Hi guys, welcome back!
You always see headlines saying it's getting more and more difficult to get a place in medical school. I break down the numbers over the last decade to see if this is true.

Who am I? My name is Arun, I’m a junior doctor working in London and graduated from Cambridge University. I’ve helped 100s of students over the last 10 years or so get into med school with things like personal statements, picking uni choices, the UCAT & BMAT exams and medical school interviews. I was the lead UCAT & BMAT tutor for Kaplan Test Prep for 5 years and helped write their materials. I started up a company called Easy Medical Interviews to help students for their medical school interviews. I’ve decided to put all my experience over the years onto UA-cam now so its completely free for you guys and hopefully you find it useful!

I've been rejected from medical school three times now, it's really not easy given the competition. My UCAT score never seems to improve and I've sat it four times now 😬

So sorry to hear. Definitely not easy to get into medical school. Are you planning to sit the UCAT again this year, I can try help out if you would like :)

Son, kindly please shave and look clean, hygienic and presentable both at work and while you are doing videos. You have a handsome face. Why hide behind beard and moustache and look all hairy and a grizzly bear?
