Medicine Resit Applicants' Success Stories?

not sure what their resit policy is if you are retaking the year, but you could apply to Liverpool, Lancaster

Your chances don't look good I'm afraid. You can try and ask the universities if they would consider your extenuating circumstances but it's possible that they will be reluctant since you didn't disclose them beforehand. If your extenuating circumstances are expected you really must be predicted at least AAA if not higher in order to stand a chance. Anything lower will just not be good enough unfortunately.
If you receive AAA after resitting then you could always take another gap year and apply provided the universities you contact, agree to accept an application from you. It's pretty much next to impossible for you to ring up on results day and ask for an offer.
If you have your heart still set on medicine you could always go down the graduate entry route.

To all who completed/ are completing A-levels in 3years..
I just sent an email to the top 20 medical schools in the UK regarding their resit policie (also mentioning that I have aspergers syndrome ); I got a reply from Manchester saying they would consider a offer from me, so long as I provided a letter from my doctor or school explaining how my condition affected my grade. So all I have to do now is call my psychologist and have her write a letter and it'll pass as 'extenuating circumstances'.
Note to all : Most medical schools consider resit applicants( even the likes of oxford and Cambridge!) as long as their circumstances are extenuating and they achieve A*AAc

Okay, I need some good honest advice.

Last year I underachieved massively in my AS levels getting BBBC. I was extremely disappointed and although I had a good UKCAT score of 663, decided that applying with AAB predictions would be futile.

Since then I went on to achieve A*AB, with the B in chemistry.
My plans for this year are to resit one module in chem to get the marks up (i was only about 10 marks off overall), continue my work as a dispenser at Lloyds Pharmacy where I have been for 3 years as well as Bank HCA work which I am waiting for a post after being successful at interview. In the meantime my local GPs have offered me a job doing admin and I volunteer at a care home.

I am applying to Keele because they offer A*AB, BSMS which is where I have always wanted to go, and have changed my other two options to Exeter and Liverpool as they accept resits. My UKCAT is on Thursday.

I have a strong PS due to a cadet background, having achieved an RAF scholarship to study medicine as well as a flying scholarship and high rank etcetc.

I need advice on whether Exeter is the right fourth option, whether I am honestly a strong enough candidate and where my application could be improved.

Thanks!

Bumping this to include my more recent UCKAT score of 720 average.

Advice please!

Don't worry, you'll be fine. On the side note, I have a questions for some of the resitters currently at lpool, when did you hear back from them?

Do the ukcat because what if you dont get into them unis? You need a backup plan.
