My GCSEs and Alevel grades are v low, i wanted to retake main subjects and then apply for medicine. Is there any university that would consider retakes?

They're a few which consider A level resits. They have certain criteria which needs to be met e.g. achieving AAB first time round. Have a look here

As for GCSE grades, some will let you resit the core subjects (Maths, Sciences and English) If they're below the minimum required grade. However I don't think many medical school would accept an applicant who has to resit all their GCSEs unless they had extenuating circumstances as a reason for their low grades.
