Summarize this article:

Students in the UK can apply for up to 5 different courses, so most apply for 4 different medical schools, and use their last option to apply for a different course in case it doesn't go as planned. You will need to apply by the deadline and write a personal statement.  Most students choose a health related course for their final option. This is often a bio-medical science degree, as it has lower grade requirements and can be used to pursue medicine as a postgraduate later on. Always double check the entry requirements and deadlines for your applications throughout the process. Most deadlines will be between September and October of the year before you wish to begin your course.  Get a trusted family member, friend, or careers advisor to go through your application with you. They can help to check that you have everything sorted. 26 of the 33 medical schools in the UK require applicants to take the UK Clinical Aptitude Test (UKCAT). This test ensures that all successful applicants have attributes that are valuable in a clinical setting.  You can apply to sit the UKCAT through the official website and booking in a test date.  The UKCAT assesses attitudes, mental abilities, and behaviours. Bursaries are offered for applicants that require financial help to pay for the test. There is an eligibility criteria which includes many different circumstances, such as receiving Free School Meals or living with a parent or guardian that is in receipt of a means-tested benefit. You can apply for the bursary scheme on the UKCAT website.  The Graduate Medical School Admissions Test (GAMSAT) is another type of test, but is instead for applicants who are applying for graduate medical programs. The GAMSAT tests how well the applicants can think critically, communicate clearly, and analyse information. You can register to sit the GAMSAT online, and book into a test center. The interview is a chance for the medical school to see you as a person and to gauge your values and motives, rather than just assess your grades. Get plenty of practice speaking confidently, genuinely, and clearly, and answer questions as honestly as possible.  Although interviews can be nerve-wracking, remember that all of the other applicants feel the same way, and that it's okay to be nervous. You will be asked why you want to study medicine, and about your application, experience, background, and interests. Have genuine, well thought out answers for these questions ready, because sounding genuine will be appreciated even if you are concerned that your answers are generic. If you know anyone who has gone through a medical school interview, don't be afraid to ask them questions about their experience to help you feel more prepared. Getting accepted into medical school is an exciting time! Start preparing for your new life by organizing your accommodation or transport if you have to move. Also explore different student finance options that could help you through your studies, such as scholarships, loans, and grants.  Lots of medical schools will hold events before the course starts. Make sure that you attend these if possible to meet other people in your classes, and to feel prepared for the years ahead. If you don't get accepted to medical school at first, most schools will allow you to reapply after 1 year. It is recommended that you gain more healthcare related experience during this time. This will take between 4-6 years depending on your particular course. You will have to meet the minimum grade requirements for your classes to be able to progress through your degree, and these vary across institutions.  This is the time where you will get basic training in medical sciences, core learning, and practical clinical skills. After completing your bachelor's degree, you will be called a junior doctor!

Apply for medical programs. Take the admission tests if your application passes the first stage. Attend your medical school interview. Organize for life as a medical student if you get accepted. Complete your bachelor's degree in medicine.
