Are my GCSE grades insufficient for Medicine at Cambridge?

B received in English Language was completely unexpected, and am looking to get a remark as 3 marks off an A (if not, potentially retake)

I dont see why not you seem to have put the hard work and got excellent grades :smile:

I dont think the one B will let you down a lot, do good at A levels and you'll be fine.

Cambridge don't care as much about GCSEs as Oxford so don't really compare your GCSEs to the rest of your schools like Oxford does. What you really need to aim for is a high % average UMS at AS for Cambridge

They're only one part of your application, but they're fine. There are a few med schools which want an A for English at GCSE, but Cambridge isn't one of them, so it shouldn't cause you any problems. Now you just have AS, BMAT and an interview to sort out! :wink:
