Original post by AnnekaChan173The chances of you getting in on results day without applying for medicine? Very low.
Reiterating what everyone above have said - take a gap year, honestly. See how your grades are in the end - hopefully if you get AAA+ you can apply as normal, and if not, resit/ apply for foundation courses. I got in through a waiting list (I was interviewed and missed the cut off by one point), but the chance of it happening is very low - most universities want you to have been interviewed by them previously for you to get in this way to start with, and then that's only if they do have places. This method means you have to apply for 2017 entry, which I'm guessing you'll struggle to do if your school won't give you the predicted grades. St Georges had places through clearing this year but it's the first time that has ever happened for a medical school, so I wouldn't bank on it happening again. Before I got an offer from my uni, I tried calling to no avail, and was 75th on the LiveChat system (the estimated waiting time was 147 minutes!) to talk to them at 8:15am - consider they would probably have opened at 8! The competition for those places would have been extremely high - you'd be better off applying to a larger number of unis for 2018 entry and upping your chances. Gap years can do wonders for your maturity and you can have loads of fun if you plan it well.
If not, you could look at the GEM route, and do a life-science based degree, such as Biomed or Neuroscience.
