Rejected 4 Times: My Journey to FINALLLY Getting Accepted into to Medical School

Heya, I got A*AB. I’m planning on resitting next year. Do I resit this year or next after resitting my exams?

Thank u for coming visited Thailand

I am studying Bio, chem, phys, and maths and got 2 Bs and 2 Cs (bio and physics but i'm dropping physics) for AS (actual grades)
Don't ask me what happened... Icl I expected even worse despite knowing how low the grade boundaries would be. I didn't put my 100% into my studies... I was so tired and felt like to gave up before few weeks of the exam (stress from school, and then personal problems at home too) but yeah I take full responsibility for that and also my UAT told me I can't apply to medicine since it wouldn't be a competitive application (not to mention i got a shit UCAT too.. idk if i even should attempt BMAT atp)

I am so lost on what to do but I know on what to focus on which is to get my As for A levels but right now at this moment I am so lost and scared to go back to school tomorrow knowing how incredible my friends did and everything and how I am going to feel about myself and stress about the whole thing and make decisions which I am prob going to regret a lot later on...

You're really motivating me to apply...for med sch cause I really want to do medicine 😩♥️

Did you just say Zambia 🇿🇲👋😩🤭🤔🤣

What was the new university you applied to please?

OMG you've been to zambia, well i'm going through hell at the university of zambia i got accepted into my first year and then i made it to my second year without any difficulty so now i have made it into my third year but despite meeting the requirements of getting into the third year med class the dean said i can't get in because there isn't any space left in the class and that i should continue my studies doing another science degree and then use my science degree to reapply for medicine . i have been so depressed over the passed few days i never thought i could work hard , meet the requirements and still get rejected.

In my country we have to sit for a national level exam in order to get into med school. The seats are limited but about 1,600,000 sit for the exam every year. When I sat for the first time I was having the worst time in terms of mental health and hence didn't do well. The next year I sat for it again and I also sat for a similar exam for engineering this time. Made it into the engineering school in the branch of mechanical engineering but didn't do well in the exam for med school. Some kind of anxiety developed relating to that exam , decided to go with engineering. Now that I am in a better place mentally, the thought of sitting for the exam again is just stuck there in my head but the same time the thought that since I am 20 now, is it late now, keeps coming up. But I hope I find courage like you and try atleast once again as I am very passionate about medicine and also here doing engineering something just doesn't feel right for me. Let's hope for the best 🤞

This is such a good video for me personally. I've just gotten another rejection but watching this helps to change my perspective on the whole situation. I was laughing so much when you talked about being a carer cause I had the exact same experience lmao. Definitely some good lessons to hear, cause I am slightly distracted about my a-levels right now but I'll definitely try much harder to ace them. Do you know any places I could look to find opportunities for gap years? (If it comes to me reapplying)

I was rejected 4 times and now im applying for the 5th time...

this is so inspiring, I relate with the external factors thing. I was in an unhealthy relationship, but the responsibility really is on me. I also didn't apply to uni in year 13 and thought I'd apply the following year. My teachers have been really horrible to me regarding my mental health too, name calling etc 😭 my friends have gone to uni and I feel so hopeless, I can't do this

Rejected for 6 years💔💔 hopefully will get in..because the dream is burning inside me

Is 22 too late join med school

i got rejected twice but i am trying again for this year and i sure i will make it happen; but i am so nervous this time; i love ur channel.keep motivating.

I really agree with you. I wish I also dropped a level maths!

Hi Faye I love this video so helpful just wondering why did u get rejected from all medical schools in Jan? Was it because of Personal statement or low entrant exam scores or did u apply not very strategically? Just want to know so to have a good chance of getting an offer on my gap year in such a competitive year xx

you rejected 4 times u mean you didnt pass a subject in an exam month?or that you literally got you 4 years to get in med school?thanks for your videos, you are really helping me

To anyone here who has been rejected and is sad about the fact they’ll have to apply again : Don’t worry, it could be worse, I promise. I’m French, and here we only have one single chance. If you fail ( which is easy because they take thousands of people in first year and there are only a couple hundred places to get into second year ) you literally cannot do medicine ever again in any uni in France. So please, be happy that you have a chance to apply again 😭

I LOVE YOUUUUU XOXOXOX

Your story is very refreshing. I got into med school right away but after 2nd year (we have 6 years in Slovenia) I just couldn't handle all the studying. So I took some years off - also worked as a carer in the UK in the meantime and now I'm back in 3rd year and I just love it so much more. I truly appreciate being able to learn all the new things, I understand myself more and can recognise what the problem is when I face them (eg. the way of learning particular subject, stress, lack of sleep...). So all in all I think it's all a process of learning how to deal with certain things in our life. Things happen for a reason - and I truly believe in that. 😊
Keep up the good work! 😍♥️

you're amazing xx

I have been watching your videos the last couple of months, and this video has made me have so much more respect for you as a person! I love seeing your work epic and watching you but this is honestly so inspiring

Have received one rejection post interview and one rejection without interview this application cycle for graduate entry medicine. Still waiting for the outcome of two interviews and struggling to stay positive. This has really helped, especially reinforcing that everything happens for a reason. Love your videos, such an inspirational gal, thank you Faye x

I love your story and I love that you didn’t give up. This is amazing, congratulations on making it in the end, this is definitely a look at God moment. ✨👏🏽💕

Was your A in maths?

Wait so u got ABB within 3 years?

On your personal statement, do you just mention what you're planning on doing in your gap year?

Hey, congrats on getting into med school! I'm about to start Science here in Australia and the feelings of disappointment and a tad bit of jealousy of my friends who are instead going to be starting Medical school have actually resurfaced again. Your video gives me a lot of hope and think of my failure to get in the first time as an even bigger driver to try really hard this year to get in.

YOU GOT THIS! DON'T GIVE UP!

Applying for paramedic science this year and can't believe how competitive it is, been rejected from 3/5 unis and always come back to this video when i get another rejection. thanks faye u make me feel better xxx

I’ve got a place at Nottingham and I’ve also just found your channel! It’s making me so excited to go in September :)

I gave up on the idea of medicine because of mediocre GCSE and A-Level (Covid predicted ) grades currently on the public health course at ARU but flirting with the idea of medicine again. Any thoughts on the med science or biomed courses at ARU?

not me watching this cause i got rejected from med school and into biochem in Zambia and you talking about Zambia

I’m a pre vet student and I’ve been rejected from my 3 top choices of vet schools so far. Your story really resonates with me and inspires me! Thanks for posting this. I have a vet school interview on Friday and watched this for inspiration/motivation! Love your vids

Just got rejected after interview I’m here to cope :))))))))

Hi!! I’m a first year medical student from Poland and omg? I also didn’t get in right after high school and had to resit my exams and decided to study French and English at uni during my gap year. I eventually dropped out before the second term had even started to focus on my biology and chemistry exams. But!! It was hands down one of the worst times in my life. I don’t think people are aware of how terrible gap year like that can be. My mental health was shit at the time. Not sure it’s better now since we’re in a pandemic 😓 but at least I don’t have to worry about my what if I never get in thoughts 😖 sending you lots of love and good luck with everything!

I want to do biology psychology and I don’t know what to do for my third a level but I don’t know if I can do chemistry do you need it ?

I'm a Cardiology resident at the moment. But I had a somewhat similar experience! After grade 12 I decided I didn't want to go into medicine lol
Went into Chartered accountancy. Was acing it. Then after two years I realised I didn't like it! Reapplied to medical schools. But it was late in the session 😄
Then a new medical school opened and I applied and got accepted.
Was very apprehensive as I had forgotten much of biology and chemistry but joined anyway.
End result: graduated with second position in my uni and two gold medals (we get medals for distinctions in subjects).
And now on the way to my specialty in Cardiology 💛

Good luck Faye! :)

oh my god is she Faye's sister ? xd

Was your volunteering in Zambia in Livingstone with African Impact? Because I think we did the same program!

but i thought most unis don’t accept re sits ?? because i don’t think i’m going to get AAA which makes me so ssd

I’m applying through postgraduate as I didn’t get the grades. I’m doing veterinary nursing and from that I’m going to do medicine. I did adult nursing before but hated it due to mentors and the university I was at

👍👍

Can you go to med school doing geography, biology and chemistry? And do you know anyone who has ? xx

Literally in the exact same position as you this year! I am working as a carer and repeating my Biology ALevel...really not having the best time but watching this makes me feel much better for the future :)

I'm from Zambia!! So happy to hear you've travelled here before 🤗🤗🤗

so which med school are u in?

Amazing ! Keep at it girl! Question ! What medical school did you get into haha x
