The interview preparation was challenging but incredibly rewarding. My mentor, Dr Leon, provided detailed feedback on my answering framework and medical knowledge. With his help, I was able to refine my answers and articulate my thoughts. My mentors also helped me to refine my UCAS essay and prepare for scholarship interviews. Their dedication helped me greatly and I believe the skills I learnt will help me beyond my college years.

With their guidance, I was able to secure my attachment to write for PSCORE, where I gained practical experience and developed a deeper understanding of International Relations. Through my mentors' support, I was able to develop my public speaking skills for my interviews.
