Hi my name is Dami and I'm a fourth year medical student at King's College London. I'm a South Londoner speaking about my journey throughout medical school and also about some healthcare related topics which are important to me. I also teach multiple mini interviews (MMI) so you can probably expect to see some vids those too.
you have a really nice energy to you, i bet you’re an amazing doctor now this video has calmed me a lot, and i feel this experience differently, i’m literally in the exact same position now as i’ve just finished year 13, got a really low ucat last year and much to my surprise missed my a level grades by quite a bit can i ask how you got into the extended medical program? i was thinking of applying to foundation year courses with my achieved a level grades, but i’m fortunate enough to not really meet any of the eligibility criteria, so it’s looking like a retake which i’m fine with but it’s just long 🥲
you know that question you got asked about if you know who’s in charge of drugs etc. if you genuinely didn’t know and you told them that you didn’t know would it have been that deep??
Hey Dr Dami, I have a question. I am reapplying to med and am taking a gap year. Do I put in my ps that I am retaking an a level or will the universities know so I can save the space?
Just watched this entire video. What a fantastic use of my time, you are so inspirational. I had a similar situation. Also got 595 on ucat😂 and then rejected by all but one which I got an interview for but in the end didn’t get the offer because they looked at ucat after to eliminate people. I’m nervous for results day in a few days as hopefully I can at least get the grades and reapply next year. Will watch your other vids to see what you did!
Dr. Dami I want to apply to EMDP, I’ve attended non selective schools for secondary and sixth form in Birmingham. Does EMDP allow students from outside of London to apply?
This video is so timely & needed! Speaking as a final year student midwife and the incidents we see in black women are often things that can definitely be avoided!
You never make life decisions when you’re reeling from a loss, so weird how teachers always force us to go through clearing when we’re not in the right state of mind
hey sorry to bother you, but at the time you applied for medicine at kcl was the entry requirements a* aa or just aaa? this would help me a lot pleasee and you applied for medicine not extended medical degree programme right?
Lool I can't believe your teacher actually believed the 595/600 score on the UCAT 😂😂😂also what band did you get on the sjt? Do the emdp admissions team look at the sjt band? Thank you for this informative video!!!
😂😂😂 cmon! Erm I think I got band 1 but when I applied it was the first year they introduced it so it never counted, not too sure about how it is now tho
No worries bro, so in the past all kings did was eliminate the lowest 10% of people from the applicants. That’s all the UCAT was used for. I don’t know how they use the bands but I don’t reckon it’s strict, I’d say email and ask
