    Would I be applicable for a foundation medicine degree?
    Hello there,

    It's always been my ambition to study medicine, and I consider myself a relatively bright individual, but throughout my A levels I've had a lot of health issues, and my grades suffered. Health issues resolved, I'm now taking a third year, and my grades are looking much better (A's and B's.)
    I read on the Nottingham university website that they offer a medical degree with a foundation year, with entry requirements CCC, which sounds great, the only problem being that they apparently only accept 10 people.
    Given my circumstances, would I be a viable and decent candidate for this course?

    Do you meet the additional entry criteria? http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/ugstudy/...year-bmbs.aspx

    Also, the offer is CCC so I think if your predicted grades are higher they may not consider you.
