[Elliott Sharp @elliottwsharp]

I found applying to the Foundation Programme difficult because there was no complete map of hospitals in the UK that F1/2 doctors can be placed in. So, I made my own and want to share it with everyone.

**Interviews**
Q: What is the MMI like?
A: Pretty tiring and scary. Either the stations will go well and you'll be on a role, or if a station goes not to plan, it's so hard not to be thrown off.

**Personal Statement**
Q: When should you start writing your personal statement?
A: Think about what you are going to write throughout Year 12. Make a list of things you've done, do any of things you want to add. Seriously start in the summer. I was editting to the last min!

Q: Do Universities rank applicants using their predicted grades?
A: It depends which university - i.e. Exeter categorise applicants into four tiers based on predicted grades. i.e. Tier 1: IB 42+/ 3A*s, Tier 2: 41+/ 2A*+1A, etc. and give out interviews working down each tier.

**Dissection or prossection?**
A: Edinburgh does prossection and I don't feel like I've missed out. However, my friend (at St. Andrews) felt it was one of the best parts of their course. Remember: all medical schools have to teach by the GMC guidelines (same standard)

**Choosing the right medical school**
Q: How do you choose the right medical school for you?
A: Do looads of research --> apply tactically --> pick between them (ask me and I'll put you in contact with someone at each medical school). More on this in the course (Sign up)

**Gap Yaahs**
Q: How do medical schools look at gap years?
A: Make sure you’ve done something really worthwhile. Used right, they show commitment to Medicine. I did one and worked most of the year in a GP practice! My one tip: throw yourself into cool opportunities

[Applying to Medicine UK @ApplyingU]

**Wider Reading**
Q: What wider reading should I do?
A: Do wider reading in something you enjoy and you can talk about passionately. For me, I'm not a big reader (I listen to Audible) - I spoke about my extended essay (I did the IB) and my Maths coursework.
