I need help!!

I got a C in my IGCSE English language even though I got an A in English Literature . The rest of my grades are pretty good , As and Bs and some A*s , and thats why i was very disappointed and confused to find out that i got a C .

I want to study medicine later on and Ive been looking into Medical schools and most of them require at least a B in English to be able to apply . I was thinking of doing a resit or remarking it ( depending on how far off i was when i get the raw marks back) but most of the unis also say they do not allow resits and want all marks to be achieved on the first try. I am starting to get really nervous and can barely get any sleep . Im starting to think im not smart enough to do medicine. I need support and reassurance quick . Please tell me i still have a chance. I cant believe something i did when i was 16 will impact what unis think of my english skills in two years time. ahhh

When did you do this exam? If it wasn't this exam season, it'll be too late to remark I'm afraid.

Some Med Schools require a B in English Language OR Literature - it'll be best to email Med schools and ask. Otherwise, you could retake but you're right that not all will accept them. You'll need to avoid those Medical Schools when applying.*

A C grade has no indication of how smart you are or not to study Medicine.*

I hear sport science take Cs in English Language?

But seriously, stop panicking. If they won't accept a resit, and they won't accept a C, there's nothing you can do now. It's normal to panic about something like this but ask yourself, what can you do about it? If the answer is nothing, then you need to work out what you want to do instead of Medicine.

Do you really think ill have to reconsider what i want to do in life ? ive wanted to medicine for as long as i can remember and i cant believe this C will change that. I dont know what else i want to do . now im really nervous

unfortunately very very few medical schools will accept a C in english language, few other degrees at top universities will either, most require at least a B for medicine unfortunately.

Actually there are loads of medical schools that would accept me. There are a few in UK and ,as I am not looking to study in the UK , most of the medical schools in Europe also do not care much about your GCSE grades at all but care for the grade you get in their entrance exam.
I asked for support and reassurance and I didnt get that at all from you, i spent days worrying about this and you commented vaguely basically telling me i stood no chance. I was raised to be optimistic and i think thats what will make me a good doctor.

Next time do your own research instead of crying about it telling other people to help...

i got this information from another student forum that i posted this on . These kind of websites are here so that people can seek help and post their worries so that others that have information and have experienced the same thing, first hand, can help and support them .
I wasnt trying to be rude , I just replied to share the information i got from other people so that others who are also experiencing the same thing as i am can read this and know that there are other options. I never said anything offensive , I just said that her comment wasnt helpful in my situation because it only made me feel worse .
