Medicine rejections what do i do?!

ok, so i applied to UEA and SOTON for the 6 year medicine course and got rejection from both, my other three where for biomed, and i got conditionals for all three at queen mary's st george's and westminster . trouble is i really feel like if i don't do medicine that i don't wanna do anything at all, what do i do. i was thinking of gap year to strengthen application, but if i fail again then what?! im completely broken by my situation and don't know what to do, i expect no clearing for medicine due to the competition and reaplying next year being even more competative than this one! help me!

St. George's allow a (very) small number of biomed students to enter second year medicine I think.

medicine is very competitive that is why i applied for biomedical instead

i dont want to sound like a dick, but you don't sound like you were that interested in medicine if you decided not to apply at the very first hurdle

At first i was interested, but decided that doing biomedical engineering is more suited for me because there is more interesting stuff in there that i like than medicine.

well i think reapplying next year would help alot in terms of improvements that can be made in my application, ps and ukcat (i got 615 avrg), the thing is im scared il get all rejections again, especially being an IB student i don't really know if i stand a change with around 34 points, maybe upto 36 if it goes well, some uni's only want say 32 points but ive had friends with 39 predicted and getting rejected for uni's wanting 34 even though there ps looks amazing. oh and does anyone know if it is possible to accept the two top choices before may 4th and then depending on my actual results to make the decision wheather to reapply or not?

at st georges if you performe at a first class rate (they say above 80%) in every year then you can transfer to the 3rd year of their medical degree after your 3 years of biomed. (so you get to be a doctor after 5 years like the normal doctor, but 80% grade is very hard to get consistantly).

however OP; i would say take a year out and next year apply to 4 med schools... applying to only 2 will lower your chances big time. if you do not get in next year then you will prob have to do a degree and go for GEP, but if you do not reappy next year you could really end up regretting it.
do not let this years rejection stop you. you gave yourself very little chance this year by only applying to two schools. you will have a better chance next year esp if you get some good experiance. also try to get feed back from the schools you applied to this year so you know where you need improovement.
dont give up that easily. fight for a place.

i would NEVER normally advocate graduate entry but OP i think this is the best route for you. my other half is a final year medic at soton after entering it via the bm6 course. she has said that they received something like 600 applications for 30 places which is insane. this year, for the first time ever in the history of bm6, they have been rejecting masses of candidates without interview which is something they never did before - not even last year. they had a 30% increase in applications this year and next year is only going to get tougher - read the BBC reports on the education section. believe me, i know exactly what it feels like to only want to do medicine - it took me 3 years af applications to get in. only thing is, is at the moment you may think you know what you want but when you get into uni sometimes things change and your feelings for what you think is right will change.

i would advise, if you get AAA then yes take a gap year reapply. If you get below AAA, go for grad entry. you are severly restricting yourself to only applying to these 6 year courses
