Would volunteering in South Africa make much of a difference to my UCAS application?
I've just started Y12, and I've found out that my college is running a sort of volunteer trip to South Africa this summer. I'd love to go on it, it's just that it costs £1800, which is obviously a heck of a lot of money. Sometimes I forget how lucky I am, and tbh I feel like I need something like this to open my eyes a bit - I don't just want to go as some kind of misguided attempt to buy my way into medical school Because it's so much and I've got 2 sisters, I'd have to raise at least £1000, possibly more, myself, by getting a job. As much as I'd like to do it, it's gotta be paid for by March, and I'd have to do a lot ...

I'm a 3rd-year at University of Queensland. Here are pros/cons of the program:
I'm a third-year at UQ and am one of the three Americans (40 total) in my cohort who's not in Ochsner (i.e. I'm doing the full degree in Australia). Cons: The teaching here during the first two years is not satisfactory. That's just my opinion. There are plenty who are content with the program, but I also think most people are just oblivious or myopic as it is. I expected a lot more hands-on anatomy/histology assessment during my first-year, and the program severely lacks that. The written assessment is also very minimal (equivalent to my undergrad university's physiology exams) such that many who pass still don't know ...

Advice for an Arts graduate beginner, if you'd be so kind :)
Hi everyone, I've been scouring these forums for about 6 months now, and I can't deal with the denial any more! I was hoping the desire to do medicine would fade, as the road seems so long and arduous. However, I really do think it's what I want to do, and it's time to make a plan - and your advice would be amazing :) I have an English degree (starred First, top 10 uni) and am going to do my Master's (with a full scholarship) at Oxford next year. I applied for this last September, whilst still in the denial stage! However, I do enjoy English still, it is fascinating and I'm not going to turn down the opportunity to go to...
