Swansea pathway to medicine

Is anyone on Swansea's pathway to medicine course where you do an undergrad for 3 years and then you get a guaranteed med offer? I've been put on populations health and medical science through clearing so I can do this but I genuinely don't know if it will be worth it considering others doing undergrad medicine will be graduating after 5 years whilst it will take me 7 !! I achieved CDD and my chem grade was one mark of an E - so essentially an E... I am thinking of resitting but I am worried I won't be able to get A/B during resits since I revised really really hard for these exams and only came out with Ds and Es for the sciences. I was put on private courses and had private tutoring so I am very concerned as to whether I can even achieve a B through resits. I also wouldn't know what to apply for since medicine and dentistry would be out of the picture. Possibly pharmacy? MY school is no help

Heyy I’m literally in the exact same position as you! I’ve been on the same course as you at Swansea. Would be great to talk ? x
