HELLLPPP,Need advice on What to do!!!!?!?!?!?!ANYONE

hello,any help or advice from (preferably people who know their stuff is greatly appreciated.
so i applied to medicine this year,got interview at Liverpool but was unsuccessful ,however i focused on my grades and didn't let that put me down ,i worked my a** off but despite so i didn't achieve AAA during results day of 2014,i was gutted,even shed a tear (not afraid to say it,as i worked hard but don't know what happened)so recently iv been thinking just to do pharmacy (as i received an offer from Hertfordshire (through clearing ,not particularly the best oh well), i was planning to do that then after 5 years do grad medicine,as you can see i am very determined to do med.i was looking through couple threads and also from friends of friends ,i found out that this year people were accepted into med with AAB,i received A(bio) B(chem) B(maths) ,but the B in chem is 3 UMS of an A so i sent it in for remark and hope to see what happens.
what should i do.
1)should i accept the offer for pharmacy from Hertfordshire.
2)should i take a gap year and apply to 4 med unis and 1 pharmacy at a better uni then Hertfordshire(on the grounds that my chem mark goes up)?

Ultimately, it's your choice. However I would take the gap year (tbf I would no matter what the results were because it'd give me time to relax and settle down)

yeah i understand what you mean,ie not to rush into things and think about it ,thanks for replying dude,right now im just depressed and feel lost.so one year out wouldn't be detrimental to me in the grand scheme of things is what your saying even if i do 5 years pharmacy then 4 years med (9 years then the 1 year of gap year so 10 years)??

yeah man ,cheers .

I think you should retake your chem and maths and apply to medical schools which accept retakes this following cycles so ;Exeter, plymouth, UEA etc

i would recommend doing pharmacy first and then applying to medicine though however u will need to get a first ! my close friend of mine did this and was accepted to do medicine at Leicester without any hesitation. i would recommend doing pharmacy at herts as the course is very laid back with it 50% coursework and 50% exams ( other university are pure examination which i think is more harder)

Omg the exact same thing has happened to me... i applied for medicine, had an interview with liverpool, also wasnt successful, i had 4 a levels (maths, chem, bio and physics) to study for so u could imagine the hard work i had to go through. I also didnt achieve AAA and eventually got into Hertfordshire through clearing to do pharmacy. Im going to an open day at the university to see if it'll be worth spending my next 4 years at the university.
Well, what i think ill do is either finish the course of pharmacy and apply to medicine as a graduate or during my course, apply for medicine outside the uk but still in EU.

What about biomed or biochem then try and transfer after one year? Pharmacy is a long degree to do just to delay doing med. It's also £9k/ year in tuition alone so you're paying a lot of money just to try to do medicine at the end of it.
