Unfortunately I have taken the wrong subjects to study medicine at university. I know there is the option of Foundation Years, that is my plan A. However, I need a plan B just in case, any ideas?

What subjects are you taking? and is it too late to change?

Kind regards,

I have been predicted AAB and I'm using 3 of my choices for Medicine with a foundation year. I've been wondering, what's stopping an A*AA student from applying to this course to "guarantee" a uni offer. Do they check what your AS grades are and what you're predicted?

Also, along with my AAB predicted, I got 560 UKCAT average with SJT band 2. What are my chances for an offer if I apply to Nottingham's(BBC) and Manchester's(AAA) Medicine with foundation year course. Manchester says they accept humanities/arts subject combinations but will they consider a Maths, chem and bio combination?

what are your GCSE grades?
Can I apply to foundation medicine with AAB as my alevel predictions? I have bad gcse grades (2A*s,2As,8Bs) and a ukcat score of 585 as average with a band 2 in situational judgement.

Don't your predicted grades need to be lower than BBC for a foundation course for Nottingham and Derby foundation year?
