Just wondering if any of you knowledgable guys here might be able to advise me re medical school admissions. I realise medicine, perhaps more than any other degree course, is not just about excellent grades but anyhow, I already have my A level results. I am currently not at university, having left school last year. I achieved grades A*AA in Eng Lit, Biology and Chemistry respectively.
My key concern is this: would some medical schools consider it advantageous for a candidate to already have their A level results, compared to the majority of applicants who are still at school and thus only have predicted A level results? I ask because I'm unsure whether to apply and am just wondering if this fact may put me at an advantage over other people applying for medicine.
Thanks in advance,
Harbour.
ps I also have hospital work experience I carried out when I was still at school and also did voluntary work in a local care home during the summer of 2010. Ilness prevented my attending uni this year.
