Robyn

Hello, My Name is Robyn and I’m a Graduate Entry Medicine student at the University of Nottingham. I interviewed at 4 different universities; Nottingham, St Georges, Swansea and Ulster, securing offers from all 4 of them. My First degree was in Genetics (BSc Hons) from the University of York Followed by a graduate diploma in law from BPP University.

Prior to my current Degree, I spent 5 years working in an FTSE 100 corporate environment completing Project management Qualifications and then Joining Deloitte to work as a Management Consultant. I have a wealth of interview experience in a variety of different settings having done both corporate and Academic interviews. I was also a member of the UK army reserves taking on the role of a Combat Medic, this has given me a clinical understanding and knowledge that has benefited me during my medical degree and that I would love to pass on to others.

I have a strong academic background in science having completed A levels in all the Sciences and an AS level in maths and then pursuing a degree in genetics. While completing my degree I competed in a Genetic engineering competition hosted by MIT and received a Bronze and a Gold medal in their respective years. most recently I sat GAMSAT and UCAT. GAMSAT is the graduate entry to medicine test and contains 3 sections, English, Essay writing and Science, the minimum cutoff for entry is 50 in each section and I scored 63, 63, and 68 respectively. The Science section contains Degree level Biology, Chemistry, Physics and maths and requires High-level data interpretation.

I have experience working with children with additional needs such as Autism, ADHD and Dyslexia and would be happy to work with/tutor anyone with additional needs.
