Hi, I'm after some feedback from some medical students, or anyone who knows about the ins and outs of the application process.
I was a straight A student in high school, predicted 10 A/A*s. I fell pregnant with my daughter in my last year and my final results suffered.
I'm now in college doing Chem, Human Biology, Psychology and Maths predicted As. I've done a year's foundation course in Humanities for mature students with Swansea Uni and I'm my UKCAT test scores are pretty good and improving. I have a background in dealing with long term illness, as my mother suffers with fibromyalgia, and I have some volunteer work lined up.
I'm working my ass off since I know I wont be happy unless I try.
But the big question is, will my GCSEs ruin my chances of getting into med school or can they take mitigating circumstances into account?
PS. I've particularly got my eye on Peninsula, so any info about you can give would be great.
Thanks!
