Yes, Lena, a graduate of London Gates, who is now studying at King's College London.
Where do you see yourself in the future?
If I study biomedicine, I will stay in the UK; if I can transfer to medicine, I will return to work in Russia.
Are you worried?
I found out the results, so the there are no worries enymore. I only need to solve some household issues, collect documents and arrange everything with the hostel. But the most difficult thing — exams — is already over.
What advice would you give to those who take A-Levels exams?
You can't relax, you have to try to pass everything well the first time. It is important to do homework and listen to your teachers — they are cool.
Is there anything else you'd like to say?
Yes, many thanks to London Gates Education Group for helping with the personal statement. Writing a motivation letter is a very important element. Universities often take students with not the highest grades if they see high motivation. I advise you to pay special attention to your personal statement!
