With just one month left before the deadline for medicine entries on UCAS this is really the utmost feedback one can receive to help with the dreaded personal statement! God bless everyone XOXO

Ali I love your content and it would be even better if the blue writing between clips stayed on a little longer. And also if you converted the part where you spoke about what the next couple clips will be into just the blue writing because it’s more useful that way ^^

Hello!! I just watched your video and I loved it!!! It was very helpful. This might be really weird but I'd like to know if you could check my personal statement and give your opinion on it please

I thought the last two tips were really helpful. Recently, I've been getting very conflicting advice about my work experience. Some medics are suggesting that the paragraph should not be so passive as I'm talking about other people's skills. However, I'm still 17 so I wasn't allowed to do anything on my work experience; I only observed and shadowed. I tried to make it less passive by discussing how I interacted with a patient but then they said the paragraph says nothing about my skills??
