Are my grades good enough for medicine?

Hello,

Just got my GCSE results and I am want to check if my grades are viable enough for medicine.

So I got:

4 A*s (Math, double-science and Arabic)
3 As (English Language, Numeracy and RS)
3Bs (English lit and Geography and skills challenge (an qualification that equates a GCSE) )

I am not locked in in regards to my uni choices, but cardiff, bristol, exter, imperial are some of the unis on my mind.

Hi
Well done, great results. Those results are definitely good enough to get into medicine. You will need to pick your unis that you apply to carefully .Some put lots of emphasis on GCSE results, some put
lots of emphasis on BMAT, UCAT etc. if you can do well at AS and get good predicted grades and get a good score in the medical admission test then there is no reason why you should not get a place. Doing some medical related work/ volunteering will help. Also, demonstrate your passion beyond the A level syllabus with lectures, podcasts etc. Are you at a state school in Wales? The SEREN program is excellent for supporting welsh state school students. With your results, your school should recommend you for the program.
