Not sure if I should carry on?

Tough question. You could go through with the idea, but you would have to do well in your ASs and get good predicted grades, then murder your PS/ work experience. Advantage that you have: time. You have a long time to get a load of work experience down, and to think about your PS etc.

Also, you have the time to do the research as to where doesnt look too much at GCSEs, or where you meet the minimum GCSE requirements - you would have to pick your choices carefully, but you could still do it. No lie, it would be hard, and if you got rejected first time around, like most of us fear, there is the option of reapplying, at which point you would already have your Alevels, and GCSEs would be less important.

Theres the option of graduate entry, but its a little early to think about that really.

Lots to consider for you.

The maths might be a problem, unless you can provide evidence for mitigation.

There are always more than one way to skin a cat too, if you want to be a doctor that badly, there is always a way - it might not be easy, or immediate, but perseverence and hard work usually pays off.


That said, save for your maths, your other grades are more than fine for medicine. It might be worth emailing medical schools you like and see what they say.

Chin up - it's never over until the fat lady sings and all that jazz!
