Its a good book but as with all books they become out of date so quickly.

My advice is save you money and go on one of the commitment to medicine courses run by www.futuredoctors.co.uk.

The tell you everything you need to know to prepare your UCAS application, your personal statement, how to excel at the medical school interview and they also run certificate courses giving you experience of medical clinical skills.

If any graduates or mature students are thinking about applying to Medical School, pleases take the time to read this.

So, I thought "i've good degrees, have worked with patients ...  Read the complete review

Having just secured a place at medical school (having unconventionally started an engineering degree first) I felt I had to pass on some of the little bits no-one told me before I applied, and I wished someone had! 1) It is far easier to swap from medicine to another degree than the other way round.
