Hey!

First off, congrats on your (expected) results.
Now, if you want to increase your chances of getting into med school DEFINITELY start preparing now.
When it comes to applying for Med School the most important thing to get an interview will be your Personal Statement. Most people that apply for Med School have the same grades (or thereabout) so the thing that distinguishes you from all the others will be your Personal Statement.

You said you were thinking about doing DoE and that is a brilliant idea. They tend to like things like that as it shows ability to work in teams and such. Also, make sure you do have some extracurricular activities. These can be anything; sports, acting, music, hobbies, etc. These are seen as important as the schools see you as needing extracurricular activities to help alleviate the stresses of studying and the job.
Shadowing is a good idea and for that you should write to your local hospital or GPs surgery. also look for some hospitals that have work shadowing programmes set up already; I have included a link to one in the sources section. Remember though that it's not all about shadowing. A good idea would be to try and find some volunteering jobs as they are good learning experiences and look good on your PS.
However when it comes to writing your PS the crucial thing is not to merely list what you're done; you must say what you've LEARNED from those experiences. Nothing too long, just stuff like "leadership" and "working in a team".

Personality and Comm Skills are more important for your Interviews. Some key points for interviews are:
a) Know your PS inside and out! - They will most likely have your PS in front of them and ask you about it. You need to know everything about your PS and be able to elaborate on anything they ask about
b) Be able to answer the standard "Why medicine/Why here/Why not nursing?" questions fully - If you don't have answers to why you want to be a Doctor or why you want to go to that particular university then you'll be sunk.
c) Be yourself! - This is crucial. The amount of people who go in trying to change their personality is astonishing, and they most often fail. If you don't get too nervous or uptight and just relax be yourself your interview will go a LOT better! Just smile and don't be afraid to make small talk with them, they're human beings too. Don't make stuff up either; they'll twig you as soon as you say it and that will only reduce your chances.

Good luck with your exams and Med School applications. It's hard work to get in but it's worth it in the end!

Behind the Scenes with Duke and the Doctor

Do you think Nifong and Meehan, the forensic doctor, are the real criminals in the Duke case?


Definitely. That case shows the worst of politics and the attempts for racial equality.

The rush to judgment in order for Nifong to get re-elected is staggering.

Many articles by bloggers and others have pointed out the errors and illegal maneuvers during this case. Source is one in the middle of a long series of articles about the case:

    Yes, you do not enter this program until you've completed a bachelor's degree, met the prerequisite requirements and have been accepted into the program.

    Yes, you can do your undergraduate major at Duke.

    I'd recommend talking to a counselor at Duke. They may have "feeder" majors into that program that allows you to take the required courses without having to take a lot of extra classes. This might include "health care sciences", kinesiology, exercise science, exercise physiology, etc.
