advice to my future self if i dont get in this year

-Do the ukcat as early as possible!!
-Submit your application as early as possible
-Do the BMAT and GAMSAT tests so that you have more choices for unis
-Prepare for interview. Any activity that helps you communicate confidently will stand you in good stead at interview. Use BBC Health and NHS Choices to gen up on hot topics and how the NHS ticks, so that you are aware of the issues, even if you don't have answers to solve the problem. Check those sites for new headlines before each interview! Gen up on the 'Four principles' of ethics - a useful starting point if you are asked to give an opinion on an ethical dilemma. Look for podcasts from the BBC series 'Inside the Ethics Committee' for some insights into this aspect of medicine.
