What do you need to do to get into medical school?

Primarily you have to have a passion and love for helping people which needs to come across in your personal statement and in the interviews. In terms of volunteering, it’s good to show long term dedication to something; you must volunteer for 6 months. It’s also key you get relevant work experience to show that you have explored medicine and are making an informed decision about the degree.Following all of this, you need to do the most important thing - get the grades! Choosing the correct A levels is key, the majority of medical schools require chemistry and some require biology so make sure you research the schools you want to apply to. Aswell as all of this, you need to think about whether you want to take any of the national entrance exams, the UKCAT or the BMAT. These are two very different examinations and each medical school uses a different one so, again, it is important to research what the different medical schools require.
