Zheqing

Hi, I’m Zheqing, a 5th year medical student at the University of Oxford. I am an international student from Singapore who received offers from the University of Oxford and Nanyang Technological University Singapore, as well as an interview offer from Imperial College London (which I declined) in the 2019/2020 application cycle. At A Levels, I studied Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and China Studies in Chinese, as well as Advanced Biology, General Paper and Project Work, achieving A (equivalent of A* in the UK) in all subjects, including 3 High Distinctions and 3 Distinctions. In medical school, I have consistently achieved Distinction in my examinations and was awarded college prizes and scholarships (Fitzgerald Prize and East Scholarship) for excellent academic performance in both my first and second years. In my third year, I ranked second and was awarded the prestigious Gibbs Prize and Wronker Grant for excellent performance in the Final Honour School of Medical Sciences, attaining a First Class Degree. Besides representing the Oxford University Badminton Club in national competitions, I have also been involved in various clubs and societies including Widening Participation Medics Network (WPMN), the Oxford Medical Students’ Society (MedSoc), Students for Global Health (SfGH) Oxford, and a college-run charity that brings children from disadvantaged families on holiday. My experience involves tutoring for several years, conducting interview workshops with STEP inTO OxMed and other voluntary tutoring positions, and I am passionate about widening participation in medicine. Helping aspiring medics get into medical school brings me immense joy and fulfillment.
