hey I am currently in a very unfortunate situation. I did GCSE's but unfortunately my grades weren't as good as I wanted them to be because 1st of all, I only did it for like half a year (because my school was so stupid that they allowed me to enter year 11 without being in year 10 first) 2nd the reason why I did it for only half a year was because of the uprising that occurred in my country..before being able to sit the exams in my school the uprising began and we had to move out (leaving my family and relatives there) because I was emotionally stressed and I was so miserable cus I didnt know how to study for it..i kind of did bad..I got all C's and above except for biology I got a D (because during my 6 months of gcse, we didnt have a permanent teacher, they kept on changing so we didn't learn anything)..sorry for the rant but I really want you guys to see the picture..
But fortunately, now I had the chance to do IB..I wont say that I am doing very well but average I guess..Im not the smartest in my classes but I am good I guess.. I know that I can do good if i study hard and thats what Im doing now to cope with my failure in gcse's.. I got 32 points (without the 3 bonus points) in my end of year exams which I think didnt really show my capabilities since we were swamped with work that week..I am really motivated to do well and get into medicine..i am entering year 13 this coming school year and the uni's that I want to apply to are King's, UCL, Edinburgh, Nottingham and Manchester..I havent been to any of these uni's and I dont really know much about them aside from the info they provide in their websites..
SOrry for the really long post but i just wanna ask how would my GCSE grades affect my chance of getting into these uni's?I really like to do medicine and there's no other field that i want to do other than medicine..I literally cant see myself not being a doctor in the future!! Any advice on what should I do? :/
Thanks!!
