Don’t bother you haven’t a chance in hell with those grades unless you get top marks at A Level

Ok thanks
Well taking photography might put you at a slight disadvantage when applying if you think about the bigger picture and since your GCSE's aren't stellar your chances aren't great tbh. Sorry if that sounds harsh but people with better stats have been rejected.

Although maybe your chances will be higher if you reapplied with achieved grades.

Well what do u think makes a doctor why are u interested seeing as photography is one of your options for alevel hardly scientific and certainly tells the interviewer perhaps your passion lies elsewhere

Become a photographer you might succeed far better than if you became a doctor unless you can justify your reasons for your options and reasons for choosing medicine. Trust me in the long run it might save you a greater ordeal than if you had chosen something els
