Are my GCSE grades good enough for medical school?

I'm wanting to get into medical school, but I'm worried I won't have the grades at GCSE to get in.

I'm currently in year 11 and these are the grades I'm predicted:
A science- A*
C science- A
Business- A*
Maths- A
English- A
Geography- B/A
ICT- B/A
Graphics- B
RE- C

Are these grades good enough? I'm not too sure, but I don't feel like they're good enough

They are fine but you'll need to apply wisely and avoid GCSE-heavy Med Schools (Oxford, Birmingham etc.). You can find the minimum GCSE requirements for different Medical Schools here: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/wiki/Medical_School_GCSE_Requirements :smile:

That's relieving to hear. It's just I heard you need all these A*s and it's really competitive. Good luck with getting in as well :smile:
