Medical School Summer Programmes

What does our Medical Summer School Involve?

1.) Private Consultation with Getting In

You will receive an initial consultation with our team, and get matched with your own subject-specific tutor. We welcome students from Years 10-13, as well as current university students, and recent graduates. We will then build a unique programme designed around your needs as an applicant and delivered over an eight-week timeframe. Working closely with your assigned tutor will develop your potential for a successful application to Medical School.

2.) Tutoring Sessions

These sessions will be hourly and take place over the eight-week programme. Getting In will match applicants with a mentor in their chosen subject and with expertise in Medicine. Mentors will help prepare students with extra reading, generate new topics of interest and ask questions to test the applicants’ knowledge and stimulate discussion. Where applicable, we will provide subject-specific admissions test support for any of the entrance exams required by UK Medical Schools. This will help prepare candidates for the interview process and enhance their medical knowledge, undoubtedly strengthening their application.

3.) Mock Interviews

Getting In will carry out a series of four mock-interviews during the programme over the last four weeks of our Online Medical Summer School. These will be led by Medicine graduates in a formal manner that mimics the interview process for Medical School. Mock interviews will be followed by a written report detailing interview techniques and areas still in need of development in order to help prepare applicants for their interview.

4.) Personal Statement Workshop

Personal statements submitted to Medical Schools must be of the highest possible standard. This succinct piece of written work must convey the applicants’ suitability for their course of choice and their wider achievements. Getting In will review three drafts of the personal statement and will have two face-to-face meetings to discuss this vital component of the application process.
