<p>I know the odds are very low which is why I’m trying to maximize them as much as possible, especially since things such as work experience are hard to get down here since doctors don’t do shadowing, hence the only relevant experience one can get is volunteering, which I plan to get a few hundred hours in. I am also aware of the fact that most UK med schools only accept between 5-20 international students into medical school each year, so I really am just trying to improve my chances where possible.</p>
