Article: Medical school A Level requirements

Will universities prefer students with 3 or more science A levels over those with 2 science A levels for medicine. I understand UCL quite like contrasting subjects, but I want to know about others. I don't want to not do a 3rd science A level, and for universities to reject me because I didn't show as much competence and capability at handling the hardcore science subjects. Please help

hi im in the same situation, could you please tell me the medical schools that accept lower grades I cannot seem to find them. I would really appreciate it.

thanks

For A-Level? Generally most medical schools require at an absolute minimum AAA, with lots now wanting A*AA plus.

for everything really, I mean I know some med schools like Cambridge and Birmingham want A* GCSEs and all AAA for A-levels, but some others don't require such high grades, I was wondering if anyone could list the med schools that don't have such high requirements, which med schools are the lowest requiring ?

hi ,
my GCSE grades are :
Maths , Biology , Chemistry at grade B.
my English and human health and physiology at Grade C

I have only started my A levels this year , am I am able to apply for medicine with these grades of GCSE ?

You can do medicine abroad in Bulgaria with grades BB in Bio and Chem,
If you want to apply message me ASAP

No no no please don't give up, you can do this!
I'm doing these subjects too and although they suck, I can't wait to get to uni and study medicine. It's daunting, but there are other universities that aren't mentioned on the list who require lower grades if that's what you're worried about. But come on! You can do this.

I have Cs in my AS levels. Im searching for universities with low grade requirements too. Could you tell me a few? Which focus less on the grades and more on the personal statement maybe? Or the overall application?

So I got 4A*, 3A and 2B at iGCSE, but I'm doing pre-U at the moment. Does anyone know what Cambridge would offer using Pre-U marks rather than AS levels?
Also, as I didn't do so well in GCSEs, will that affect my offer?

So would I get into Manchester if I only did biology, chemistry and maths? With the required grades, do I need to do another subject at as? I'm really confused

Manchester state their policy on this on their medicine entry requirements page, they require a 4th subject at AS unless your school provides them with written proof that your school does not allow students to take a 4th subject at AS.

That's weird I emailed them and they said I only need to do 3 a2 subjects, no extra as or a2 is an advantage to the medicine course :/
