The Student Room Group

Any medical students who did bad in their GCSE's? But still got into Uni?

Anyone studying medicine at university who did below "average" in GCSE's?

If so, please state your:
GCSE results overall:
AS results:
Predicted grades:
Alevel results:
Ukcat/Bmat:

And what you did to help make up for it: (possibly the university you applied to)

This just a thead to motivate students into think that its still posible to apply for medicine :biggrin:

I was literally going to ask the same question lool
Apparently not. Figures though, med is pretty competitive. You need at least 5A*s according to some, though all of the people I know entered with 9-12 A*s :/
