What should I do to get on a Medicine course?

Definitely concentrate on GCSE for now - need to be solidly around 7 A*s or above for medicine tbh as everyone else is. Read around the subject, make sure it is a subject that you want to do.

Thanks for the advice. Although my school is predicitng a mixture of As and A*s, I believe u can do the straight A*s. However, after GCSEs what should I start doing eg volunteering?

Definitely do volunteering in charity shops, hospice or care home long term. You may also do some work experience at a hospital or gp. But it is more so about what you learn from the experience rather than what you do

Okay so volunteering is a must. What did you take at A-level? Thanks!

Chem, Bio, Physics, Maths and Further Maths

Most Sixth Forms now only let you take 3 A-Levels, so considering this I am going to take Chem, Bio and Maths. However, I could take Further Maths as an additional 4th. Would I be better off taking further aswell? Also what Uni do you got to? Thanks

There is no point in taking FM - most medical schools don't count it as an additional subject.

Firstly, don't bother doing further maths. Complete waste of your time for the vast majority (if not all) medical schools.
Next, get loads of work experience! In your long summer following your GCSEs, try and get work experience at a school (special needs children esp good), a nursing home, a hospice, a GP surgery (even if you can only get a couple of afternoons) and ideally a hospital. This will be the best opportunity you have to get work experience as once you start your A levels, your spare time will be extremely limited.
I would also say make sure you have 1 long term volunteering commitment (involving caring for others, doesn't need to directly in a hospital/GP). For example for me this is 2 hours a week volunteering at a hospice. Do your best to keep this up through your A levels as this shows commitment to medicine as well as giving you loads to talk about when you hopefully get interviews in year 13.
Finally, keep yourself well. It's very easy to taken into the whole "I must achieve 269 A* GCSEs and 72 A* A levels in every subject know to man" mindset, but the bottom line is, for most medical schools (excluding Birmingham and a few others) you just need an A grade average at GCSE with a handful of A*s, then AAA or A*AA at A level. You literally don't need endless amount of A levels. After this point, it comes down to UKCAT/BMAT and then interview performance.
P.S. I did Chemistry and Biology at A level so you're welcome to message me if you need any advice.

Hi, thanks so much for the advise! I definetley now going to do the volunteering. What was the 3rd A-level you took. I was just wondering what Uni you are at / went too and what you achieved in your GCSE's? Thanks again

You're welcome.
My 3rd A level was Psychology (definitely my favourite and the easiest out of the 3)
In my GCSEs I got 10 A*s and 1 A.
I'm on a gap year at the minute and have applied for medicine. I have been given 3 interviews so far at Sheffield, Leicester and Southampton and am still waiting to hear back from Birmingham.

What did you get in your GCSE's?

I put this in my previous answer haha but I got 10 A*s and 1 A

Oh sorry! Thanks for answeing again though!

Hi, so I am in Year 11 at school and I really want to study Medicine at University. I am predicted straight As and A*s and did really well in my mocks (4 A*s, 2 As and a B).
