Remarks don't tend to have a large difference in UMS, so you're better off accepting that you got those grades and take it from there :/

Ok yh I don't mind tbh I don't see the point as maths is just an extra alevel and I have a b in it at As and it at a C will that be ok for medical schools ?

unless youre a mark off a B overall or you think theyve made a mistake on giving you a U (were you expecting A/B?) i wouldnt remark, youve got the 3 A's so good luck! i got AAAB and a quite annoying E in general studies, as long as youve got the 3 A's one being chem youre fine :biggrin:

good luck!!

Edit: some medical schools say a 4th has to be a B i think, but check entry requirements on all the websites to check :smile:

Hey guys, I've been offered to volunteer in a surgical ward at a hospital :biggrin:

The man said I can work in the morning or the afternoon, I really want to experience a lot as it's only 2 hours every week (demand is high) so should I go for the morning slot or the afternoon slot?

The majority of people that reapply have done so because they had no medicine offer (like I was) rather than missing grades.

Uni's do mind it a lot I'm afraid.. see here for more info: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/wiki/Medical_School_Resit_Policies

I know exactly what you mean. I accepted the gap year, got it all sorted yet there is this hope. I am v.v.desperate to get in tmrw but if I dnt then atleast I got my year sorted. I am not optimistic purely because if I do become optimistic its gonna sting when its another no :laugh:
