In2Med

In2Med is an online education platform, founded by medical students at the University of Cambridge, that helps you apply to and navigate through medical school. We have created online courses helping students apply to medical school, as well as covering the medical syllabus through a series of online modules. The idea behind In2Med started because we knew how difficult it can be to get into medical school. Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Science are some of the most rewarding career options, yet they are also the most competitive and sought-after courses to study at university. Gaining admission for these courses entails an arduous and difficult application process consisting of several different stages – 1. Writing a personal statement; 2. Admissions tests (UCAT and BMAT) and 3. Interviews. Most private and few state schools are able offer some help to their students, but many have to rely on expensive training out of school to have any chance of qualifying and clearing the required exams.

Unfortunately, most (state) schools are not able to offer any assistance to their students applying for these courses, which seriously limits the opportunity for very able students from underprivileged backgrounds in entering the medical field. This is not only unfair but a huge loss for the country. As medicine and dentistry become increasingly competitive each year, we fear that this trend will continue. This will further increase the gap between students in state and private education, making it even more difficult for these students to study one of the most respected courses at university – a problem we are passionate to resolve.

Therefore In2Med was created by students, for students, in order to become that one place where any medical student could go to find the resources they needed and interact with alike minded community, reducing the anxiety that we all shared. We are passionate about helping interested students of all backgrounds to gain access to medical school. Our personal statement course shows students how to write amazing personal statements that will not just cover all the requirements but shine above the competition. In particular, our online, easy-to-access course gives students an in-depth, highly structured approach to write their personal statement, to help bridge the gap between those who study in private vs comprehensive school. This is about more than what to write, we understand what it’s like to struggle to find work experience or wonder what to do about predicted grades and we give full advice on every aspect of the process.
