How to get into medical school uk

Hi i'm nearly 18 i came in England couple of years back and had to resist my GCSEs as from were i come we don't have similar qualifications.
I was given 1 year to get 5 GCSEs it didn't go as planned and i had failed most of the subjects. The only option was to do applied science Lev 2 to get English and Maths .
I'm looking for a pass in both and probably will end up doing BTEC applied science level 3 in September.

I know it seams quite ridiculous to even ask but is there a way or a chance that i could potentially do Medicine ? With a foundation year or whatever is possible...

I really want to pursue my dream and not become a victim of the circumstances i've found myself in .

Regards

Hi i’d recommend u trying foundation yr courses for med. Usually they have lower requirements and they do take ur circumstances into considerations
