Common questions
- Is The Med Step part of TheStudySoc?
- Yes. The Med Step is TheStudySoc's medical admissions division. It keeps its own name, tone and audience, and shares the company's infrastructure, safeguarding standards and support.
- Do you guarantee an offer?
- No, and no one honestly can. We help you make well-informed choices and present yourself clearly. Admissions decisions are always the university's.
- How current is the information in your guides?
- Every guide shows the date it was last reviewed. Requirements change each cycle, so always confirm the detail on the university's own admissions page before you apply, we link to it on every guide.
