and had to resit my exams and decided to study French and English at uni during my gap year. I eventually dropped out before the second term had even started to focus on my biology and chemistry exams. But!! It was hands down one of the worst times in my life. I don’t think people are aware of how terrible gap year like that can be. My mental health was shit at the time. Not sure it’s better now since we’re in a pandemic 😓 but at least I don’t have to worry about my what if I never get in thoughts 😖 sending you lots of love and good luck with everything!
Oh no I’m so sorry to hear that but happy you got your place at med school!! Look after yaself l❤️
Love your videos especially the medicine-related ones. Knowing what to wear to placement can be confusing so thanks! What camera and lens do you use? Your videos are crystal clear xx
Hey lovely! Aww I’m glad they’re helpful ☺️ If you have any other vids you’d like to see let me know!! And I literally just used my iPhone XS Max and a ring light! 💖
Absolutely love this!! Hopefully my video will be near this standard, it was so great to hear someone else who had a bit of a rocky road to medicine like me :)
Thank you lovely! Glad you’re sharing yoru story to, leg me know when you post I’ll check it out ❤️
In my country we have to sit for a national level exam in order to get into med school. The seats are limited but about 1,600,000 sit for the exam every year. When I sat for the first time I was having the worst time in terms of mental health and hence didn't do well. The next year I sat for it again and I also sat for a similar exam for engineering this time. Made it into the engineering school in the branch of mechanical engineering but didn't do well in the exam for med school. Some kind of anxiety developed relating to that exam , decided to go with engineering. Now that I am in a better place mentally, the thought of sitting for the exam again is just stuck there in my head but the same time the thought that since I am 20 now, is it late now, keeps coming up. But I hope I find courage like you and try atleast once again as I am very passionate about medicine and also here doing engineering something just doesn't feel right for me. Let's hope for the best 🤞
Go for it! I hope you did well 🤞
I’m in year 11 and I have no idea which A levels to pick I have this fear inside me that I won’t get picked for medical school But I have this immense passion for science 😭
The fear of not getting in is the worst!! It used to make me so so anxious. But trust me, if you want it enough you can make it happen! There are people on my course who’ve done foundation degrees, undergrad, post grad, multiple gap years + several application cycles. If there’s a will, there’s a way ☺️ Especially if you know you’re passionate about science 🧬
In terms of what to take, ideally take bio and chem and a third option you enjoy (that is isnt general studies) then you cover the requirements for all med schools in the uk!
Best of luck, I’m sure you’ll do well. Having a passion for something makes the revision way less draining and the road to success so much easier ⭐️
Faye Bate Omg I didn’t think you were going to reply but thank you for this advice I feel much better now Did you struggle with chemistry GCSE ?
Ali A aww I’m glad you feel better!! Chemistry is a tough one, is that you struggle with most??
Faye Bate Yes I sit in my lessons trying to understand it It’s when the maths part kicks in I’m like 😬 My teacher isn’t helpful either during this quarantine
Ali A aww no!! It’s so crap when you’re really struggling with something. If you aren’t quite grasping it and you feel like your teacher isn’t helping, my best advice is to try find some RUclips videos explaining what you’re struggling with and going through some practice q’s! That’s what really helped me ☺️
I love your story and I love that you didn’t give up. This is amazing, congratulations on making it in the end, this is definitely a look at God moment. ✨👏🏽💕
Thank you so much!!! And I could not agree more, everything happens for a reason ❤️❤️
Literally in the exact same position as you this year! I am working as a carer and repeating my Biology ALevel...really not having the best time but watching this makes me feel much better for the future :)
PUSH THROUGH GAL! You’ve got this ❤️❤️
Rejected for 6 years💔💔 hopefully will get in..because the dream is burning inside me
This helped me so much thank you !! 💕
Masuma Hussain aww I’m glad 🥰 If you want to know anything else/just have a chat let me know x
This so encouraging
🥰🥰
This has given me so much confidence, I’m in year 11 and I can’t wait to go to medical school and travelling is something I really want to do too so volunteer work in another country would be amazing, you’re now my favourite RUclipsr after Free Science Lessons 😂
Aww I’m glad Ellie!! Best of luck with your GCSEs and medical school application, you got this queen!❤️❤️
YOU GOT THIS! DON'T GIVE UP!
Hey Faye.I am so happy for you Well done. I have a BSc in Physiotherapy and I am aiming to apply for the Graduate Entry for Sheffield.Medical School....
They require 7/10 but I have a 6.9/10....
such a shame 😔
Hey lovely! Aww no 😢 have you considered undergrad entry? I know it’s an extra year and more expensive but it’s worth considering if you can because from what I understand, it’s not as competitive as grad entry. Best of luck and remember where there’s a will there’s a way 💖
That’s an insane journey into medicine I’m so inspired by your story. I’m a year 13 student and I’ve gotten my predictions back and they aren’t good enough but the deadlines are on the 15 of October. Where do I go from here as like you I’m extremely passionate about getting into med school. Do you have any advice?
Aww man that’s such a nightmare when predictions are off 😭 I would sit your exams, get the 3 A’s and then take a gap year! There’s so much you can do in a gap year and in the grand scheme of things and extra year won’t make that much of a difference, you’re gonna be there for 5 years anyway 🤣💖
Faye Bate that’s so true thank you for your advice! I will definitely do that :)
You’re welcome! If you ever have any questions about gap years just let me know 🥰
at what age you started medschool?@@DrFayeBate
You're really motivating me to apply...for med sch cause I really want to do medicine 😩♥️
It's really interesting that you say you wish you'd dropped maths instead of history. I had a similar experience - I dropped history and took english instead because I thought it would look better on my application - I ended up getting a C in english (lol) and I'm pretty certain I would have got an A in history if I'd kept going with that. At the time I was looking at unis that required chemistry plus one from biology/maths/english etc whereas I actually ended up going to Glasgow which didn't really care what you did as long as you enjoyed it and got a good grade. It all worked out in the end though - once you graduate no one asks you what grades you got at school!
Thank you for this video!!!
Rahima you’re welcome 💖💖💖💖
I’ve got a place at Nottingham and I’ve also just found your channel! It’s making me so excited to go in September :)
CONGRATULATIONS!! Aww that’s incredible ❤️
@@DrFayeBate thank you! :)
Can you go to med school doing geography, biology and chemistry? And do you know anyone who has ? xx
hiya, I do chemistry maths and geography and currently in the process of getting into medicine. I’ve got multiple interviews and have been rejected from one medical school because my UCAS score not my a levels. So my answer would be yes!
@@lucs689 ok thank you
Yes yes you’re completely right! These a levels are fine 🥰🥰
@@lucs689 have you heard back yet? Which unis?
You inspire me hopefully I’m going to get into med school I’m very scared tho. ❤️
So helpful! Thank you!
You’re welcome! If you have anymore q’s just give me a message xxx
Did you get 3 As when you re-sat your A levels? Congratulations btw, I know you’ve been at med school for a while by now but it’s still an incredible achievement!!
Ye I did luckily! Thank you Julie, took my time getting there but we made it in the end 🤣❤️
I love you so much you helped me a lot!!
Aww I’m glad 🥰🥰🥰
Majority of universities, don't accept resist nowadays. When did you apply and get into medicine ?
Hey! I applied to start in September 2018 ☺️ Even when I applied, hardly any excepted resits but there were a few and some that excepted resits if you could provide extenuating circumstances.
Your jumper is lovely!
Thanks! It’s from SHEIN ☺️
I am studying Bio, chem, phys, and maths and got 2 Bs and 2 Cs (bio and physics but i'm dropping physics) for AS (actual grades)
Don't ask me what happened... Icl I expected even worse despite knowing how low the grade boundaries would be. I didn't put my 100% into my studies... I was so tired and felt like to gave up before few weeks of the exam (stress from school, and then personal problems at home too) but yeah I take full responsibility for that and also my UAT told me I can't apply to medicine since it wouldn't be a competitive application (not to mention i got a shit UCAT too.. idk if i even should attempt BMAT atp)
I am so lost on what to do but I know on what to focus on which is to get my As for A levels but right now at this moment I am so lost and scared to go back to school tomorrow knowing how incredible my friends did and everything and how I am going to feel about myself and stress about the whole thing and make decisions which I am prob going to regret a lot later on...
I understand you so much my friends are averaging 80s and 90s whilst I'm not. It's so damn discouraging but I am trying to do well this semester. It's so hard when even your own school tells you to give up and do something else :(
How’s it going now?
We want more medical related videos for sureeeee💗💗
Your wish is my command 🥳🥳
This is such a good video for me personally. I've just gotten another rejection but watching this helps to change my perspective on the whole situation. I was laughing so much when you talked about being a carer cause I had the exact same experience lmao. Definitely some good lessons to hear, cause I am slightly distracted about my a-levels right now but I'll definitely try much harder to ace them. Do you know any places I could look to find opportunities for gap years? (If it comes to me reapplying)
not me watching this cause i got rejected from med school and into biochem in Zambia and you talking about Zambia
Aww no!! Rejections tough but as one door closes, 2 open ❤️
Hey I really think you are amazing , such a beautiful soul.can you give advice for people that really want to do medicine but don’t have the best GCSEs for science and don’t do alevel science such as chemistry and biology .Thank you
Hey! You should apply for Medicine foundation year ☺️ Here’s a link with more info about this: www.themedicportal.com/application-guide/choosing-a-medical-school/foundation-courses/ they are for people who didn’t do science a levels ❤️
Faye Bate thank you so much 🥺🥺xx
Love your videos ❤️❤️ but I just want to ask when ur applied for medical biochemistry at Leicester, did you write a separate personal statement or did you just your medicine one?
Miran Wais thank you 🥰 you only get 1 personal statement so mine was completely medicine focused. A lot of the applicants for medical sciences will be medicine applicants who are using that as their 5th option so admissions expect it. Don’t wast valuable lines on your personal statement talking about your 5th option 💖
Faye Bate okay thank you 😊😊
Miran Wais 💖💖
Faye you're so pretty...I am an african i'm in Ghana i couldn't get into medical school for my first degree so i'm doing Medical Laboratory Technology but i still want to pursue Medicine
Aww thank you so so much!! I’m sorry to hear that, are there graduate programs you could apply to??😊
@@DrFayeBate yes please
I’m applying through postgraduate as I didn’t get the grades. I’m doing veterinary nursing and from that I’m going to do medicine. I did adult nursing before but hated it due to mentors and the university I was at
Best or luck with your journey lovely!!❤️❤️
Thank you so much! I believe I can do it!
I really agree with you. I wish I also dropped a level maths!
A level maths was so hard 😭😭
I’m in year 12 going into 13 and I will be dropping math, I was kinda skeptical about it but now I’m glad I’ll be dropping it. 😅
you're amazing xx
Thank you!❤️🥲
I LOVE YOUUUUU XOXOXOX
ILY ILY ILY
Thank you for this video, it's really helpful! Could you expand a little on why you didn't think it was beneficial to become a carer? I was considering doing this to support my application but would like to hear your views. Thanks!
C Eleanor glad you enjoyed! I kind of mention this in my recent Q&a video because I forgot to mention it in this video. The company I worked for weren’t great (I would do 15hour shifts and get paid for 8/9hours). I think care work is humbling and really has really benefited my interpersonal skills. I do think it gives you a lot to talk about on your personal statement and interview. The main thing is to find a company that treats its employees well, have a look online or speak to someone else who’s worked for the company. Hope that helps!! Feels like I am harsh about care work in this vid when actually I did learn a lot. It just wasn’t an ideal job because I was resitting my exams and 15hour days + resits were hard xx
Hope that helps!! I’m here if you have any more q’s as well xx
@@DrFayeBate Thanks Faye! That's really helpful, I will check out your recent Q&A video for sure. It definitely sounds like the skills are worthwhile but care work can be detrimental because of the effect it could have on your studies. This is definitely something to keep in mind! Thanks again for your videos xxx
C Eleanor that’s exactly what I mean ye ☺️ If you have a job at the moment you enjoy and it can be used to demonstrate the necessary skills, then that works for applications too. Thanks gal! Glad you enjoy my vids ❤️
Just got rejected after interview I’m here to cope :))))))))
Aww no 😢 can genuinely say rejection taught me so much and you’ll be stronger because of it!! Best of luck with getting there xx
@@DrFayeBate thank you so much! Xx
How are you now @@anyawilliams3375
do you think its more important to get your grades than do all work experience and all the extras you need for your med application
cuz i need to prioritse and then decide whether to take a gap year to do all the other fluff
100% get your grades!!! I put way more effort into volunteering, extra-curricular honestly because I enjoyed it but it was a MASSIVE mistake because med school won’t even look at all the other stuff unless you get the grades. If you think you’re going to struggle, just focus on volunteering and work experience during summer when you won’t school work ❤️
@@DrFayeBate ahh im scared im going to my that mistake because same here that's the fun bit. Scared I'll have everything up my sleeve except for the gradess
fathimah I can relate to this so much 😂😂 honestly get your head down and just smash the revision for 2 months and you’ll be able to pull through I promise! You got this!!
OMG you've been to zambia, well i'm going through hell at the university of zambia i got accepted into my first year and then i made it to my second year without any difficulty so now i have made it into my third year but despite meeting the requirements of getting into the third year med class the dean said i can't get in because there isn't any space left in the class and that i should continue my studies doing another science degree and then use my science degree to reapply for medicine . i have been so depressed over the passed few days i never thought i could work hard , meet the requirements and still get rejected.
hello!!! if u don’t mind me asking...i was wondering what GPA and MCAT score u got. i just wanted to know cuz i want to know where i need to aim w my scores in university. Thank u!!
Hey lovely! I didnt have a GPA or take the MCAT, I think those are the tests for US medical schools whereas I went to a UK medics school ❤️
Amazing ! Keep at it girl! Question ! What medical school did you get into haha x
Thank you 🥰 Anglia Ruskin!
Hey Faye. This is not related but I really like your jumper. Do you by any chance remember where you got it from?
It’s from Shein!! ❤️
@@DrFayeBate Thank you
On your personal statement, do you just mention what you're planning on doing in your gap year?
Hey! Yes I did 😁
what would you think the best thing to do as i plan on taking a gap year but i can really defer as medical schools dont allow it so like how should i get my reference

Hi Faye I love this video so helpful just wondering why did u get rejected from all medical schools in Jan? Was it because of Personal statement or low entrant exam scores or did u apply not very strategically? Just want to know so to have a good chance of getting an offer on my gap year in such a competitive year xx
I would say not applying strategical and my A level grades! Best of luck with your med school journey Sonika ❤️❤️
I was rejected 4 times and now im applying for the 5th time...
Sorry to hear that but best of luck!!
@@DrFayeBate thank u so much ❤
You are very charismatic 👌
Thank you!!☺️
Which medical school accepted you and do you remember your ucat score x
Hey Faye…Sending love from Nigeria
Please what pre med course did you study 😊
I want to do biology psychology and I don’t know what to do for my third a level but I don’t know if I can do chemistry do you need it ?
I would do Chemistry because for most med schools in the UK you need it and it will give you the most choice!! Double check the web pages of the unis your interested in applying too ❤️❤️
Was your volunteering in Zambia in Livingstone with African Impact? Because I think we did the same program!
Aww I was actually in Kabwe with Restless Development!! Hope you enjoyed your time in Zambia 🇿🇲 ❤️
When she said bad grades I thought she was gonna say c and worse .... cause that what I got in my second year of a2 compared to as which I did better in and don’t get me started on my gcse those were all b and c - is there any point me apply for med school I study psychology at uni and graduated with a 2:1
same I was expecting c
but i thought most unis don’t accept re sits ?? because i don’t think i’m going to get AAA which makes me so ssd
oh my god is she Faye's sister ? xd
I have a question why didn’t you chose to study biomedical science and then apply to med school after that? I mean biomedical science as your undergraduate degree
I mean is it harder to get to med school after biomedical science?
you rejected 4 times u mean you didnt pass a subject in an exam month?or that you literally got you 4 years to get in med school?thanks for your videos, you are really helping me
It was 4 different medical schools within one year 😁❤️
What did you get in the UCAT??
I'm a bit confused, did you go on to do the biochemistry degree at that university and use your degree grades to get into medicine or did you use your Alevels grades? Also what did you get on your resits (if it's okay to ask)?
Hey! I re-sat and used my a level grades (AAA), hope that helps!💗
@@DrFayeBate Yeah thanks for explaining 🥰
when did you have to do ucat again if you take a gap year
I actually didn’t apply in year 13 so I only did my UCAT once but yes, you need to do your UCAT every year you apply unless the university tell you otherwise (e.g. because we of corona some students have been told they can use their UCAT score from last year I believe)
@@DrFayeBate ok thanks x
What was the new university you applied to please?
Sorry what was your volunteering organisation called again?
Restless Development
Wait so u got ABB within 3 years?
Is 22 too late join med school
No. Never too late
I have no idea what sixth form or A-levels are since I’m from the US, but the UK education system seems to revolve heavily around exams 😩 if it’s before college (university) then that makes sense as we have similar concepts, i.e. the SAT/PSAT/ACT, but in the UK it seems to be too much!
Ye a levels/sixth form are before college and we sit them at the end of school ❤️ I find comparing the systems so interesting!
Hi we have same name. I am medicine student it is my first year. My English is not good. Just i wanna say in turkey, universities have a lot student from the other countries. We have international medicine faculties in some universities. You can look that universities. :)
@@zeynepunsal934 Hi! That's awesome. I'm not interested in studying medicine but I visited Turkey before.
@@Msdufr Really. Which City did you visit? Do you like turkey? I havent been in us but i want go us.maybe for doing internship and having good English :))
@@zeynepunsal934 I was in Istanbul. I loved it 😍 personally I wouldn’t suggest coming to the US long-term but it’s your decision. There are many English-speaking countries you might prefer over the US. We have a lot to recover from as a country at the moment!
I gave up on the idea of medicine because of mediocre GCSE and A-Level (Covid predicted ) grades currently on the public health course at ARU but flirting with the idea of medicine again. Any thoughts on the med science or biomed courses at ARU?
I don’t know anyone on the biomed course but I know someone who transferred from bio med to med after a year! ❤️
so which med school are u in?
love it and love you xx
Hannah Hornsby 😭 love you more 🥰❤️
What is the new university please ? Is it in the U.K.?
It’s called Anglia Ruskin and yes it is in the UK ☺️❤️
In Canada, in order to apply to med school you have to have an undergraduate degree. Is it the same in the UK?
No so we just do 1 5hr medicine degree :))
Sorry 5yr not 5hrs😂😂😂
@@asharaja2842 Okay, cool! I have alot of family in the UK but still get confused by the differences in education levels!
It confuses me too!! But I find the differences so interesting xx
