Applying to medical school is a demanding and often isolating experience. For Twisha, the stress of preparing her personal statement, mastering the UCAT, and acing interviews made the process feel overwhelming. However, what truly transformed her experience was discovering Medic Mentor—a community that provided not just tools and resources but also a network of support and encouragement.

Through Medic Mentor’s Ultimate Medical Application Platinum Pathway, Twisha found everything she needed to succeed. But it was more than just a programme; it became a foundation for building confidence, connections, and life-changing friendships.

“It’s so much more than just 5 days of medical bootcamp,” Twisha shares. “You’ll receive personalised support throughout the entire medical application process, something that no other organisation I’ve heard of really does. The very first friends I met through Medic Mentor were during Summer School, and we ended up going to the same university and are still really close friends right now—and are even moving in together next year!”

“I Couldn’t Have Done It Alone”

For Twisha, Medic Mentor quickly became an essential part of her medical school application process. From personal statement guidance to UCAT tutoring and interview preparation, the Platinum Pathway offered exactly what she needed at every stage.

“Ever since I decided I was serious about pursuing a career in medicine, Medic Mentor have helped me build the perfect application every step along the way,” she says. “From Summer School, personal statements, top UCAT tutoring, to interview prep—I genuinely couldn’t have done it without them. Without all the thousands of practice runs and one-to-one advice sessions from mentors, I don’t know how I would’ve made it.”

Here’s a closer look at how the Platinum Pathway shaped Twisha’s medical school application experience.

Summer School – A Crucial Starting Point

The 5-Day Summer School offered by Medic Mentor gave Twisha the tools to kick off her application process with confidence. She learned how to craft a standout personal statement, practice interview techniques, and present her story effectively. Beyond the hands-on learning, Summer School also introduced her to peers who would become her closest friends across this challenging yet rewarding journey.

“The very first friends I met through Medic Mentor were during Summer School,” Twisha explains. “We’ve stayed close, and they’ve been such an important part of my life. Now, we’re not just friends—we’re planning to move in together next year!”

UCAT Mentoring – Uniting Study and Support

Studying for the UCAT was one of the toughest aspects of Twisha’s preparation. The pressure of self-study left her feeling burnt out and overwhelmed. Joining Medic Mentor’s UCAT Mentoring Programme changed everything.

“I felt so depressed, alone, and stressed, studying in my room all day,” she says. “The UCAT mentoring programme was a game changer. It made such a difference when you get to study in study groups with other people and get one-to-one support from the best, highly trained mentors.”

The structured daily sessions, tailored question banks, and team environment helped Twisha practice and improve while feeling supported throughout the process.

Interview Preparation – A Path to Confidence

Medical school interviews can feel intimidating, but Twisha felt ready thanks to Medic Mentor’s interview preparation. With mock interview days, personalised mentoring, and endless practice opportunities, she transformed her nerves into self-assurance.

“The one-to-one advice sessions from mentors were incredible,” she recalls. “They gave me so much confidence and helped me prepare in a way I never could have achieved on my own.”

This preparation helped her not only anticipate common questions but also feel comfortable presenting herself authentically during the interviews.

Building Friendships That Last

While the skills Twisha gained were invaluable, it’s the friendships she formed that became her most cherished takeaway. Through Medic Mentor, she was surrounded by aspiring doctors who shared her goals and understood her struggles.

“The very first friends I met during Summer School and through Medic Mentor have stayed with me through everything,” Twisha says. “We’ve supported each other every step of the way, and it’s made a world of difference.”
