Am I good enough for medicine or shall I just change paths

Hi I got following gcse grades,

1) English language 7
2) English Literature 7
3) Maths 7
4) Biology 9
5) Chemistry 9
6) Business 8
7) R.S. 8
8) Physics 7
9) French 9
10) History 6

They do look good, but my 7s in my core subjects are probably letting me down, I want to get into UoB medical school and I saw that you probably do need to get all 8s in core subjects

The thing is I don’t want to do medicine in a bad university e.g. Aston

Unis grade both maths and English/ sciences and then 2 other subjects as well

Thanks

Hi, those grades look really great, I can see how much effort you've put into achieving those grades!
Why don't you consider other medical schools/ universities, that you feel would be good for you, also maybe have a look at universities medicine departments, because for some unis their medicine courses are really good.
Don't lose hope, meeting entry requirements is only one part of the application process, things like personal statement and how you present yourself matter too, so keep going and I'm sure you'll get into your choice of uni.

Your a levels grades will be more important, but GCSE grades do matter for medicine. I would still go for it, but just make sure predicted grades, ps, and scores on BMAT AND UCAT are as strong as possible. Do you not want to do med at a ‘bad’ uni because of its ranking, or because you feel like the course will not be as good as one from say imperial or cambridge? Because if it’s the latter, then it doesn’t matter which uni you get your degree from, as medical school is hard to get into in general, and all courses have been designed and approved to set you up for the field, so there aren’t really ‘bad’ unis for medicine.
