Can I still get into medicine with my GCSE's
Okay so I've taken 10 GCSE's and so far I feel as though I'm not going to make it into medicine. I haven't received my results yet (results day august 20th) however the results I'm expecting are something on the lines of:
English lit a*
English Lang a*
Maths a
Additional science a*
Further a*
Core a
Spanish a
History a*
ICT a*
Art b
This may seem stupid but will the 'b' in art hold me back and do I stand any chance. I always hear those horror stories that some people get straight As/A*s and still don't get into med school. So my question is do I stand a chance against the opposition?

I got no A*'s and a couple of C's and I currently hold offers at 2 medical schools. It's literally all about applying to your strengths.

If you end up getting those results, you will put yourself in a good position so dw. Echoing what another person said is that applying to your strengths is key so dw you'll be fine

I only had 1 A* and got an offer from Bristol.
It's all about other things - work exp, leadership, motivation etc - as long as your GCSEs are good enough - which yours def are!
All have low GCSE requirements and focus on the UKCAT. Exeter wanted applicants to be predicted A*A*A or better although they don't advertise this on their website.
Interviews are all about preparation. Go through the ISC Medical book for your interview. It's extremely thorough and detailed.

Well done, I hope you get those results. You certainly can but A Levels are more important

So what would you recommend in terms of work experience?
