Hi, i was really hoping someone could help me out, i'm seriously doubting myself and i need some advice, I would really appreciate if anyone answered
I got my gcse results yesterday and i wasn't thrilled about them but i was happy about them, because i though i did okay
i got:
A*- Arts and Design
A- English Language
A- English Literature
A- Geography
A- Physics
A- Chemistry
B- Biology
B-Maths
B- French
Merit (equivalent to B)- I.C.T compulsory course
I'm going to the sixth form of my choice but at Enrolment the careers adviser said "there's absolutely no one you will ever get into medicine, so lets not even think about that right now, it's not for you"
tbh i already knew that but it was just put so harshly that it knocked my confidence. I asked him about dentistry and he said that biology might be a problem and that i should look into other career options.
I know that gcses' play a huge role in qualifying for medicine but i did my research and according to the 'Medical School GCSE Requirements' page on the student room, i still meet the minimal requirements of 19 universities. So I was wondering that if I do really well in my A-Levels (Biology, Chemistry, English Lit, Art & Design) and have lots of work experience and good UKCAT score etc, will I have a chance to compensate for my gcse results.
