how many years would the long route to medicine take? i didn't do to well at gcse as i got mostly b's i am currently at year 12 studying chemistry biology and maths and psychology but I'm thinking of dropping psychology this year
When you say long route I'm assuming you mean graduate entry medicine. For that, you'd do an undergraduate degree which is normally 3 years, then you'd apply for accelerated medical courses which are 4 years, so in total 7 years.
There are also medicine courses with a foundation year, which you may be eligible for if you meet certain criteria, and these are 6 years.

You can get a relevant degree and get a high 2:1 then do graduate entry Medicine.
Lmao.. That cheekiness. Let me guess. Not your med school
I don't have a problem with people who have 2:2s going into medicine or med schools which accept 2:2 degrees, definitely not how that post was meant to come across! My point was merely that you don't need a "high 2:1".
I'm 24 now. I took 2 years out, have now lived in Australia, India and Sweden and soon to graduate with a 2:1 in Biology with the Open University. I sat my UKCAT two days ago and got 734 average with a band 2 in SJT. I'll be applying to both the undergraduate and graduate route at KCL, and also Warwick and Newcastle.
