My GCSE results where as follows: 2 A*s, 9 As AND 1.5 Ds.
Now I moved to this country when I was 12 - started half-way through year 8 in a normal secondary-school. I missed two years of education, because of my birth date. prior to moving here i had minimal English knowledge-i knew how to introduce myself that's about it (and English is my third language).
Anyway, after moving here, I had to learn English (and French since it was compulsory). I had to self-teach everything i missed since i missed the start of year eight and two school years, because the school system here is different to the one in my country. So my grades where really bad until the end of year nine, since that's where my English improved. Because of all of this my predicted GCSE grades where really bad and teachers didn't really encourage me or think I could get good grades. Also during my GCSE exams, my brother was in hospital seriously ill. Because of all of this my grades suffered and I only got 2 A*s.
(I'm not trying to find an excuse for my not so astounding grades and I know that they're good, but the question is are they good enough? :P)
Medicine has always been my passion and that's the only profession I can see myself being in. As for my A-Level grades I think I might get As in Chemistry and Biology and German (native language), however I didn't do so well in Maths and English Lit, since I suffer from insomnia and perhaps anaemia(have to get that tested) - I'll probably get a B or a C in the worst-case scenario.
So if I get good Bmat results would I have a realistic chance? Give me your honest opinion!
