Harry

I am a medical student entering my second year at The Queens College Oxford. I achieved 4 A*s at A level in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. I have 10 A*s at GCSE.

I was in the top decile for my UCAT exam and achieved band 1 in the SJT. For the BMAT I scored 6.6 in section 1, 6 in section 2 and 3.5A in the essay. To contextualise these results I have included the following analysis of my cohort:
“In the 2021 BMAT, just over 30% of students scored between 5.0 and 6.0 in Section 1, with around 5% scoring higher than 6.0. In Section 2, around 25% of students scored between 5.0 and 6.0, with around 5% scoring higher than 6.0. In Section 3, around 40% of students got a 3 for quality of content and just over 20% scored higher than a 3. For quality of English, nearly 80% scored an A.”

Interviewing at Oxford, St Andrews and Kings College London, I will be able to draw on experiences with different interview styles. Over the past year I have also had lots of experience with the tutorial system at Oxford. This will be beneficial in helping others to prepare for interviews.

I have volunteered for four years in a youth club, spent time volunteering for a charity for the disabled during the pandemic as well as tutoring GCSE maths. I currently hold positions in 3 college societies as well as playing rugby for the university team. These roles have allowed me to develop excellent communication skills, as well as improving my organisational ability.
