MATTHEW

I’ve been fortunate enough to have lived in places including Mexico and Japan but am currently living in the UK and studying at Abingdon School in Oxford. I’ve firmed UCL for Medicine and insured Bristol.

I love getting involved in many activities, from participating in multiple sporting activities to hands on volunteering (which I would be glad to share about!)

My tip for any applicant would be to fully understand the intricacies and realities of a career in medicine. A career in medicine means a different lifestyle, harsh working hours and often comes without a lot of the glamour seen on TV. Get some work experience and talk to medical students or medical workers to get a sense of what it’ll be like before you commit and if you have chosen this path, fight as hard as you can for a space in the lecture hall.
