    I suggest you post in the medicine forum for more specialist advice.

    Well..... if your grades are in fact really bad then how about you do a solid degree, as a foundation or something to fall back on, and do Medicine as a Grad. There are many GEP across the UK. Just have a look and see what is best for you.

    Haven't you considered resitting some AS modules in order to get AAA ? Applying with grades in hand during a gap year is a far better option than attempting graduate entry.

    You shouldn't even be thinking about it at your stage. Get the right predictions, apply this year and try your best to get the right grades. If you don't get any offers this year, you can re-apply next year...it makes a lot more sense than doing a whole other degree.
