Not the results of a typical medicine applicant (especially with your B's in Science), but with a lot of hard work at A-level it's definitely possible. :h:

Good luck!

You meet the GCSE entry requirements for most of the medical schools so it should be ok. Just work hard during A levels and get 3/4 A's and do work experience :smile:

Good luck! everything is possible.

It probably won't be easy for you because medicine is obviously very competitive and plus your sciences are at Bs but just work hard for A levels because that is what really matters. I want to study law in the future but didn't get the best grades possible either but I will definitely work harder for A levels and achieve my personal goals. Nevertheless you did great, well done for them and prepare and work hard for A levels. Good luck!!

Medicine is probably the most competitive course, with a very higher applicant to offer ratio.
It is definitely possible if try apply to universities that place less emphasise on GCSEs, and more on work experience, voluntary work, A levels etc.

Good luck :smile:

Ahh thank you! Would you be able to recommend any universities that are not as heavily reliant on GCSE's? Many thanks :smile:

Imperial, BSMS, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle, Durham, Lancaster and Cambridge are your friends.

Edit: Also, how do you get an A* in Lit, but a B in Lang?

Aww thank you for the recommendations! Even the idea of Cambridge seems so surreal to me! Well, I was literally only a mark off an A in language which annoyed the living hell out of me :frown:
