The harsh truth of applying for med

I just got an offer to study medicine!! However one thing that medicine taught me is that the fastest way to killl you career is not a lack of knowledge or anything like that it’s your ego. For reference I had done poorly in my ucat 1890 B2 but I strategically applied and secured interviews and got 2 offers and a waitlist at the end. One thing that I saw with people online and in person was the inability to processes that they simply just didn’t have the necessary requirements to apply for certain courses. For example one of my friends not having correct GCSE’s and applying even when minimum GCSE requirements were published. Others online applying to UCAT heavy universities with an average or below average ucat just because they do not want to go to a less prestigious uni. The list goes on but the point I’m trying to make is that if medicine is the path you want to take then you shouldn’t allow something as easy to fix as you ego stop you as it has many others

Edit as people are asking what unis I applied to
Keele, hull York, Manchester and Leicester. I got offers from HYMS and keele and I am going to keele.

I’m not even bring funny now I need to hear back by tomorrow morning or else😡. I’m joking ( kind of) but in actuality what are my chances of still getting a offer pre may 13 because no response is no longer good as I already have offers so can’t join the waitlist. If Leicester sent this hold email last year can add by of you tell me if there were offers given out before a waitlist being formed.

I have a feeling the last offers will come between may 6th and may 13 th as the 6th is the deadline for people who got all decisions by the end of march to reply.
