Website: https://www.feelgoodproductivity.com/?utm_campaign=bonus&utm_source=youtube_long&utm_medium=video_description&utm_content=bulkvidsbefore2021 Amazon: https://go.feelgoodproductivity.com/bulkvidsbefore2021 If you're thinking of applying to Cambridge (or Oxford) for Medicine, you might find this video useful :) We talk about 5 questions to ask yourself to work out whether you'd enjoy the style of learning at Cambridge, and then talk a bit about concerns people have about the Cambridge 'stereotype' (whatever that means to you). NB: Oxford and Cambridge are very very similar, so everything in this video also applies to Oxford. The course at Oxford is also very academic, and the stereotypes equally apply (if not more so). -- If you've got any questions, please comment down below and I'll do my best to get back to you asap.
