GCSE Grades to study Medicine

Hi everyeone,
I received a grade 5 in GCSE english language, which is the only grade that is letting me down. Would I still be able to get into medical school with 3 A* predicted grades and a good UCAT/BMAT?

It's possible, but quite a few Med Schools need at least a 6 in English Language. You'll need to make sure you apply wisely only to the Med Schools that accept a 5 in English Language and/or need a 6 in English Language or literature.

You might want to consider retaking it too to bring your mark up. That'll open up your options a lot more.

Thanks for the advice! I know its been 3 years but I ended up doing exactly that and got into med after taking a gap year! I'm going into my second year now
