An ex-pupil who is now in his third year (studying medicine) at Sheffield came into school to give advice this week.
His "top tips" were:
- to make sure you look around the cities surrounding the universities you apply to because even if you do like the university you must like the city as well because ultimately you're going to be spending 5 or more years of your life there! If you don't like the city then the university probably isn't for you.
- to research beyond the entry requirements for each university, for example which type of dissection do they offer and when does clinical work start? This is to ensure that you don't end up applying for a course which doesn't suit you.
- to practice for interviews as these are often as important as the other parts of the application process.
I found his advice very useful and I hope anyone reading this will too.
