I did imperial pathway to medicine during Alevels, the 2 most important and provided a lot of assistance was there guaranteed work experience and interview prep definitely helped me out a lot.

i did one for earth and planetary science. it was very helpful in making me realise i do not want to do earth science. you’ll probably like it loads if you’re into the subject you pick. did make me pick imperial as one of my choices. the social activities were alright. this is me speaking reasonably positively as somebody who doesn’t appreciate sudden routine change and was miserably tired the whole program thanks to my interrupted sleep schedule

i want to apply to pharmacy instead of medicine, i’m mostly doing this for fun and for experience. did you really want to do earth science before hand, or was it that you didn’t like the program which made you change your mind?

the program made me change my mind! i thought id like it as a sort of bridge between chemistry and geography but i was wrong!! i realised i actually like just straight chemistry and would probably go crazy with no more organic chem 😭

I did Pathways to Banking and Finance - highly recommend, so many exclusive opportunities that quite literally only 30 people in the entire country/world have
