I applied for Medicine last year with AAA predicted grades, I had three interview and one immediate rejection, I didn't get any offers. I also didn't get my grades due to illness and a family upheaval. I applied this year and still no offers. If I apply again, do I stand a chance?
My current grades are;
AS Biology: B
AS Chemistry: B
AS Physics: A
A-level Photography: A
I'm on track for an A* in Physics as I got 90% in the EWP's exam, so if I repeat this for the A2 exams and manage to retake my A2 practical, this is a possibility. I also think I could get an A in Chemistry (I have personal tutors helping me though)
This year I could end up with A*AAB (Physics, Photography, Chemistry, Biology).
Though I think a B in Biology is likely to be a hinderance.
As for work experience, obivosuly I will need some more up to date work. I spent a month volunteering in Ghana in a local hospital and treating children in local schools and orphanages. I spent two weeks in a hospital near my old home. I also spent a year volunteering with a charity, that was set up to help adult-learners achieve GCSE's in Mathematics and English. (I spent a couple hours a week helping with teach maths).
I'm a little torn, this is what I want, but even if I get the grades I've mentioned, do I actually stand a chance. Should I just give up?
