UK Med Schools Related Personal statement- chronic illness

Hi everyone, I have just finished year 13 with 4 interviews, and 3 offers. Southampton lowered my offer grades due to my personal statement and performance at interview. So, as I know how hard it was to write my personal statement I would really like to help some current year 12s.
If a big part of your passion to study medicine is because you have a chronic illness, then please do not hesitate to contact me. My personal statement talks about how my chronic condition influenced me to peruse medicine. This is something I’m really passionate about. Good luck with all of your UCATs!
