This may be counter-productive to my last post, but apparently going a little crazy during exams led to some of the best results I've had since starting uni. I averaged a really decent first in my June exams, securing the 2:1 grade I've been grasping hold of all year. Am I a little disappointed I didn't get a first this year? Perhaps, but I'm so happy with the grade I did get. Mostly because it's the grade medical schools require their applicants to get. It also takes the pressure off of next year. To get a 2:1 next year, I'd need a perfectly acheivable high 2:2. To get a first next year, I need to exceed the border for a first by about 1%. I'm feeling more optimistic now than I have for a while about my chances of getting into medicine, and with currently being in Spain, lifes looking pretty sweet ATM!
Te next steps are to book my trip to Thailand, working in an actual hospital will be phenominal! And to book and prepare for the UKCAT exam. It's frightening, and there's no guarantee that I'll get in, but I'm excited for the ride!
Wish me luck!
