Backup Plans & Medical School Applications

A friend of mine once got a tattoo that read: ‘If you have a plan B, then you plan to fail’. At the time I remember disagreeing with the statement. Although still not completely convinced by it, I can now understand where she was coming from. There has always been a major emphasis on the need of having a backup [...]

A good place to start when prepping for an Oxbridge Interview is to consider what its there for. If you’ve done your elementary research, then you too will have stumbled across the tales of lofty silent turret-rooms with aged professors standing looking out over the college court, booming ‘Sit down!’, only to face the terrifying choice [...]

How to prepare an exam in a scientific subject in two weeks

Studying regurarly during the term is, of course, the best way to learn prop- erly the subjects. However, it may happen that you have overlooked a subject, for several rea- sons, including sports, business, family issues, laziness, etc. If the exam is scheduled after two weeks, you will probably think you have no chance to [...]

A beginner’s guide to medical school applications

So you’re sitting in a dusty old hall at your school and you’re being given the UCAS talk, or what I like to call the “start-thinking-about-what-you-want-to-do-with-the-rest-of-your-life” talk. It’s scary. You thought you had it all figured out: you were going to ace all your exams, get into a great university and become a doctor – it [...]

Learning Revolution

As a part-time private mathematics tutor for the past five years, I have personally witnessed how rethinking education methods can improve social mobility and transform real lives. The current UK education system, whilst deservedly has its own merits, is also equally riddled with issues. Firstly, the classroom has evolved little since it was first developed during the [...]

Tell me about the ‘dismal science’?

You walk into your Oxbridge Economics interview, not really knowing what to expect, and the Professor of Econometrics and Mathematical Economics in-front of you cuts into the conversation, with a faint smile and a gentle shrug: “So, tell me about the ‘dismal science’?” Now, if all is well, you will happen to recall that it [...]
