hello, i'm last years s6 leaver currently taking a gap year and i REALLY want to do medicine. i always got discouraged by teachers which is why i was indecisive as they told me it was impossible. i understand how difficult and competitive it can be and i'll do anything to be a doctor.
i've combed through google and the only routes available are access to medicine - which gap year takers aren't eligible for, wider access program which i'm also not eligible for and the choice to take graduate medicine, but to do that i need to take an undergraduate course for which the requirements are good grades by the end of HIGHSCHOOL. I've currently applied to college, and as far as i'm aware its impossible for college students to progress onto medicine in scottish universities.
i really need help, i can't find anyone else in the same situation as me - trying to get into med from college. my school never helped me with college and career paths, they only gave a damn about the people applying to uni. Compared to the entry requirements i have bad high school grades only because i lacked motivation, surely there must be some other way to make up for it? I haven't sat many highers, especially ones needed for uni and i hear they don't allow resits so i'm not sure if i can get into a medical course by getting the grades in college. i know i'm capable of achieving A's. any suggestions or advice would be helpful, thank you.
