Young Medics and Dentists set for bright future
Young medics at Merchant Taylors have their fingers on the pulse of admission to the toughest university courses.
A record 22% of MTGS Sixth Form students have won offers to study Medicine and Dentistry at U.K. universities.
An astonishing 15 of all 67 students have been successful in the most competitive of all university admissions procedures.
The girls' success follows the national trend for more and more women to enter the medical and dental professions with the number of women on roll averaging between 60% and 80% across U.K. universities.
Our young men are not far behind. This year seven young men, or nearly 10% of Year 13 students, have received offers to top medical and dental schools.
Head of the Girls' Sixth Form, Mrs Peppin, put the success down to passion, commitment and intellectual ability.
She said: "Girls have excellent academic profiles, are passionate about their vocation, have a variety of hands on experience and voluntary work, and can demonstrate outstanding caring qualities. They have all the attributes medical schools are looking for."
MTBS Head of Biology, Mr Bonfante, said: "Medicine and dentistry have always been extremely competitive options, but now even more so than ever before, with some medical colleges only accepting one in 20 applications."
"Above all these young men have shown tremendous commitment to their course work, but moreover they have demonstrated that they are rounded, responsible individuals."
Mr Bonfante added: "As medical schools know so many young people these days will achieve the necessary grades, they look more closely than ever at what they have done outside of class and their sense of social responsibility."
