Dubai student chooses King's College London after offers from top UK medical schools

Dubai: For Devansh Gupta, a high-achieving student from The Indian High School, Dubai, the dream of studying medicine at one of the world’s leading institutions has become a reality. After receiving offers from three of the UK’s top medical schools — King’s College London, University of St Andrews, and the University of Birmingham — Devansh has officially chosen to pursue his medical degree at King’s College London, a global leader in healthcare education and research.

Just a year ago, the path to medical school felt uncertain. But with focused preparation and expert guidance from GuideMe, a Dubai-based education consultancy, Devansh turned ambition into achievement.

“I never imagined scoring 3000 on the UCAT,” said Devansh. “But thanks to Abheet Sir’s structured and supportive teaching style, I learned how to approach each section with confidence. He didn’t just teach me — he believed in me. That belief truly made the difference.”

Devansh’s preparation extended far beyond test scores. Namrata Ma’am, Director of Admissions at GuideMe, played a key role in his journey. “She was a pillar of support throughout the application process,” he shared. “From helping me write a compelling personal statement to prepping me for interviews, and managing every small detail — her support allowed me to stay fully focused on my preparation.”

Thanks to this combination of personalized test prep and comprehensive admissions support, Devansh received four interview invitations and ultimately three conditional offers — a remarkable feat in the highly competitive world of UK medical admissions.

He now looks ahead to his next chapter at King’s College London. “King’s stood out to me for its academic excellence, strong clinical exposure, and its vibrant student community. I’m incredibly excited to begin this journey.”, Devansh said.

His story stands as an inspiration to aspiring medical students across the UAE — proof that with the right mentorship, strategy, and dedication, global education dreams are well within reach.
